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.

    Australian Video Footage of Armenian Genocide Refugees Unearthed




    Australian Video Footage of Armenian Genocide Refugees Unearthed

    MEDIA RELEASE June 19, 2009

    SYDNEY: Research conducted by the Australian Institute for Holocaust and Genocide Studies has just unearthed video footage from 1919, featuring Armenian Genocide refugees in Sydney.

    The newly-discovered film will be shown at a public screening for the first time as a preview to the ANC Australia's screening of movie 'My Son Shall Be Armenian'. Click here for event details.

    The 'moving picture', which runs for a full five minutes, shows a group of refugees from the Armenian Genocide dressed in traditional Armenian dress outside Sydney Town Hall, holding plaques with supporters to raise awareness of the plight of the Ottoman Empire Armenians.

    Mr. Vicken Babkenian, lead researcher at the Australian Institute for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, uncovered the material.

    He said: "The discovery of this material is a monumental achievement."

    "This evidence, in a new medium, graphically demonstrates the widespread support Australians provided to victims and survivors of the Armenian Genocide through the Armenian Relief Fund of Australia."

    The film, now kept with the Australian Institute for Holocaust and Genocide Studies, will be used in research for the purposes of education, and public and political awareness.

    Armenian National Committee of Austalia President, Mr. Varant Meguerditchian said: "The video footage adds to the now-overwhelming documentary evidence found in Australia, affirming the historical truth of the Armenian Genocide and forging forever the common history of Armenia and Australia."

    He added: "In light of this video evidence, it is now imperative that Australia formally recognises the Armenian Genocide and the role everyday Australians played in assisting the victims and survivors."
