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.

          Armenia and Turkey normalise ties

          Venue Armenia-Turkey ceremony in Zurich, 10-10-09
          The stage where the accord was to be signed remained empty for hours

          Turkey and Armenia have signed a historic accord normalising relations after a century of hostility.

          The deal was signed by the two foreign ministers after last-minute problems delayed the ceremony in Switzerland.

          Under the agreement, Turkey and Armenia are to resume diplomatic ties and re-open their shared border.

          The accord has been met by protests in Armenia, where many people say it does not fully address the 1915 killing of hundreds of thousands of Armenians.

          Armenia wants Turkey to recognise the killings as an act of genocide, but successive Turkish governments have refused to do so.

          The agreement calls for a joint commission of independent historians to study the genocide issue.


          Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu and his Armenian counterpart, Edward Nalbandian, signed the protocols in Switzerland after a delay of more than two hours.

          The BBC's Kim Ghattas in Zurich says the Armenians had apparently raised objections to a statement due to be read out by the Turkish delegation.

          The accord needs to be ratified by the parliaments of both countries.

          The ceremony was attended by US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and the EU's High Representative for the Common Foreign and Security Policy, Javier Solana.

          International campaign

          "The international recognition of the Armenian genocide will be hindered by this signature, or ratification," said Vahan Hovanissyan, a member of parliament for the nationalist Dashnak Tsutyun party.

          One protester told the BBC he was not opposed to the opening of the border, but was "against the setting up of a commission that will allow Turkey to further postpone declaring the killings as genocide".

          Hundreds of thousands of Armenians died in 1915, when they were deported en masse from eastern Anatolia by the Ottoman empire. They were killed by troops or died from starvation and disease.

          Armenians have campaigned for the killings to be recognised internationally as genocide - and more than 20 countries have done so.

          Turkey admits that many Armenians were killed but says the deaths were part of the widespread fighting that took place in World War I.

          A roadmap for normalising relations between Turkey and Armenia was agreed in April.

          Turkey closed its border with Armenia in 1993 because of its war with Azerbaijan over the disputed region of Nagorno Karabakh.

            They will. If not, how do you think Yerevan would explain this to the international society after already signing it?

            What you want is exactly the same as Treaty of Sevres. Ottomans never ratified it. LOL, when it comes to their 'own' interest, people can easily turn 180 degrees.

              Lavrov made a disgustful appearance when Nalbandyan was kissing him.

              That’s more than natural.

                I don't care about sevres i don't go touting it around, but sevres or not, the republic of armenia was larger than it is today and we still have rights to lands that were ours in the first republic



                what's in the orange/peach color was ours without sevres


                Anyways i'm sure the majority of actual Turkish citizens disprove of opening the borders too, protocols or not, Armenians weren't the only ones against this

                    He was forced to sign and we recognize it till we have the power to take back what is ours. We need to work together to strengthen our nation and people and weaken our enemy.

                      A horrible OWN GOAL

                      We had Severs and now they have this, even if paliament does not ratify it.

                      Heads should roll big time if we have any responsibilty within our own government.

                      If no heads roll I am afraid worse things will follow.

                      A sad day.
                      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
