- personal attacks
- obscene

You also may not:
- post images that are too large (max is 500*500px)

- post in UPPER CASE, which is considered yelling
- post messages which insult the Armenians, Armenian culture, traditions, etc

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.

    And there have been periods when Arab Israelis have been treated as the enemy – during the state’s early years of martial law, and when they protested Israel’s assault on Hamas in Gaza at the end of 2008."

      ISRAEL'S INITIATIVE TO VOICE ABOUT ARMENIAN GENOCIDE SUSPENDED

      Panorama.am
      17/06/2010

      After famous aid flotilla events when Turkey set campaign against
      Israel demanding tough sanctions against their government, Israel
      prepared another campaign to send aid flotilla to the island of Cyprus
      occupied by Turkey and to send a student group to Turkey which would
      raise the problem of Armenian Genocide and Kurds' grieves.

      Turkish Zaman reported Israel's Government decided to suspend their
      initiative since the world is busy with oil leak in Gulf and World
      Football Cup. They thought the talks over Mavi Marmara have been
      veiled and aid flotilla to Cyprus and student group over Armenian
      Genocide to Turkey would imply another rebirth.

          JERUSALEM — Bowing to worldwide pressure and condemnation, Israel on Sunday formally announced an eased blockade of Gaza that could significantly expand the flow of goods overland into the impoverished coastal Palestinian enclave, isolated by the Israelis for three years.

            US Warns Israel on Jerusalem Housing Demolition

            The United States warned Israel on Monday that a plan by officials in Jerusalem to demolish Palestinian housing to make way for a tourist center risks violence and could upset peace efforts. The comments came as U.S. officials welcomed Israeli plans to ease the blockade of the Hamas-ruled Gaza Strip.

              Obama sets meetings with Saudi, Israeli leaders

              WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama's latest White House meeting with Israel's prime minister is set for July 6 — more than a month after their last one was scuttled at the last minute.

              Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu (neh-ten-YAH'-hoo) had planned talks on June 1. But that fell apart after Israel's deadly raid May 31 on a flotilla hoping to break the Israeli blockade on Gaza.

              The raid has strained U.S. and Israeli relations, and the White House has announced a $400 million aid package for Gaza and the West Bank.

              Obama also will meet with King Abdullah of Saudi Arabia on June 29, with the Mideast peace process among the topics of discussion.

              THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE. Check back soon for further information. AP's earlier story is below.

              WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama's latest White House meeting with Israel's prime minister is set for July 6 — more than a month after their last one was scuttled at the last minute.

              Obama and Benjamin Netanyahu (neh-ten-YAH'-hoo) had planned talks on June 1. But that fell apart after Israel's deadly raid May 31 on a flotilla hoping to break the Israeli blockade on Gaza.

              The raid has strained U.S. and Israeli relations, and the White House has announced a $400 million aid package for Gaza and the West Bank.

              Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, tells ABC's "This Week" that Obama has been clear about the need "to seize this moment of opportunity" to make peace — addressing Israeli security and Palestinians' hopes for their own state.

                Iran to send ship through Gaza blockade

                Iran said Tuesday it would send a blockade-busting ship carrying aid and pro-Palestinian activists to Gaza, fuelling concern in Israel, where commandos were training for another possible confrontation at sea.

                Israel warned its arch-enemy, Iran, to abandon the plan. The Iranian announcement came days after Israel eased its three-year-old blockade of Gaza under international pressure following its deadly raid on a Gaza-bound flotilla last month.

                "No one in their right mind can believe that a ship sent by the ayatollahs and their Revolutionary Guards has anything to do with humanitarian aid," said Israeli Foreign Ministry spokesman Yigal Palmor.

                "I don't think there is one single country in this region and beyond that would let such an ayatollah ship come near its coasts."

                Security officials said the prospect of an Iranian boat headed for Gaza had Israel deeply worried and that naval commandos were training for the possibility of taking on a vessel with a suicide bomber on board.

                After an international outcry over the killing of nine Turkish activists in a May 31 raid, Israel eased its land blockade of Gaza but insisted on maintaining a naval blockade it says is necessary to keep weapons shipments out of the hands of the militant group Hamas, which rules Gaza.

                Israel imposed the blockade after Hamas, which has a violently anti-Israel agenda, took control of the Palestinian territory in June 2007.

                Egypt had joined Israel in blockading Gaza, but it opened its land crossing with the territory indefinitely after the May raid to let thousands of Palestinians through.

                Egyptian transportation official Mohammad Abdelwahab suggested his country was ready to back off the naval blockade as well.

                He said Egypt would not prevent the Iranian ship from passing through the Suez Canal, a strategic passageway that connects the Red Sea with the Mediterranean Sea that Gaza borders.

                Iran's state television reported that an Iranian ship called Infants of Gaza would sail Sunday for Gaza carrying 1,100 tons of relief supplies and 10 pro-Palestinian activists.

                Israel considers Iran the most serious threat because of its potential nuclear program, its long-range missiles and its support for Lebanese and Gaza militants.

                The Iranian ship is one of several that activists say will head for Gaza in the next few months. One is said to be heading for Gaza from Lebanon within days.

                  'Israel supports PKK, PJAK'

                  Israel supports Kurdish militants in their attacks against Turkey in order to put pressure on Ankara, a Turkish political analyst says.

                  Yavuz Selim, in an interview with Press TV, said that the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) and its Iranian offshoot PJAK are "definitely supported by Zionists."

