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 to decide on multibillion deal after April 24
    16:58, 17.02.2015

    Turkey will decide on a winner of multibillion dollar contract for the construction of its anti-missile defense system after April 24 – the day when Armenians will mark Centennial of the Armenian Genocide.

    “A decision before April 24 is out of question,” Hurriyet Daily News quotes a source.

    Ankara will attentively follow French and U.S. positions on the centennial events in order to make the decision.

    The main contenders for a big deal are CPMIEC and Eurosam.

    A defense industry source said he expected tough rivalry between French and U.S. contenders in the second half of 2015. “Both of them are surely aware that how their governments tackle the centennial will be critical for success or failure,” he said.

    Ankara will attentively follow French and U.S. positions on the centennial events...

      I was at a screening of the Orphans of the Armenian Genocide today and it was a very impressive documentary film. It told the story of the Armenian orphans who were left in the shadows of the genocide and discusses their fate along with personal stories of survivors. The film itself was impressive despite the low budget that made it possible. Besides being very educational it was also a very emotional experience. The film itself was impressive enough but what really impressed me was some of the questions that were asked by some of the audience along with the humble nature of the man who made the film and took the time to answer all the questions. This filmmaker is working on another documentary about the women of the genocide and I will not miss that one when it is ready. The Orphans of the Armenian Genocide is in some theaters and is due to be shown on many PBS stations so you can check out your PBS station to see when it will be on.

Hopefully now, some other world leaders can show some dignity like the French and be in Armenia on the day.

            That is good news !
            The prince (lol) and his queen mum seemed to have jumped on the turc scam a bit early , roaring laughter.
            To curry favor with the butcher hominoids (turc), the English throne seems to have jumped at the chance to watch the turc celebrate Gallipoli under the guise of a commemorative .
            So does this mean mum & boy are not going ?
            Really good news !!

              ---- morality vs lucrative military contract ----
              The lack of a morale spine by the us/euro is appalling.
              Take the money and throw your integrity in the gutter. That's what the us/euro are doing.

                About time!
                GERMAN WRITER TO PUBLISH BOOK ABOUT GERMANY'S ROLE IN ARMENIAN GENOCIDE

                February 24, 2015

                Jurgen Gottschlich, a foreign correspondent for German newspaper Die
                Tageszeitung in Istanbul, will soon publish the "Genocide complicity:
                Germany's role in the Armenian Genocide" book, News.am reports citing
                Nouvelles d'Armenie.

                100 years after the atrocities committed against the Armenians
                Gottschield accuses Germany of its involvement in the genocide.

                According to him, German officers and diplomats were well aware
                of Armenians' massacres and deportations in Ottoman Turkey. The
                journalist criticizes Germany for not even referring to its role in
                the Armenian slaughter.

                Gottschield visited and interviewed the survivors' descendants,
                as well as studied the German and Turkish archives.

                As a result, the documentary historical book appeared that
                multilaterally examines Germany's participation in the Armenian
                Genocide, as well as the controversy concerning this issue.

                  TURKEY PAYS $1 MILLION TO EGYPT FOR ERASING ARMENIAN GENOCIDE TRACES

                  00:04, 24.02.2015

                  The Turkish authorities had paid $1 million to the Muslim Brotherhood
                  of Egypt for the eradication of the documents in the country, and
                  which attest to the Armenian Genocide.

                  At the Egyptian Cabinet meeting, Democratic Jihad Party Founder
                  Sheikh Nabil Na'eem stated that Turkey had given over $1 million to
                  Egypt to destroy the documents pertaining to the Armenian Genocide,
                  Demokrathaber website of Turkey reported citing the Veto newspaper
                  of Egypt. He also accused several Muslim Brotherhood members of
                  eradicating these documents.

                  The Egyptian newspaper noted that the Armenian Genocide-related
                  documents, which the Muslim Brotherhood had burned, would have put
                  Turkey in a difficult situation at international courts.

                  Nabil Na'eem also insisted that Egypt should punish Turkey for the
                  riddance of these documents.

                  Democratic Jihad Party Founder Sheikh Nabil Na’eem insisted that Egypt should punish Turkey for the riddance of these documents…

                    TURKS MOVE SULEYMAN SHAH MAUSOLEUM TO ARMENIANS' "DEATH" PATH

                    15:49, 26.02.2015

                    A new detail has come to light with respect to the Turkish army's
                    recent relocation of the tomb of Suleyman Shah in Syria.

                    The Turkish armed forces, together with the local Kurdish militants,
                    have transferred the remains of Suleyman Shah--the forebear of Osman I,
                    the founder of the Ottoman Empire--to the Eshme region on the Turkish
                    border, reported Agos Armenian bilingual weekly of Istanbul.

                    It was found out, however, that the place where the Turks have begun
                    building a new mausoleum for Suleyman Shah had been on the "death"
                    path of the Armenians in 1915; that is, it was through this area that
                    hundreds of thousands of Armenians were taken to their death in the
                    deserts of Deir ez-Zor.

                    It was through this area that hundreds of thousands of Armenians were taken to their death in the deserts of Deir ez-Zor…

                      ArmInfo's Survey: Belarus and France will be represented at highest level at events timed to Armenian Genocide Centennial



                      Most of the countries invited to the Armenian Genocide Centennial events in Yerevan have not yet responded to the invitation for not having made up their delegations to Yerevan.

                      Talking to ArmInfo, Ambassadors of Switzerland, Georgia, Iran, Ukraine, Romania, Bulgaria, Japan, and Germany said Yerevan's invitation is still considered by the foreign ministries of their countries to determine the composition of delegations. Nevertheless, all the diplomats assured ArmInfo that their countries will send official representatives to the events timed to the Armenian Genocide Centennial.

                      Head of the EU Delegation to Armenia Traian Hristea told ArmInfo, the EU has not made up its delegation to the Genocide Centennial events in Yerevan. Meanwhile, Head of the OSCE Office in Yerevan Andrey Sorokin said the delegation to Yerevan will be headed by Ilkka Kanerva, President of the OSCE Parliamentary Assembly. The decision may be changed and the OSCE may be represented at the above events at a higher level.

                      Belarus has already made up its delegation. Talking to ArmInfo, Ambassador Stepan Sukhorenko said the president of Belarus will attend the events timed to the Armenian Genocide Centennial. France will also be represented at the highest level.

                      Russian Ambassador to Armenia Ivan Volynkin said Moscow has already made up its delegation. The diplomat did not reveal the composition of the Russian delegation, saying the country will be represented at an adequate level.

                      The survey revealed that some countries will not send any delegations to Turkey - the country is going to celebrate the centennial of the victory in the Gallipoli Battle on the same day - April 24. Others will send their delegations for political reasons. The diplomats say the centennials of the Armenian Genocide and the Gallipoli Battle are morally incomparable events.

                      To recall, UK, Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan have already accepted Turkey's invitation to the Gallipoli event and will be represented at the highest level. Queen Elizabeth II and Prince Charles will attend the event.
                      Politics is not about the pursuit of morality nor what's right or wrong
                      Its about self interest at personal and national level often at odds with the above.
                      Great politicians pursue the National interest and small politicians personal interests
