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.

  • Armenian Genocide Connected First Of All With Ideology: Russian Historian



    Yerevan, May 23. ArmInfo. The attempts of a number of Turkish
    historians to justify the Genocide of Armenians with the pro-Russian
    sentiments of Armenians are absolutely baseless like the statements
    that "the Armenians and Turks had normal relations before Russia's
    coming to the Caucasus." Head of the 19th Century Section, State
    Historical Museum, Victor Bezotosny told ArmInfo.

    He stressed that for centuries the Turkish state government machine
    repeatedly organized ethnic purges accompanied with pogroms of the
    Christian nations in the Ottoman Empire: Greeks, Serbs, Bulgarians, and
    Armenians. The history of Russian-Turkish wars shows that every time
    after war Russia would undertook the protection of Christian peoples
    in the Ottoman Empire, the historian said. After the Russian-Turkish
    war of 1887-1878, Russia insisted on its military presence in Western
    Armenia as a guarantor of security of western Armenians before the
    Sultan would carry out reforms. West-European super powers headed
    by great Britain were against these plans for the fear of the future
    expansion of the Russian Empire. And Alexander II yielded to Europe
    for the results of the Crimea war were fresh in the memory of the
    Russian public.

    Armenian Genocide in Ottoman Turkey as well as the annihilation of
    Jews in Germany under Hitler were connected with domestic political
    matters and first of all with ideology, he said. He underlined that
    historical documents leave no doubts that Genocide was committed
    against the Armenian people in Ottoman 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)
