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.

    Sorry Alexandros, but this is nonsense. Turkey has obviously many problems. And definitely should solve them.
    But it does not mean she can not criticize other countries' actions. If we give the right to talk only to the "innocent" countries, then the world would become silent.

      Here`s the problem though:

      Was it correct by Turkey to accuse China for genocide against the Uyghurs during the troubles in the Chinish province Xinjiang for not so long time ago considering that Turkey herself hasn`t recognize the genocide against the Anatolian christians?

      Was or is it correct by Turkey to criticize Greece or other (European) countries for human rights violations when Turkey is the worst human rights offender in Europe in 2008?

      Conclusion: You want your country to criticize other countries?Fine.The problem is that considering that Turkey is the worst human rights offender in Europe in 2008 nobody will take Turkey seriously.And you know what: it will only make Turkey look more hypocritical.So yeah - go ahead and criticize then!

        It's in Turkish, but you'll find a list in the fourth page.
        And how many Turkish Non-Muslim or Turkish-Greek MPs has there been after 1964?Does the pogrom 1955 and the expulsion of the remaining Greeks in 1963 ring a bell?I think you`re missing egeli`s point.

        But this does not mean we should stay quiet when there is injustice towards Turkey.
        And what injustice will that be?The occupation of the northern part of Cyprus.Oh wait, that was just a "peace operation".

          What I say is if there are human rights problems in EU or China or Turkey, no matter who points out this fact, there are still problems to be solved and they should be solved!

          You can't say, "Oh no, we don't care about the human rights violations in OUR country, because as a country, YOU have much worse cases than we do."

          Your argument, "first, you solve your own problems", is just an excuse for status-quo lovers to keep everything the same. And it's applied heavily in Turkey.

            What I meant by injustice is telling lies about Turkey such as she never had any non-muslim MPs after the foundation of republic. It's not a secret that the members of this forum are no Turkey lovers, and when you make such a statement (Turkey had no non-muslim MP in 80 years), nobody will question it and everybody will form wrong ideas.

            As for discussing after 1963 period, this is ad hominem. egeli was proven to be wrong, now you want to change the subject.

              No, obviously you didn`t read my post(s) in this thread.Since Turkey wants to join the EU and must fulfill the EU requirements which means improving human rights for example - which Turkey has started to do and should be commended for but there`s still a long way to go - it makes Turkey look silly or not to mention hypocritical considering Turkey`s history of human rights violations.

              And as I said and I will repeat it again: Turkey is the worst human rights offender in Europe in 2008.Wouldn`t it been better to focus on their own problems instead of criticizing other countries for human rights violations which will only make Turkey look even more hypocritical?

              Let`s see if you will understand it this time.

                So answer my question then:

                And how many Turkish Non-Muslim or Turkish-Greek MPs has there been after 1964?

                    Look how quiet you became.You couldn`t even answer a simple question.

                    And remember, it was you who attacked me in this thread.

                    You want respect, good, then you have to show respect to others too.

                    It takes two to dance tango...

                      I am not 'Turkey' and I can ask anything I want.

                      Alexandros;

                      So basicly you say Turks in Greece deserve to suffer before Greeks in Turkey also suffer?

                      How could you 'have' the right to talk about Turkish Greeks (the school, 1950 events etc) but Ankara can not about Turks in Greece?

                      This is nonsense. Whatever happens to Muslims in Greece is the problem of Turkey and all other countries. And when China starts to kill innocent Uyghurs, it is a problem of mine. As like problems of Armenians in Turkey is also the problem of Armenia.
