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.

    Re: turks declare "war" with israel .. about time

    In any scenario, Turkey will always come up with an excuse for herself.
    The republic of Turkey has been making excuses since it became a republic.
    This is nothing new and it it is far from interesting.
    Yup but this time Turkey will be right If AG accepted. anyway, It is your problem to force AG or not.

    By the way, zionist state? Turkey? so you think armenians were only minority who suffered.

      Right about what? That the unholy Jew sanctioned it so therefore, the Armenian Genocide lie.

      ...I guess this is logical deduction in the Turkish mind.

        No recognision of AG is political(Infact, Turkey is always right about this issue maybe except canada.)

        It is not important If xxxs accept it or not. Important thing is why do they accept it. Anyway, I still do not think, AG will be recognized by USA.

          After Davos Clash, Obama's Envoy Skirts Turkey on Regional Tour BY ALLEN YEKIKAN

          Published: Friday January 30, 2009



          ANKARA (Combined Sources)--President Barack Obama's Special Envoy to the Middle East has postponed a planned visit to Turkey, citing 'severe technical reasons' for bypassing the key NATO country along his regional tour.

          "The way the schedule was very tight, we have tried very hard to make a trip to Turkey fit in, and it just could not for technical reasons," US Embassy Spokesperson Kathryn Schalow told the Anatolian News Agency Friday.

          As part of his Middle East tour, Mitchell visited several countries including Egypt, Israel, Jordan and Saudi Arabia and West Bank.

          The news comes a day after Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan verbally sparred with Israeli President Shimon Peres at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, blasting his Israeli counterpart with a lengthy condemnation of Israel's human rights violations in the Gaza Strip. It also follows months of diplomatic posturing vis-a-vis the United States as Turkish officials have consistently been trying to pressure the new US administration on the Armenian issue, warning that its recognition of the Armenian Genocide will be met with negative consequences by an angered Turkey.

          Turkey has been posturing for a more influential role in the geopolitics of the Middle East and it's near abroad, working to mediate in Gaza, while also trying to establish a foothold in the Caucasus and Central Asia.

          To advance its image among the Arab Middle East, Turkey has harshly criticized Israel over its Gaza operation which left more than 1,300 people killed. Regular criticisms by Turkey's Prime Minister have strained relations between Turkey and Israel, two countries who have close diplomatic and military ties, including a history of working together to lobby the US government not to recognize the Genocide.

          The influential American xxxish Committee slammed Erdogan on Friday for his remarks, saying his behavior was "a public disgrace that may well encourage further outrages against Israel and xxxs."

          Earlier, on January 23, five major xxxish organizations called on the Turkish prime minister to "urgently address" the wave of anti-Semitism in his country, warning that Turkey's recent condemnation of Israel will make it difficult to continue supporting Turkey's attempts to prevent US recognition of the Armenian Genocide in the US congress.

          While some analysts predict that Turkey may have torpedoed its strategic alliance with Israel and burned its bridges with its allies in the xxxish lobby, others see Turkey's geopolitical position as having actually benefited from its harsh criticism of Israel.

          “Turkey's international profile has risen as a result of Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan's criticism of Israel in the wake of the conflict in Gaza,” said Stratfor a Texas based Private Intelligence agency. “Erdogan and the ruling Justice and Development Party are making use of the Gaza crisis to further their goals of reasserting Turkey's leadership of the Arab Middle East, and of the wider Muslim world.”

          According to Stratfor, Erdogan is “gaining tremendous respect and appreciation” in the Arab world for his recent condemnations of Israel, especially “at a time when the Arab masses perceive their leaders as either actively supporting Israel or at least doing nothing to stop it.”

          Erdogan seems to have benefited domestically as well, arriving in Turkey Friday to a hero's welcome from thousands of Turks gathered at Istanbul's Atatruk Airport. Live television footage showed crowds waving Palestinian and Turkish flags at the airport while chanting slogans supporting the prime minister. Banners proclaimed Mr. Erdogan the “delegate of the oppressed” and said: “Let the world see a proper prime minister.” The passions reflected widespread anger about the Gaza war in Turkey, a secular nation whose population is mostly Muslim.

          “I only know that I'm responsible for protecting the honor of the Turkish Republic, the Turkish nation from A to Z,” Mr. Erdogan said as he returned to Istanbul in the early hours of Friday. “I am not a leader of a tribe. I am the prime minister of the Republic of Turkey. I do whatever I need to, so I did it, and will continue to do so. This is my character. This is my identity.”

