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.

    That being said, you did not answer my question. What would be the motivation for Turkey to give up the land? It is a fair question.
    Well, for starters peace would be a motivation but that doesn't motivate those who are in position to profit from war. The biggest thorn in Turkey's side are the Kurds. That problem doesn't seem to go away and the US presence in Iraq gave more power to PKK in that region. Having a neighboring strong Armenia and the friendship that would result from giving back their ancestral lands would be a motivation for Turks. That wouldn't be ideal for those that wish to create a greater government infrastructure spanning across the entire region from Turkey to Azerbaijan. Bigger and stronger government is never better for the average citizen. Take a look at what the formation of the European Union did to the average citizen.

    Regarding to the last statement of Erdogan, he is one of the most opportunist PM Turkey ever had. I wish he was sincere since Turkey does not have a good history with her minorities at all especially with the Greek minority. Just remember what he said for the 40000 illegal Armenians working to make a living and send money to their families in Armenia. He is not sincere and I would not even dare to say I would exile those ppl whatever problem my country has with the ROA.

    Let me be clear. Turkey does not have a proper social democratic or leftist movement for which human right issues, democracy or welfare would be important. For that you should also be thankful to US since it was very supportive of the coup d'etat taht took place in 1980. I emphasize that current government is not after a democratic and social state structure.

    The bottomline is Erdogan might say just the opposite next month. It should not be a big surprize for you.

    P.S. I have read almost all the comments regarding to Turkey and Armenia in this forum (at least those until 2006). I know that you people have a tendency to call most of the Turks as grey wolves. Please be aware that I am a patriotic for my country but definitely not a greywolf.

    Cheers

    The interesting thing is one by one the media is following the Turkish PM's lead and backing him, which is leaving are true Turkish allies scratching their heads.There's a race now on in Turkey, to run quicker then anyone else to seize the moral high ground, and former fascists and kiss-arses of, are leading by a tongue!

    Then we can talk!

    I also believe in what it is said above.

    Just recently Erdogan went to see the "azeri"s then he announced what we knew already; he won't open the borders bla bla bla that they want Artsakh to be returned bla bla bla..... Over our dead bodies Erdogan!!!

    Before that him and his fascists wanted to have Serzh sign the illegal Kars document; meaning give away all our rights from the Western Armenian lands, then him and his fascists along with the US and their buddies Israelites didn't let Serzh to accept the Genocide recognition and wanted to have the historians look into it, then they had the "tsavali" disgusting "road map" signed only two days before April 24, our Genocide commemoration day so that the whole world would forget about it, our cause, our lands and all our rights.

    Now this; I don't know how to trust anything coming from the turks until I see all our rights given to us, meaning the following:

    1. The Sevres Treaty's Wilson Arbitration accepted and Wilsonian Armenian lands given back to the rightful descendents of the 2,100,000 Armenians who were parished from our anscestral lands.

    2. Our Nagorno-Karapakh (Artsakh) lands accepted by the OSCE Minsk Group.

    Then we can talk!
