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.

    Armenians don't have a problem with it. It is God’s house and everyone who comes in peace is welcome. God does not teach or condone hatred, he is a loving and peaceful God.

    I have read that the Turkish government has sent letters to the churches saying that they are violating the law by allowing Muslims to enter. Try it and let us know.

    Armenians pretty much are the same whether they are in Armenia, Turkey or Diaspora. Some people think it is the Diaspora Armenians that are a problem, this is very untrue. We do not hate good Turks, only fascists.

    By the way, as far as visiting ancient Armenian Churches in Turkey, you might want to hurry up and visit them as the Turkish government has been systematically destroying them one by one.
    Of course Hrant Dink's murder is horrible in every aspect.It is not only horrible humanically but also it was a great blow for already-terrible Armenian-Turkish relations.I believe he was a model for Armenians and Turks.

    As for churches,I meant the ones in use,not the ancient ones.

    yeah, or they are turning them into mosques... But it's good to know that you are actually interested in visiting them...

    I do not see a group of people that put another nation to the center of their lifes before. It is not only absurd but also miserable. When you insult Turks at your every posts you also proove this Turcocentrism every time.

    I just wanted to "chat" about some issues, critisize both Turkey and diaspora and make a mature dialogue. But I thing that I am at the wrong place. Anyway, have a nice weekend all!!!
    Whatever, Mahir Jr.

You try your best to become a mature person but you are still at the same league with Siamanto, Shkara and others. No need to waste more time with you. Actually I do not want to continue anything with you, it is just wasting time. So please no not provoke me by your insults and lets finish the dialogue here. Ok? Have a nice day...
    I wasn't insulting you! I was just telling everyone to stop insulting everyone else! I am not being immature, I just want to try to figure out a solution!

Regardless of all idiotic nationalistic behaviours of Turkish government on Armenian case, one of the most important fact that make this problem unsolved is this behaviour of diasporans towards Turks (or lets sat "Turk" notion)
    We protest and struggle on the oppressions of Turkish government on all minorities including Armenians, but it is not easy when diaspora terrorise everything about Turks-Armenians discussions. This is not about the genocide discussion and one hatred doesnt justify other hatred and make everything worse.

    Actually I was talking about the Armenians in Armenia and their behaviour towards Turkish people living in Armenia
    I don't know why you dramatize everything...

    I don't think it's necessary to talk about the behaviour of the Armenian people toward Turks.
