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.

      Not the minuscule number of turcs who recognize that genocide was committed .
      But rather the vast majority who will (and do ) condone the rapes and murders and abductions and tortures .

        HOW SHOULD KURDS ADDRESS ARMENIAN GENOCIDE?

        Rudaw, Kurdish paper
        May 6 2015

        By KANI XULAM yesterday at 03:35

        Most people of conscience feel a frightful crime of unspeakable
        brutality was executed against more than a million Armenians when
        they were horrifically slaughtered by the old Turkish Ottoman Empire
        beginning especially in 1915.

        We weren't around then, of course, but some of our ancestors--it pains
        me to admit--unfortunately embraced the Turkish butchering orders,
        and helped themselves to the bountiful spoils.

        In fairness, some Kurds (I wish there were many) refused to attack
        the helpless Armenians--and other brave souls rescued them (alas,
        not that many) from certain death.

        But because many more did embrace the cold-blooded criminality, it is
        encouraging to see some Kurdish leaders acknowledge our tarnished role.

        "Without hesitation, I recognize the Armenian genocide," declared
        Selahattin Demirtas, co-chair of the Peoples' Democratic Party,
        on April 24, the hundredth anniversary of that hideous holocaust.

        But is that enough?

        Do the Armenians even hear us?

        Many probably don't.

        They want the Turks--the real criminal culprits in the matter--to do
        the apologizing, not the Kurds, who were merely secondary players.

        Like the xxxs of World War II, Armenians feel wronged, and want
        the Turks to step forward and apologize to Armenians the way German
        Chancellor Willie Brandt did to xxxs and Poles for Nazi atrocities.

        In 1970, the German leader visited the Monument to the Ghetto Heroes in
        Warsaw and solemnly sank to his knees in a moving gesture of atonement.

        The inspiring photo showed the world how to apologize for genocide.

        It vividly memorialized: "One picture is worth a thousand words."

        Asked why he did so, Chancellor Brandt answered:

        "Under the weight of recent history, I did what people do when words
        fail them. In this way I commemorated millions of murdered people."

        Armenians are still waiting for a similar act from the stubborn Turks.

        But, sadly, there is no sign of a Turkish version of Willie Brandt
        in Ankara.

        Perhaps Turks don't do remorse.

        Maybe they need help in how to show humility, not just in Eastern
        Europe, where they were defeated by the Russians, but also in Eastern
        Anatolia, where they not only exterminated unarmed Armenian men and
        then gleefully helped themselves to their women, but also told us it
        was our "religious duty--jihad" to do the same.

        Germans, executors of the xxxish Holocaust, have the experience to help
        them, but--if they decline-- I have a man warming up in the bullpen:
        Ben Affleck.

        The Hollywood superstar and Turks are not paired often, but maybe
        they should be, given their recent coverage.

        Mr. Affleck found himself in a pickle, just as Turks have found
        themselves for the past 100 years.

        He had agreed to be interviewed by the producer of "Finding Your
        Roots" with Henry Louis Gates Jr., only to discover that he had a
        slave-owning ancestor on his mother side!

        Mr. Affleck urged the producer to ignore that part of his past,
        which he did.

        Like the Turks, Mr. Affleck tried to rearrange history, but the past
        "is never dead," as William Faulkner shrewdly observed. "It's not
        even past."

        When details leaked out about his ancestor's slave-owning history--and
        the attempt to hide it--Mr. Affleck promptly apologized for the lapse
        in judgment.

        Now that he is fully liberated, he should help the 50 million or so
        folks who call themselves Turks to also sip from the cup of truth.

        The actor could perhaps make a movie about the founder of Turkey,
        Mustafa Kemal Ataturk.

        The Turkish leader did not bloody his own hands in the genocide of
        Armenians, but he didn't mind benefitting from it.

        And when he built a presidential palace in Ankara, he didn't hesitate
        to erect it on the confiscated estate of an Armenian family.

        But what he did to confiscated Armenian lands in places like Elazig,
        Diyarbakir, Mardin, Mus, Bitlis and Van, just to name a few, has a
        Kurdish angle to it.

        He promised to give Kurds living there the Armenian lands--provided
        they helped him defeat the Greeks in his war of independence for the
        "Muslims," which included the Kurds.

        Some Kurds sided with him, and he won his war.

        But he spat on his promise--and his faithful Kurdish allies.

        The Armenians were exterminated, for "inwardly" siding with the
        Christian Russians.

        The Kurds, though Muslims, were now declared "savages" who must be
        "civilized"--meaning Turkified--whether they liked it or not.

        Nine decades later, the Turkish-Kurdish hostility is as fresh as when
        it was reignited by the founder of "Modern" Turkey.

        A documentary covering these issues with Mr. Affleck's voiceover
        might, just might, instill some sanity into the debate of
        who-did-what-to-whom.

        The Kurds would also benefit from it.

        For example, in today's Turkey, 2,900 Armenian settlements have
        Turkish names, but are inhabited primarily by Kurds.

        If Turks decide to adopt decolonization as a policy, the Kurds,
        if honest with themselves, should restore the Armenian names to
        these settlements.

        A free Kurdistan should also pay reparations to Armenia, as Germans
        are paying to the state of Israel.

        That would be an astonishing, highly commendable first!

        Doing something so down-to-earth humane, something so unexpectedly
        civilized, would be so totally opposite to the uncivilized brutality
        heretofore shown by the Islamic State that it would turn the world
        on its ear, and proclaim: "Look what these Kurds are doing!"

        Here would be a Muslim Kurdistan showing lofty charity to a Christian
        nation!

        If Kurds did such an amazing thing, Armenians would surely accept our
        contrition as genuine--and the world would sit up and take notice too!

            .
            I agree with Londontsi's assessment . A small fraction of total population that does --- NOT --- represent the base population , is being looked upon by the world as if the Kurds as a whole have spoken . That's fraudulent . Also that's exactly what the turcs are doing by letting (tolerating) a small percentage of the turcs to go against * national policy *.
            If one reads the article closely , many just (justice) things are said . However , like the incideous turc ploys to placate the victims of these crimes with a "sugar coating" , so this Kurd article does .
            ---- 2,900 Armenian settlements have turc names (but) are inhabited by Kurds ----
            What is the Kurdish authors solution ??? As stated , change the names to Armenian names !!!
            Problem addressed , vola . The Kurd author did not suggest that the Kurds should return the lands , but rather they get to keep the --- STOLEN --- properties ???? Wow !!! Good idea Kurd , mission accomplished .
            So , their (Kurd) idea is to have a free Kurdistan on Armenian lands ??? Great idea Kurd.
            Both the mayors of Van & Diarbakar have expressed their willingness to (let) Armenians return to these areas and live in brotherly ness . --- WOW ---. That's gotta be an Armenian dream . We could come back to the *** completelt*** devestated communities (and) have a Kurdish mayor and Kurdish neibors . We could live right next door to an Armenian house with Kurds living in it . But of course we shouldn't ask how a Kurd could be living in an Armenian dwelling .
            Lots of problems with the article , dispite some very good points.
            I agree with Londontsi .

                      The Kurds are under US and Turkey's control. Northern Iraq has become Kurdistan.....even Erdogan visited there and asked for a Turkish embassy.
                      I don't see Kurds as friends but maybe one day we can use them against Turkey.
                      Empty apology its been their model these goat runners who never had a state in history.

                      As far as PKK I have said before.

                      Ocalan control PKK.....Ergenekon control Ocalan.
