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.

    STOP to EU Membership of this Genocidal Turkey

    STOP
    to EU Membership of this Genocidal Turkey

    Pan-European Demonstration
    Friday, 14 December 2007
    Place du Cinquantenaire, Brusselles, Starting at 9 :30a.m.


    On Friday, December 14, the leaders of the 27 EU member states will discuss Turkey's EU membership at the European Council summit.

    Under pressure from Turkey, all reference to the Armenian Genocide has been removed from the negotiation process. The struggle between the Turkish government and the Armenian Cause (Hai Dat) advocates continues.

    For us to win in that struggle, we have to mobilize on all fronts: political, diplomatic, public relations and popular.

    On Friday, December 14, we have to demonstrate our strength.

    On Friday, December 14, we should force the European Council to face its responsibility.

    On Friday, December 14, the leaders of Europe's 27 states ought to express their opinions on the suitability of Turkey to enter Europe.

    On Friday, December 14, the Armenians of Europe will go to Brussels to say «STOP» to this Turkey's entry into Europe.

    Every occasion should be utilized. No one else will struggle on our behalf.

    EU opens new chapters in Turkish talks

    Wednesday, December 19, 2007

    BRUSSELS - AFP

    The European Union agreed Monday to open two more of the 35 negotiating chapters that Turkey must complete to join the bloc this week, the EU's Portuguese presidency said.

    The two chapters – "Trans-European Networks" and "Consumer and Health Protection" – will officially be opened this morning in the presence of Turkish and EU officials.

    The move was made possible by the creation last week of a "reflection group" on the future of Europe. France had insisted that the committee be set up as a condition for not blocking Turkey's progress on the talks.

    Since Turkey began its accession talks in October 2005, only four of the 35 chapters – each relating to different policy areas – have been opened. Eight were frozen a year ago in response to Ankara's refusal to open its ports and airports to vessels and aircraft from EU member state Cyprus, with which it has a long-standing dispute over the northern third of the divided island. Turkey's talks are expected to last at least a decade, with no guarantee of membership at the end of it all.

      From a pretty good source I know in Austria, he claims it will take at least another 30 years to EU membership.. if it all. Europeans view Turkey as entirely too nationalist and that Turks require significantly more time to liberalize...and even mellow out.

        More Turks are against Turkey's EU membership then any country within the EU.

          I think the majority of the people still want to join (even those who say they are against membership).

            Thats a start , one must know where they don't belong.
            "All truth passes through three stages:
            First, it is ridiculed;
            Second, it is violently opposed; and
            Third, it is accepted as self-evident."

              Pöttering: No Armenia condition for Turkey

              The European Parliament wants Turkey to "face its past" but will not ask it to recognize Armenian claims of genocide at the hands of the Ottoman Empire to become a member of the European Union, the parliament's German President Hansgert Pöttering reiterated yesterday.

              "We have told Turkey that it should recognize its historical responsibilities. We cannot go beyond that," he told reporters at a press conference in Brussels, on the sidelines of an EU summit. He said history could teach people lessons to prevent the repetition of tragic past events, adding that a process of moral and mental digestion should be completed for this first.

              Turkey categorically rejects Armenian charges that Armenians were killed in a systematic genocide campaign during the World War I years in eastern Anatolia and says as many Muslims died in the course of a civil strife, when Armenians took up arms and revolted against the Ottoman Empire in collaboration with the invading Russian army in hopes of creating an Armenian state in part of eastern Anatolia. The Turkish government has proposed formation of a joint group of historians from Turkey and Armenia to study the history, but Armenia has declined to take the offer.

              When EU leaders were holding their one-day summit in Brussels, a group of some 400 Armenians gathered for a protest near the summit hall against Turkey's accession to the EU. They held banners reading "Stop!" as they demanded the EU halt accession talks with Ankara and criticized the 27-nation bloc for being too soft on Turkey.

              Pöttering appeared to be playing down concerns over freedom of expression in EU candidate Turkey, saying he did not agree that there was no freedom of expression in Turkey and that there are problems with freedom of the press almost everywhere in the world. But he openly criticized Ankara for its lack of progress in religious freedoms, citing Turkey's refusal to recognize the "ecumenical" status of the Greek Orthodox patriarch based in İstanbul and to reopen a Greek Orthodox seminary on an island off İstanbul, closed since 1971.

                Turkey has such a severe case of moral and mental indigestion that it is preventing the digestion process from even starting.

                  With all the respect ,but this thread is crap.
                  To let Turkey enter EU, they will demand so many things from her that will not go through even the half of them.
                  Turkey will have to open all unions ,allow freedom of speech ,return exiled minorities, grant more cultural rights to the minorities, admit that has great responsibility to the ''Events of 1915'' (=armenian genocide), withdraw and recognize Cyprus,...
                  Turkey is not willing to do all these things!

                  So turkey will be forced to do these things or will not enter. So its better for all greek and armenians to support turkey enter EU!

                  ...even if they do not belong here...

                  its better a european turkey rather than a gray wolf one.

                    FRANCE'S SARKOZY OPPOSES TURKISH ENTRY INTO EU, VOWS REFERENDUM

                    ANS
                    25.04.2008 12:03

                    French President Nicolas Sarkozy on Thursday reaffirmed his opposition
                    to Turkey joining the European Union and said he would order a
                    referendum on Turkish membership if necessary.

                    His comments came a day after his government said it would scrap a
                    constitutional amendment that requires France to hold a referendum
                    on any future enlargement of the EU.

                    "I have always been opposed to the entry of Turkey" into the EU,
                    he said in a television interview. "Turkey is not in Europe," the
                    president declared.

                    Sarkozy said that if Turkey's membership of the EU became a serious
                    issue while he was president he would call a referendum.

                    But the French leader said he was also against holding automatic
                    referendums each time a new member joins the EU. The cabinet on
                    Wednesday approved plans to change the constitution so that France
                    does not have to hold a public vote each time a new country wants to
                    join the EU.

                    "If tomorrow the Swiss want to come into Europe, we are not going
                    to contest the fact that they are Europeans" and hold a referendum,
                    he said in the interview. "You cannot have a France that tells its
                    26 European partners excuse us, we cannot decide anything because of
                    the referendum," Sarkozy was quoted as saying by AFP.

                    Sarkozy has repeatedly said Turkey, which has embarked on preliminary
                    talks with the EU, "does not belong in Europe", arguing that most of
                    its land mass is in Asia. Polls indicate most French back Sarkozy's
                    stance.

                    The EU opened entry talks with Turkey in 2005, but there has been
                    little progress amid disagreements over Cyprus and opposition from
                    France and other EU countries, including Austria.
                    General Antranik (1865-1927): “I am not a nationalist. I recognize only one nation, the nation of the oppressed.”
