Forum Rules (Everyone Must Read!!!)

1] What you CAN NOT post.

You agree, through your use of this service, that you will not use this forum to post any material which is:
- abusive
- vulgar
- hateful
- harassing
- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)
- post any copyrighted material unless the copyright is owned by you or cited properly.
- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc
- post racist or other intentionally insensitive material that insults or attacks another culture (including Turks)

The Ankap thread is excluded from the strict rules because that place is more relaxed and you can vent and engage in light insults and humor. Notice it's not a blank ticket, but just a place to vent. If you go into the Ankap thread, you enter at your own risk of being clowned on.
What you PROBABLY SHOULD NOT post...
Do not post information that you will regret putting out in public. This site comes up on Google, is cached, and all of that, so be aware of that as you post. Do not ask the staff to go through and delete things that you regret making available on the web for all to see because we will not do it. Think before you post!


2] Use descriptive subject lines & research your post. This means use the SEARCH.

This reduces the chances of double-posting and it also makes it easier for people to see what they do/don't want to read. Using the search function will identify existing threads on the topic so we do not have multiple threads on the same topic.

3] Keep the focus.

Each forum has a focus on a certain topic. Questions outside the scope of a certain forum will either be moved to the appropriate forum, closed, or simply be deleted. Please post your topic in the most appropriate forum. Users that keep doing this will be warned, then banned.

4] Behave as you would in a public location.

This forum is no different than a public place. Behave yourself and act like a decent human being (i.e. be respectful). If you're unable to do so, you're not welcome here and will be made to leave.

5] Respect the authority of moderators/admins.

Public discussions of moderator/admin actions are not allowed on the forum. It is also prohibited to protest moderator actions in titles, avatars, and signatures. If you don't like something that a moderator did, PM or email the moderator and try your best to resolve the problem or difference in private.

6] Promotion of sites or products is not permitted.

Advertisements are not allowed in this venue. No blatant advertising or solicitations of or for business is prohibited.
This includes, but not limited to, personal resumes and links to products or
services with which the poster is affiliated, whether or not a fee is charged
for the product or service. Spamming, in which a user posts the same message repeatedly, is also prohibited.

7] We retain the right to remove any posts and/or Members for any reason, without prior notice.


- PLEASE READ -

Members are welcome to read posts and though we encourage your active participation in the forum, it is not required. If you do participate by posting, however, we expect that on the whole you contribute something to the forum. This means that the bulk of your posts should not be in "fun" threads (e.g. Ankap, Keep & Kill, This or That, etc.). Further, while occasionally it is appropriate to simply voice your agreement or approval, not all of your posts should be of this variety: "LOL Member213!" "I agree."
If it is evident that a member is simply posting for the sake of posting, they will be removed.


8] These Rules & Guidelines may be amended at any time. (last update September 17, 2009)

If you believe an individual is repeatedly breaking the rules, please report to admin/moderator.

        Kurds acknowledge Armenian Genocide in Istanbul!

        Kurdish Conference Marked with Controversy over Zana
        By Erkan Acar, Cagri Cobanoglu, Serbest Ozden, Istanbul
        Published: Sunday, March 12, 2006

        A panel discussion on the Kurdish issue in Turkey was hosted amid hot and strange opinions on the Dolapdere campus of Bilgi University in cooperation with the Helsinki Citizens Assembly and the Empathy Group.

        Described by some as the Southwest issue, and described by others as the Kurdish problem, participants struggled to find a common ground to share. There was hot debate between Ahmet Turk, the former deputy of the defunct Democratic Party (DEP), and Umit Firat, one of the organizers of the conference during the second session titled “Organizations and Experiences” that took place in the morning. Mr. Turk criticized Umit’s interview with Hurriyet, a Turkish daily, that contained angry statements over the refusal to invite those who chose violence to the conference: “Not long before the conference began, discussions began over Leyla Zana being refused an invitation to this conference.” Firat responded by refuting Hurriyet’s news report. Sefa Kaplan, a Hurriyet reporter, who interviewed Mr. Firat, and who also attended the conference, claimed he had evidence to confirm the news article was true.


        Sertac Bucak, the founder and former president of the International Center for Human Rights of the Kurds, pressed the terror organization PKK, the Kurdish Worker’s Party, for disarmament during the first session titled “The Evolution of Kurdish Issue and its Historical Background” when he said: “Armed resistance fits well in with the policies of status quo in Turkey. The last three days of bombings, like those in Van, are a clear indication of what I just said now. However, anyone who acknowledges the existence of the Kurdish issue should not be claimed a separatist.

        ” When Ali Bayramoglu, a journalist, asked about the allegations that the Kurds committed the murder of a massive number of Armenians, sociologist Ismail Besikci responded by saying: “The Intelligence Service contained many Kurdish people. Freed from the prison, promised possession, the Kurds were coaxed by the then government into participating in the Armenian genocide.

        The Kurds then did not act on their own free will. In the killing of many Kurds such as Musa Anter, the Kurds were again used to trigger violence.”


        Professor Ahmet Insal argued during the session on nationalism that nationalism is an exclusionist discourse when he said “nationalism is impossible to integrate with peace." Mumtaz’er Turkone, professor at Gazi University, and a Zaman columnist, argued in response that the Turkish nationalism is not propelled by the Turks. “Perhaps the Kurds contributed more to the Turkish nationalism than the Turks did,” said Turkone, “It is the Macedonians and Circassians who founded the Republic and they created the nationalism in order to protect the state. Ziya Gokalp, the author of The Basics of Turkish Nationalism, was also of Kurdish origin.”


        On their way to Bilgi University, the participants were protested by Artist Bedri Baykam and members of the Patriotic Movement, a radical right-wing movement in Turkey.
        "All truth passes through three stages:
        First, it is ridiculed;
        Second, it is violently opposed; and
        Third, it is accepted as self-evident."

        Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)
