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.

    Nevruz celebrations show rift in DTP

    Nevruz celebrations show rift in DTP

    The New Anatolian / Ankara



    This week's Nevruz celebrations organized by the pro-Kurdish Democratic Society Party (DTP) in the southeastern province of Diyarbakir have served to expose a rift within the party.

    The problems between the DTP and former pro-Kurdish Democracy Party (DEP) member and current DTP member Leyla Zana surfaced during the celebrations in Diyarbakir. Zana, who delivered a speech at last year's celebrations, did not even attend the official section of this year's celebrations.

    However, the DTP's Ahmet Turk yesterday denied problems with Zana and said the latter needs time to rest due to health problems.

    Due to problems with her party, Zana watched the celebrations with her daughter in her traditional clothes and then left the celebrations.

    Moreover, former DEP member and current DTP member Orhan Dogan was also absent from the area. Dogan, however, said that he has no problem with his party but he wouldn't take part in the celebrations due to health problems.

    Former DEP members Sedat Yurttas, Hatip Dicle and Selim Sadak were present in the area especially reserved for top DTP officials.

    Zana no-show at reception

    The problems between the DTP and Zana were also evident at the DTP's Nevruz reception held on Monday.

    Zana reportedly received no invitation but was later invited to the reception by phone. She didn't accept the invitation.

    It's been claimed that inmate head of the terrorist Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) Abdullah Ocalan criticized Zana, who spent many years serving a jail sentence. Zana was offered the position of co-chairman of the DTP when the party was first established at the end of last year, but then withdrew upon Ocalan's reaction.

    Aysel Tugluk, Ocalan's lawyer, became co-chairman of the party instead of Zana.
