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.

    DTP holds govt responsible for violence

    DTP holds govt responsible for violence

    The New Anatolian / Ankara



    Democratic Society Party (DTP) co-chairs Ahmet Turk and Aysel Tugluk have claimed that the government is responsible for the outbreak of violent clashes over the last week.

    Speaking at a press conference at party headquarters yesterday, the DTP co-chairs criticized Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's comment calling on parents to make sure their children don't participate in demonstrations, with one saying, "The prime minister should know that we'll use our bodies to shield our children to protect the future of our country and our children."

    The DTP co-chairs also criticized the state for not returning the bodies of the 14 terrorists that were killed in an operation in Bingol by the security forces on Feb. 25.

    Describing the terrorists killed in the operation in Bingol as "guerillas," Tugluk and Turk said that the DTP is deeply upset about the death of four innocent people in the bombing of a bus stop and the attack on a public bus in Istanbul over the weekend.

    Turk condemned the recent violent incidents in a televised interview on Sunday, saying that both parties should take steps to prevent violence and establish peace. Turk also said that Kurds and Turks should learn to live together within a unitary state structure.

    Asked about his request for an appointment to meet the prime minister, Turk said yesterday that he has yet to receive a response from the prime minister, adding that to meet him is important as it would contribute to the establishment of dialogue.

    Asked about statements made by Greater Diyarbakir Mayor Osman Baydemir, which drew heavy fire from the media and opposition, Turk said that Baydemir acted sensitively.

    On another question about the terrorist Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) using children as pawns in demonstrations, Turk replied, "No one or political movement ever uses children as pawns. That's not right."

    Turk also said that they're against the banning of broadcasts by Roj-TV, alleged to be pro-Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) by the Turkish state, reiterating his views on the need to change Article 3 of the Constitution, which is among the unalterable articles of the Constitution.

      In the British capital London, the branches of three Turkish banks became the target of Molotov xxxxtail attacks earlier today.

      Ziraat Bank and Turkish Bank’s two branches in Dolston, Edmonton and Harringey, respectively, were targeted in the attack.

      The buildings that house the banks suffered minor damage; no one was injured or killed in the incident.

      A police investigation has been launched, and so far, no organization has claimed responsibility.

        PKK Supporters Attack Turkish Locals in Berlin

        By Anadolu News Agency (aa), Berlin
        Published: Tuesday, April 04, 2006
        zaman.com


        Supporters of the terrorist organization, the Kurdish Workers’ Party (PKK) in Berlin, attacked Turkish institutions earlier today.

        Berlin Police reported three perpetrators threw stones at a social club for Turks in the district of Wedding.

        Burning material was also thrown inside; however, those inside manage to extinguish it before it managed to cause any damage.

        The attackers placed an explosive under a car that they damaged in the attack before making their escape.

        Unknown perpetrators in Reinickendorf region also threw burning material at a car. An eyewitness at the scene extinguished the fire.

        A Turkish restaurant, “Hasir,” in Berlin was also attacked by a group over the weekend.

        While the authorities are evaluating all the possible causes for the attacks, it has been suggested that the attacks were influenced by the recent incidents in southeastern Turkey.

            Vigil held for northern Kurdistan in DC, demonstrators threatened

            4/4/2006 KurdishMedia.com
            Washington, DC (KurdishMedia.com) 4 April 2006: Yesterday in Washington, DC, a group of Kurds from various parts of Kurdistan and their American supporters gathered in Sheridan Circle in the heart of Washington DC to honor the children killed in northern (Turkish-occupied) Kurdistan over the past few days. This day-long vigil, organized by the Kurdish National Congress of North America (KNC) and American Kurdish Information Network (AKIN), took place across the street from the residence of the Turkish ambassador to the United States and just one block from the Turkish embassy.

            Kurdistan flags and a large banner was displayed saying “Turkey Hands Off Children of Kurdistan - Honk for Kurdish Freedom.” Many drivers responded enthusiastically and a number of people visited the site during the vigil to express their support for the demonstrators.

