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.

    NEW YORK, April 23, 2008 (PRIME NEWSWIRE) -- New York Governor David
    A. Paterson issued a Proclamation for the Empire State to join in
    with the entire community to commemorate the 93rd anniversary of
    the Armenian Genocide. In the proclamation, the Governor states,
    "Whereas, it is fitting that all New Yorkers recognize the hardships
    the Armenians faced, for the purpose of preventing such as the Armenian
    Genocide of 1915-23 from recurring and to appreciate the United States
    role as a refuge for all oppressed people."

    The public is welcome to participate in the 93rd Anniversary
    Commemoration of the Armenian Genocide to be held in Times Square
    (43rd & Broadway) on Sunday, April 27 from 2-4 PM. Organized by
    the Knights & Daughters of Vartan, an Armenian-American fraternal
    organization, the Commemoration theme is "We Cannot Forget, We Will
    Not Forget." Armenian-Americans and their supporters will gather to
    pay tribute to the 1.5 million Armenians who were annihilated by the
    Young Turk Government of the Ottoman Empire. The Commemoration will
    also celebrate the survival of the Armenian people, their rich heritage
    and their contributions. Dennis R. Papazian, PhD, Founding Director
    of the Armenian Research Center of the University of Michigan and
    Mary A. Papazian, PhD, Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic
    Affairs at Lehman College, C.U.N.Y, will preside over the ceremonies.

    and their families, elected officials, and humanitarian, cultural,
    religious, educational and community leaders. Distinguished speakers
    include U.S. Senator Robert Menendez (D-NJ); U.S. Representative Frank
    Pallone, Jr. (D-NJ), co-chair of the Congressional Caucus on Armenian
    Issues; Carla Garapedian, director of the award-winning documentary
    Screamers, which explores the history of reoccurrence and denial of
    genocides in the 20th and 21st centuries; Attorney Mark J. Garagos,
    who helped lead groundbreaking Federal Class Action Lawsuits against
    New York Life and other insurance companies for insurance polices
    issued to Armenians living in Turkey prior to the Armenian Genocide;
    Alex Hinton, PhD, Director of the Study of Genocide and Human
    Rights at Rutgers University and Vice President of the International
    Association of Genocide Scholars; and Dr. Daniel Jonah Goldhagen,
    author of Hitler's Willing Executioners. In 2009, Goldhagen will
    host the PBS documentary Worse Than War, based on his forthcoming
    book exploring the general phenomenon of genocide throughout the world.

    Armenian Genocide Experts Sam Azadian and Dr. Dennis R. Papazian
    are available for media interviews via phone and in-person. Armenian
    Genocide Survivors are also available (with translators) to discuss
    their eyewitness accounts as refugees from the Armenian Genocide. Their
    painful accounts of the horrendous horrors and mass destruction
    they witnessed and lived through are critical contributions to world
    history.

    New York and New Jersey churches, Baruyr's (40th Street & Queens
    Boulevard) and the Hovnanian School, New Milford, New Jersey. For

    Congressman King reaffirmed historical fact of Armenian Genocide for Congressional Record
    26.04.2008 14:16 GMT+04:00
    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Congressman Peter King (R-NY-3) reaffirmed the historical fact of the Armenian Genocide in remarks offered for the Congressional Record on Thursday, April 24, 2008 reported the Armenian National Committee of New York (ANC of NY).

    Speaking at the meeting, Cong. King told the delegation of Armenian community leaders that he has always known that the events of 1915 constituted genocide, and pledged to include such language in a statement to be offered for the Congressional Record.

    In his remarks, he stated: "Today I rise to mark the anniversary of the Armenian Genocide which began on this date ninety-three years ago. From 1915-1923 the Ottoman Empire carried out the deportation of approximately 2 million Armenian men, women, and children from their homeland of which 1.5 million were killed. And to this day, neither the Ottoman nor Turkish governments have been held to account for their involvement."
    General Antranik (1865-1927): “I am not a nationalist. I recognize only one nation, the nation of the oppressed.”

      REP. MARKEY COMMEMORATES ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

      US Fed News
      April 24, 2008 Thursday

      Rep. Edward J. Markey, D-Mass. (7th CD), issued the following
      statement:

      Representative Edward J. Markey (D-MA), entered the following statement
      into the Congressional Record commemorating the 93rd anniversary of
      the Armenian Genocide:

      "Madam Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the ninety-third
      anniversary of the Armenian Genocide.

      "In September of 1919, President Woodrow Wilson spoke of his vision
      of a future Armenia. He said, 'Armenia is to be redeemed...So that
      at last this great people, struggling through night after night of
      terror, knowing not when they may come out into a time when they can
      enjoy their rights as free people that they never dreamed they would
      be able to exercise.'

      "The Armenian people finally have the ability to enjoy the rights
      that President Wilson hoped they would have so many years ago, and
      for that we are all thankful.

      "The nights of terror that President Wilson spoke about, the Armenian
      Genocide, was the first genocide of the twentieth century. It was
      the opening chapter of what was arguably the most violent period
      of human history. In the decades following this initial Genocide,
      the world witnessed genocidal acts against the Jews and against
      the Roma in World War II, and subsequently in Cambodia, Rwanda,
      Bosnia-Herzegovina, and in too many wars to list here. Today, the
      world is witnessing genocide yet again in Darfur.

      "There is no more important way to commit ourselves to preventing
      the genocides of the future than to commemorate and never forget the
      genocides of the past. As such, I would like to note my continuing
      support for House finally passage of H.Res. 106, the Affirmation of
      the United States Record on the Armenian Genocide Resolution. In
      my view, it is long past time for the United States to officially
      recognize the massacre of one and a half million Armenians in early
      in the twentieth century for what it undeniably was: a genocide.

      "Countries all around the world have adopted similar resolutions to
      ensure that the atrocities committed against the Armenian people are
      properly recognized as genocide. Canada, France, Switzerland, Greece,
      and Poland have passed resolutions affirming the recognition of the
      Armenian Genocide. Properly recognizing the Armenian Genocide here
      in America is essential to ensure that all past genocides are never
      forgotten and all future atrocities are never permitted. This House
      must afford the proper recognition to the Armenian Genocide. We must
      do so not only because of our solemn obligation to recognize those
      that were lost, but also because of our duty to those that can still
      be saved.

      "I yield back the balance of my time."
      General Antranik (1865-1927): “I am not a nationalist. I recognize only one nation, the nation of the oppressed.”
