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.

    Turkey calls back ambassador to Canada

    http://www.cbc.ca/world/story/2009/0...da-recall.html

    A Turkish government official says the country recalled its ambassador to Canada after Canadian ministers reportedly took part in an event that labelled the Ottoman-era killings of Armenians as genocide.

    Ambassador Rafet Akgunay returned to Ankara for consultations, the government official said on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to speak with journalists on the subject. He did not say why Akgunay was recalled or for how long.

    Turkey is upset that Canadian officials reportedly attended an event Monday commemorating the deaths Armenians at the end of First World War as genocide.

    Hurriyet newspaper said the event in Ottawa was reportedly organized to mark the fifth anniversary of a vote in Canada's Parliament to recognize the killings as genocide.

    It is the second time that Turkey has recalled its ambassador to Canada over the genocide dispute.

    In 2006, Turkey criticized Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper for remarks he made in support of recognizing the mass killings as genocide and briefly withdrew its ambassador. It also pulled out of a military exercise in Canada in protest.

    Historians estimate that up to 1.5 million Armenians were killed by Ottoman Turks, widely viewed by genocide scholars as the first genocide of the 20th century. Turkey denies that the deaths constituted genocide, contending the toll has been inflated, and the casualties were victims of civil war and unrest.

    Leglislators in the United States have also introduced a resolution that would call the death genocide. If passed, the resolution could undermine efforts by President Barack Obama's administration to win NATO ally Turkey's help on key foreign policy goals.

    U.S. legislators almost passed a similar resolution two years ago, but congressional leaders did not bring it up for a vote after intense pressure from the Bush administration.

    Obama avoided the term "genocide" when he addressed Turkish lawmakers during his visit a month ago. But he said, in response to a question, that he had not changed his views. As a presidential candidate, Obama said the killings amounted to genocide.

              This is what I wrote to the Minister Jason Kenney.

              "Dear Honorable Jason Kenney:

              I wish to thank you in regards to your manly and justly stand on the side of our beloved martyrs' who died en mass withought knowing why and who was doing all these atrocities and killings to them. I am greatly thankful to your stand, a stand that is uncorrupted and truly on the side of the ultimate truth as our innocent and Christian nation was totally uprooted and massacred en masse. All of today's eastern Turkey was Armenia for millenia; we had Churches, Monasteries and great culture for thousands of years before the Mongolian Turks came and charged to our country from the 12th through the 15th centuries by killing and taking over our properties and our lands to finally massacring us by Abdul Hamid II from 1984 through 1986 who killed about 300,000 Armenians and then by the young Turks (Talaat, Jemal and Enver Pashas) who masterminded the Armenian Genocide by killing 1,500 million Armenians from 1915 through 1923. And now the final phase of the Turkish government's Genocide of today is their denyelist attitudes. The Genocide is still continuing to this day; because the belligerent and the murderous government hasn't been told off by the whole world. The proof is the Sudanist government's Genocide in Darfur who continues murdering the Darfurians, the same way the Turks did in 1915 to the Armenians. If the whole world in unity stands against all Genocides and punish the murderers, then other belligerent governments would not dare to do such atrocities and mass killings to other nations.

              Again, I thank you for your stand on the side of the truth and may God bless you and your beloved compatriots.

              Sincerely yours,"

                Jason Kenny has consistently been one of the most pro-Armenian Canadian MPs. Other high-profile people that were present were former Liberal leader Stephane Dion and current Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff who gave a speech that can be heard here.

                  I don't trust Michael Ignatieff, I have this feeling he's two-faced.... oh wait he IS a politician...

                  I do like the Hitler reference at the end though.... a little jab at the xxxish lobby.