          Meanwhile, Israel's President was quick to nip any speculation Friday that Turkish-Israeli relations had tanked, saying that Turkey is an ally and that the public argument with Erdogan at the World Economic Forum will neither affect the relationship between Israel and Turkey nor between Peres and Erdogan, The Associated Press reported.

          Turkey occupies some of the most valuable real estate on the planet, according to Stratfor. “It sits astride the land routes connecting Europe, the former Soviet Union and the Middle East--not to mention the straits connecting the Black Sea and the Mediterranean,” a January 30 report by the intelligence agency said. “It is the only country in the world that is positioned to project influence readily into all of these regions.”

          “Any time in human history that the Anatolian Peninsula has not been a leading force in geopolitics has been an aberration,” it said. “And although the direction of its movement remains up for debate, Turkey--after more than 90 years of quiescence--is moving again.”

                Erdogan urges world to recognize Hamas

                PRESS TV
                Sun, 01 Feb 2009 09:24:15 GMT


                Turkey's Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called for recognition
                of Hamas which won a landslide victory in Palestinian elections.

                In an interview with The Washington Post published Saturday, Recep
                Tayyip Erdogan said isolating Hamas is the reason for the ongoing
                tensions in the region.

                He criticized world leaders for failing to respect the political will
                of the Palestinian people who voted for the Palestinian resistance
                movement.

                Erdogan said Hamas would have been in a different situation if the
                world had given it a chance in politics after winning elections.

                The Turkish prime minister said Hamas would not be able to change the
                situation as long as Palestine was "an open air prison".

                Hamas won the 2006 Parliamentary elections with 74 of the 132 available
                seats. The rival ruling Fatah faction got only 45 seats.

                Western-backed Acting Palestinian Authority Chief Mahmoud Abbas of
                Fatah however fired Hamas Prime Minister Ismail Haniya's unity
                government in June 2007.

                Erdogan's remarks came after his recent public spat with Israel's
                President Shimon Peres, over the Israeli massacre in the Gaza Strip, in
                the world economic forum meeting on Thursday.

                On Thursday, Erdogan stormed out of the world economic forum in Davos,
                Switzerland after a heated debate with Shimon Peres on Gaza.

                Erdogan told Peres in the Forum, "Mr. Peres, you are a senior citizen
                and you speak in a loud voice. I feel that your raised voice is due to
                the guilt you feel.

                "But be sure that my voice will not be raised as yours,"

                "When it comes to killing, you know very well how to kill."

                "I know very well how you hit and killed children on beaches."

                Erdogan walked off in front of UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and
                other panel members complaining that his comments on the conflict were
                cut short by the Washington Post's moderator David Ignatius.

                  This is a lose/lose situation.

                      Armenia’s Israeli friends re-elected to Knesset

                      by Emil Sanamyan


                      Published: Thursday February 19, 2009

                      Co-chair of the Israel-Armenia parliamentary friendship group, Ze’ev Elkin, campaigning with Benjamin Netanyahu in Dec. 2008. netanyahu.org

                      Washington, - Following general elections on February 10, the Israeli political scene remains deadlocked, with no one party or bloc enjoying a majority in the nation's Knesset.

                      Media reports suggest that former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu of the right-of-center Likud party is most likely to lead the next government, which might also include his main rival, outgoing foreign minister Tsipi Livni of the centrist Kadima party. On February 19 Mr. Netanyahu won the support of two right-wing parties that won the third and fifth largest shares of seats in the parliament.

                      Among those re-elected is co-chair of the Israel-Armenia parliamentary friendship group, Ze'ev Elkin, now with Likud. Mr. Elkin was elected to the Knesset in 2006 on the Kadima list, but left the party over its support for a Palestinian state. Last year, Mr. Elkin sought to raise the long-taboo subject of the Armenian Genocide in the Knesset. (See an interview with him in the April 12, 2008, issue of the Armenian Reporter.)

                      Also re-elected was Chaim Oron, veteran politician and leader of a small leftist Meretz party, who has long championed Armenian Genocide affirmation efforts.

                      Among those not re-elected was Yosef Shagal, a lobbyist for Azerbaijan who, following several public embarrassments, was dropped from the list of the Yisrael Beitenu party of Avigdor Lieberman.
