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.

      The role of Armenian Sport in Ottoman Empire

      THE ROLE OF ARMENIAN SPORT IN OTTOMAN EMPIRE

      In the summer of 1912 two Armenian sportsmen, Vahram Papazyan and Mkrtich Mkryan, took part in the 5th International Olympic Games in Stockholm, representing the empire to the Olympics for the first time. In 1915 to 1920 innumerable Armenian sportsmen became victim of the Genocide, most Armenian sports clubs closed.

      This reveals new details of Armenian history and includes about 70 photos, documents, periodicals which tell the history of the Armenian sport clubs and football teams in the Ottoman Empire until 1915. It turned out that in times of Abdul Hamid it was forbidden to appear in the public half-naked; that is why the sportsmen could be arrested even during a contest. However, the women’s sport was also developed in that period.

      The number of the Armenian sport clubs in the Ottoman Empire was about 100. In 1911 to 1914 the Armenian Olympic Games were held in Constantinople. From 1911 to 1914 the Marmnamarz, a sports newspaper editor Shavarsh Krisyan, was published which was the first sports periodical in the empire.

      Today the exposition headlined “Armenian Sports in the Ottoman Empire” opens at the Museum Institute of the Armenian Genocide which will last till September 15.

      “The Armenian sport clubs and sportsmen had a significant contribution to the history of sports in the Ottoman Empire,” the director of Museum Institute of the Armenian Genocide Hayk Demoyan said at the opening ceremony.

      “Armenian Olympic Games were first held in Istanbul and Turkish sportsmen always lost to Armenians. May be this was one of the reasons why Turkish people hated Armenians from those times,” the historian, deputy director of the Museum Institute Suren Maukyan says.

      Armenian population in the Ottoman Empire before total uprooting as a consequence of premeditated and state–orchestrated genocide plan of the elimination of the Armenian nation on the territory of the Ottoman Turkey circa 1915 was among well modernized elements of the empire which although the segregationist and discriminative nature of the ottomans played significant role in the social, economical and cultural life of the empire.

        Not only that but they envied our ability to advance in their own society and become more successful then they could ever be. I am, guessing they figured that allowing us to compete in their own society, even as second hand citizens with all the discriminations and road blocks will lead to their demise because we would rise above them in no time. Most Armos were educated in Europe and US compared to backward Turks. Exterminating us to them was the only way to stop us from success in their jealous minds. We were practically running their banking and commerce sectors.

          I hate this slang-term Armos why can't we refer to each other as Hai's? as we really are.
