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.

            19.01.2009 16:12 GMT+04:00


            /PanARMENIAN.Net/ 27 516 people have already signed the Turkish apology petition which reads, "My conscience does not accept the insensitivity showed to and the denial of the Great Calamity that befell the Ottoman Armenians in 1915. I reject this injustice and for my share, I empathize with the feelings and pain of my Armenian brothers. I apologize to them."

            As freelance French journalist Jean Eckian told PanARMENIAN.Net, over 6 300 signatories are students, over 1 700 are professors, over 1 200 are engineers, over 1 000 are workers and retired people, less than 700 are attorneys and housewives, less than 600 are journalists, less than 500 are physicians, less than 400 are craftsmen, accountants, authors and educators, less than 300 are unemployed persons, less than 200 are architects, researchers, computer specialists, less than 150 are bankers and foremen.

            The geography of signatories varies. In Turkey, Istanbul is the first (9 937) followed by Ankara (2 129), Izmir (1 823) and Diyarbakir (1 423). Then follow Mersin (482), Bursa (415), Adana (394), Antalya (382), Van (375) and Mardin (334).

            As to foreign countries, 3 793 signatures were registered from 63 states. 1 729 signatures came from Germany, 343 from the U.S., 324 from the United Kingdom, 310 from France, 231 from Switzerland. Then Poland, Austria, Sweden, Canada, Belgium, Australia, Denmark and Holland come.

                A wise decision


                Turkey: no action against apology to Armenians

                The Associated Press
                Monday, January 26, 2009

                ANKARA, Turkey: Prosecutors have decided not to take action against organizers of an online apology campaign for the World War I massacres of Armenians in Turkey, a prosecutor's office official said Monday, suggesting an easing of attitude toward free expression.

                The prosecutor's office began investigating the campaign after six people formally complained that the apology violated the controversial law Article 301, which makes it illegal to "humiliate" the Turkish nation.

                More than 28,000 people added their names to the apology by a group of prominent academics, journalists, writers and artists. The campaign was hailed as a sign that many in Turkey are ready to break a long-held taboo against acknowledging Turkish culpability for the deaths of up to 1.5 million Armenians and had raised hopes for a reconciliation between Turks and Armenians.

                A counter campaign on the Internet under the title "I do not apologize" has attracted more than 65,000 signatures.

                Article 301 has been used to punish statements deemed to insult Turkey and to restrict free speech. Nobel Prize winning writer Orhan Pamuk was prosecuted for statements on the massacres of Armenians, but charges were dropped.

                The Ankara Chief Prosecutor's office ruled there were no legal grounds on which to prosecute organizers of the apology by Turkish intellectuals issued on the Internet, the official said — a sign that the Turkish judiciary is relaxing its attitude toward expression of independent thought.

                The prosecutor's office ruled that "in democratic societies adverse opinions are also protected within the framework of freedom of thought," the official said anonymously because civil servants are barred from speaking to reporters without prior authorization.

                Historians estimate that, in the last days of the Ottoman Empire, Armenians were massacred by Ottoman Turks in what is widely regarded as the first genocide of the 20th century. Armenians have long pushed for the deaths to be recognized as genocide.

                While Turkey does not deny that many died in that era, the country has rejected the term genocide, saying the death toll is inflated and the deaths resulted from civil unrest during the Ottoman Empire's collapse.

                Turkey and Armenia have recently taken steps toward repairing ties. The two neighbors have no diplomatic relations and their shared border has been closed since 1993, when Turkey protested Armenia's occupation of the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh. Turkey backs Azerbaijan's claims to the region, which has a high number of ethnic Armenian residents but is located within Azerbaijan's borders.

                In September, however, President Abdullah Gul became the first Turkish leader to visit Armenia, where he and Armenian President Serge Sarkisian watched their countries' football teams play a World Cup qualifying match.
                General Antranik (1865-1927): “I am not a nationalist. I recognize only one nation, the nation of the oppressed.”
