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.

  • TALK: in Budapest by Selim Deringil on "Mass conversions of Armenians to Islam

    THE CENTRAL EUROPEAN UNIVERSITY
    NATIONALISM STUDIES PROGRAM



    cordially invites you to a lecture by

    Selim Deringil
    Department of History, Bosphorous University, Istanbul

    'Of their own free will and desire' :
    Mass conversions of Armenians to Islam during the Anatolian massacres of
    1894-1897

    Thursday, February 14 at 5.30 p.m.
    Tóth István György Room


    During what came to be called the 'Abdulhamid Era Massacres' of the
    1890's, a highly unequal struggle took place in eastern Anatolia between the
    Ottoman state, the Armenian revolutionary organizations, the Dashnaksitiun
    and the Hunchaksitioun, the Kurdish irregular cavalry and the local Armenian
    population. The issue also became a high level diplomatic question involving
    high level politics. One aspect of the crisis that has been largely ignored
    is the matter of mass conversions to Islam by thousands of Armenians who
    converted to save their lives. This issue has been dealt with only
    tangentially most of the literature. This paper is a the first fruit of
    work in progress on the basis of Ottoman archival documentation.

    Selim Deringil is Recurrent Visiting Professor in the Nationalism Studies
    Program at the Central European University in Budapest. He is currently on
    the faculty of the History Department at Bosphorous University, Istanbul,
    Turkey. His interests are in cultural and intellectual history and he is
    currently involved in research on religious conversion and apostasy in the
    late Ottoman Empire. His interests are teaching and research on comparative
    themes in Ottoman/European history. He has held various teaching positions
    in the US, Britain, Israel and France. He has published in Turkish, English,
    French, Greek and Japanese.

    A reception will follow