            Staff from the Turkish embassy came to the site of the vigil to take pictures of the demonstrators. After arriving on foot and departing, they returned in a vehicle with diplomatic plates. A verbal confrontation ensued, and the staff from the Turkish embassy stated to the demonstrators, “We will get you” and “We will take care of you.” A demonstrator remarked to KurdishMedia.com that it was the first time since arrival to the US well over a decade ago that this person had experienced politically-motivated threats at such an event.

            The vigil sought to honor the victims of recent violence in northern Kurdistan and raise awareness of the plight of the Kurds of the region. While the tragic events in Amed (Diyarbakir) and elsewhere in northern Kurdistan have mobilized Kurds worldwide, with demonstrations of solidarity taking part in Suleimani, Iraqi Kurdistan as well as Qamishlo in Syrian Kurdistan and Iranian Kurdistan, mainstream Western media coverage of these events has remained minimal.

              3 Killed by Beating in Diyarbakir Unrest

              3 Killed by Beating in Diyarbakir Unrest
              By Ismail Avci, Diyarbakir
              Published: Wednesday, April 05, 2006
              zaman.com


              Autopsies on eight of the 10 people who were killed in illegal demonstrations staged in the southeastern Turkish city of Diyarbakir have been completed.

              Three people were beaten to death during the events, it was reported; only one person lost their life due to gunfire. The report refutes claims that "The police opened fire or raked the demonstrators".

              The weapon’s owner, deemed responsible for one death in the events, will be determined through a ballistic investigation.

              Autopsy reports revealed one person was killed in a traffic accident while trying to avoid the squabble.

              Ten firearms belonging to the demonstration group were acquired during investigations. The ballistic investigation has not yet been completed.

                  Istanbul anti-terror police seized 10 kg of A-4 plastic explosives which had been hidden in a graveyard by the Kurdish Workers’ Party (PKK) terror organization.

                  Anti-terror teams, acting on a tip-off, combed the graveyard in the quarter of Esenyurt and uncovered a sack containing explosives. Bomb disposal experts found a total of 10-kg of explosives in the sack along with two detonators.

                  Last week in the Istanbul quarter of Fatih, one person was killed and 14 others were injured when a bomb made from A-4 explosives exploded in a rubbish bin near a bus stop.

                  The blast was later claimed by a branch of the PKK calling themselves the Kurdistan Freedom Falcons.

                    The New Anatolian with AP / Ankara



                    While demonstrations in Turkey said to have been led by the terrorist Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) seem to be dissipating, alleged PKK supporters yesterday attacked Turkish institutions in Berlin and London.

                    Three PKK supporters broke the windows of a Turkish association in Berlin's Wedding district, according to police who added that they believe these incidents are part of the pro-PKK demonstrations in Turkey.

                    A Turkish restaurant was also the target of an attack in the city over the weekend.

                    Two branches of a Turkish bank in London were damaged in overnight firebomb attacks.

                    Bob Long, managing director of Turkish Bank UK, said branches in the northern London neighborhoods of Edmonton and Harringay had suffered "extensive but superficial damage" in the attacks. No one has been reported injured.

                    Both areas are home to large Turkish and Kurdish populations.

                    The Turkish media have reported that a London branch of another Turkish bank, Ziraat Bank, suffered a similar attack.

                      The European Parliament, prompted by the recent rise in violence in Turkey's southeast, will gather on Thursday to discuss the demonstrations in the region and their repercussions in Istanbul which have altogether claimed 15 lives so far.

                      The Parliament is not expected to vote for a declaration about possible measures they might expect Turkey to implement.

                      In related news, the EU-Turkey Joint Parliamentary Commission (KPK) yesterday held a meeting in Strasbourg to discuss recent developments concerning the European Union and Turkey. The meeting was chaired by the ruling Justice and Development (AK) Party's Aydin Dumanoglu, co-chair of the KPK, and Joost Lagendijk from Holland's Green Party. Participants also discussed the upcoming agenda for the KPK meetings that will be held in Ankara in the coming days.

                      The U.S. State Department late on Monday condemned the bombings carried out by the terrorist Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) that killed four people in Istanbul over the weekend.

                      Department deputy spokesman Adam Ereli said the administration also regrets other PKK activities in recent days that led to loss of life in the country's southeast as well as in Istanbul.

                      "We call on all parties to exercise restraint and we reiterate our strong condemnation of all terrorist groups, including the PKK," he said
