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.

  • Ara Gevorkyan: "Adana" song

    Has anyone heard Ara Gevorkyan's song "Adana", I believe it was written for, and performed on April 24, at Tsitsernakabert Genocide Memorial - Yerevan.

    I downloaded it last night at: http://hayastan.com/music/
    then select "Ara Gevorkyan", and choose the bottom file, press play or download it by right clicking and clicking "Save Target As".

    It is a very powerful Genocide song. The narrator in the song was great also except for pronouncing Genocide - "Jeen-ocide".

    Anyway, its beautiful so listen to it and enjoy. Let me know what you think about it.

I made it to the end of the song, but I just can't understand some of the words / lines. Anyone want to help me finish it? if so let me know and I'll send you the file via PM. Then we'll post the final product in this thread

          I just listen to it now, finally managed to play it...

          It's totally English. And it's not the one I was refering to, I haven't heard this one... I don't know why they call it Adana song, the only Adana song I know is "Godoradzn ankoot"

          I don't know if you have heard it, it goes like this:

          Godoradzn ankoot Hayer@ Togh lan
          Anabad tarsav shkegh Adanan
          Gragn u soor@, yev ankheghg talan
          Rubesniants dun@ akh @rin veran.

          Have you heard that song ?
          Anyway, I still can try to help, although my english isn't perfect, but I can try.

          P.S. I tried to save it to my computer, as you said through "Save target as" but it didn't work, I need to be connected to the internet everytime i want to listen to it

            Yes I also have the version you have. But this one is more recent and was played at Tsitsernakabert on the 90th anniversary of the Genocide.

            Here is what I have so far:

            Originally posted by Adana, Daniel Decker

            In the city of Adana,
            During the darkest days of the Ottoman Empire,
            There was a tragedy that marked the start,
            of what was to become known as the Armenian Genocide.

            The people of Armenia were forced into starvation, torture and extermination,
            Armenian homes were burnt to the ground,
            Men, Women and Children were killed.
            Sometimes entire families were wiped out.

            They were accused, convicted and sentenced to die,
            Because they dared to call themselves “Christians”,
            Their crime was in believing in a God who sent his son Jesus Christ, to die for their sins,
            By 1915 One-and-a-half-million Armenians were ruthlessly slaughtered,
            Because they would not renounce their faith in Christ.

            Unpunished and undeterred those responsible for the massacre in Adana,
            Set the stage for the terrible Genocide of the Armenian people,
            This is their story…

            From the morning sun,
            Till the day was done,
            Fathers worked until their strength was gone.

            In the summer air,
            Under mothers care,
            Children played within the village square.

            Through the soil and sand,
            Farmers worked the land,
            Gathering what they grew by their own hand.

            Living day by day,
            Trying to make their way,
            Unaware the price they would soon pay.

            Keepers of the ????
            Marching on the ?????
            Striking down the weak without a single word.

            Ruthlessly they came,
            With one deadly aim –
            Kill all who believe in Jesus’ name.

            In the shroud of night,
            Families took their plight????
            Unprotected by ???

            Hungry and alone,
            Starved to skin and bone,
            Forced to sleep on pillows made of stone.

            Wandering in the rain,
            Trembling on the plain,
            Christ ?to? mercy offered up in vain.

            Naked and afraid,
            On their knees they prayed,
            As they knelt before the warriors blade – Singing…

            … To the great I am,
            ??? is the lamb,
            Who??? upon????bounty???

            Holy is the one,
            Gods own mighty son,???
            Glory to the Christ our risen king.

            Though persecuted, they were not abandoned,
            As they laid down their earthly lives,
            They would gain eternity with Christ.

            Though the world may forget,
            God would remember their suffering,
            Never again would they hunger or thirst.
            For the Son of God, Jesus Christ who died and rose again would be their Shepard,
            Who would lead them to streams of living water,
            and God would wipe away every tear from their eyes.

            They would encircle the throne of God,
            Singing, “To the Great I am, worthy is the lamb, who was and is, and is to come.”

            To the Great I am
            Worthy is the Lamb
            Who was and Is, and Is to come.

            Holy is the one,
            God’s own mighty son,???
            Glory to our Christ the risen King

            To the Great I am
            Worthy is the Lamb
            Who was and Is, and Is to come.

            Holy is the one,
            God’s own mighty son,???
            Glory to the Christ our risen King.

Should work, I just tried it.
              Thank You , Thank You , Thank You
              So happy that it worked LOOL
