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.

    Giovanni Guaita: I Would Insist On The Return Of Mountain Ararat

    GIOVANNI GUAITA: I WOULD INSIST ON THE RETURN OF MOUNTAIN ARARAT

    Yerevan, April 24. ArmInfo. "If I were Armenian, I would first of all insist on the return of the Biblical mountain of Ararat as a compensation to Armenia," Italian writer and historian Giovanni Guaita said during a meeting held in Moscow on the occasion of the 91st anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.

    "Genocide is a crime against whole humanity and this crime is continued today against everybody, including against me, as it has been not recognized to date. But as a historian I am sure that this problem will be solved. Hope is not utopia. Hope is always based on faith and faith is an axiom for the Armenians. The Armenians of the whole world should come to unanimity on the Armenian Genocide and on the way to solve this super task. Here they should rely on their own selves," Guaita said. Present at the meeting were representatives of the Greek, Syrian, Kurdish communities of Moscow, journalists and the leaders of the Union of Armenians of Russia.

    Of course all Armenians would want this....at the very least...but the time for demands/requests or what have you of this nature is not yet. It is unproductive (in the extreme...as it feeds the resistance to recognition in the first place). We need recognition first - and not just forced recognition - but a transformation of Turkish culture and society needs to occur...to the point where Turks - not only accept the past (and quit the knee jerk counter charges/blame the victims etc) - but where they actually feel remorse and the desire to do something as compensation for our losses...much as many Western nations - such as the US have done so with their native populations and others they have trodden upon in the past. These things will take time and a great deal of maturation is requirred for Turks and their society.

            We have a demand: it's to recognize the Armenian Genocide. Why does that surprise you?

                I don't think "compensation" is a correct term to use. If someone robbed your house of all of your belongings (not to mention killing members of your family and destroying most of your house) and 90 years later decided to give you one piece of family heirloom such as your granfather's pocket watch, would you consider this as compensation? I really can't understand how returning something to the righful owner can be considered as compensation.

                  The above things will happen when pigs can fly.

                    What will you do if they don't recognize the Armenian Genocide?