                  He noted that the main reason behind the Israeli support for the Kurdish militants is the fact that Turkey poses a threat to the "illegal existence" of Israel in the Middle East region.

                  Earlier in June, Sedat Laciner, the head of the International Strategic Research Organization — a Turkish think tank — said Mossad agents and Israeli military retirees had been sighted providing training to PKK militants in Iraqi Kurdistan.

                  Laciner said Tel Aviv does not have a positive perception of Turkey's ruling Justice and Development Party, which is led by Prime Minister Tayyip Recep Erdogan.

                  The PKK, listed as a terrorist group by Turkey and much of the international community, took up arms in 1984, sparking a conflict that has claimed some 45,000 lives.

                  Over 40 Turkish soldiers have been killed in PKK attacks over the past few months.

                    Turkey holds secret meeting with Israel over ties
                    ANKARA, Turkey — An official says Turkey's foreign minister has laid out the conditions for improved ties with Israel during a secret meeting with the Israeli industry minister.

                    Turkish Foreign Ministry spokesman Burak Ozugergin says Ahmet Davutoglu met Israel's Binyamin Ben-Eliezer in Brussels on Wednesday. It was the first meeting between Turkish and Israeli government officials since relations soured over Israel's raid on Gaza-bound ships in which eight Turks and a Turkish-American died.

                      Despite Raid, Mostly Business as Usual for Israel and Turkey

                      TEL AVIV — Since the deadly Israeli raid on the Gaza flotilla, Turkey has recalled its ambassador from Jerusalem and banned Israeli military planes from the country’s airspace, while its prime minister has called the xxxish state “a lying machine.” Israel, for its part, has warned its citizens not to travel to Turkey.


                      Menashe Carmon, the chairman of the Israel Turkey Business Council, said some ventures between the countries had slowed.
                      But in most other respects, it is still business as usual between the longtime allies.

                      A military and government delegation from Turkey is in Israel right now, its officers and soldiers rumbling through the sands of the Negev learning how to operate the same pilotless aircraft often used by Israel to hunt Palestinian militants in Gaza. They are there, said an Israeli official, who was not authorized to speak publicly about the deal, because the Israeli instructors who were training them in Turkey were called home after the flotilla raid.

                      Still, the $190 million deal for the drones has not been canceled. Nor have most of the civilian business dealings, from textiles to irrigation systems, that accounted for almost $3 billion in trade last year, business analysts said. “Everything is according to schedule,” the Israeli official said. “There are no changes. It’s business as usual.”

                      “There are good business contacts,” said Soli Ozel, a professor of international relations at Istanbul Biligi University. “The business community would like to see that continue.”

                      The investment and trade that continue beneath the surface are reminders of the deep and interconnected ties that Turkey and Israel have forged over the years as regional misfits — Israel as the xxxish state and Turkey as a Muslim country that straddles Europe and Asia. When the investments are years in the making, as most of the weapons deals are, and with Turkey relying on Israeli technical support, the ties are not so easily broken.

                      Hard figures are difficult to come by when it comes to defense contracts, but Lale Sariibrahimoglu, the Turkey correspondent for Jane’s Defense Weekly, says that Turkish military sources said that military trade between the countries totaled around $1.8 billion in 2007. Israel, she says, was second only to the United States as a source of military technology for Turkey.

                      Turkey maintains that full reconciliation with Israel is possible only if Israel apologizes for the raid on the Turkish ship, provides compensation for the wounded and the families of those killed and agrees to an independent international inquiry.

                      So far, Israel has resisted the idea of an independent investigation, but the Israeli government has tried its best to tone down the crisis and patch up relations. This week, for example, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sent Binyamin Ben-Eliezer, a cabinet member who has cultivated close ties with the Turks, to a secret meeting with the Turkish foreign minister, Ahmet Davutoglu.

                      “It is not in the interest of Israel, or even Turkey, that this relationship continue to deteriorate,” Mr. Netanyahu said in an interview with Channel 1, the state television station, on Friday. “Israel cannot apologize because its soldiers had to defend themselves to avoid being lynched by a crowd.” He added, “We regret the loss of life.”

                      Israel has a free trade agreement with Turkey that no one has spoken of rupturing, and shortly before the flotilla raid Turkey helped ensure Israel’s inclusion in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development.

                      But problems are starting to crop up. Turkish officials are concerned that the Israelis will cancel a $141 million contract to enhance the intelligence gathering abilities of Turkey’s warplanes for fear that the new systems might be used against Israel, Ms. Sariibrahimoglu said.

                      “I am sure we are much more sensitive about sharing sensitive material with them out of fear it will get to the Iranians,” said Efraim Inbar, an expert in Turkish-Israeli relations and director of the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies at Bar-Ilan University.

                      Israel’s ties with Turkey had begun to fray well before the flotilla raid, starting with the election in 2003 of an Islamist prime minister, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who began to tilt Turkey toward new relations with two of Israel’s most serious foes, Iran and Syria. Relations with Israel took an especially icy turn in early 2008, when Mr. Erdogan lashed out at Israel over its killing of civilians in its offensive on Gaza.

                      Israel’s growing wariness of Turkey goes back several years, as evidenced by its decision not to sell the Turks its Ofek spy satellite, Israeli officials said, again speaking on condition of anonymity. On the civilian side the main fallout from the damaged diplomatic ties is easily visible on Turkey’s beaches, once a favorite vacation destination of Israelis who this year canceled en masse.

                      Menashe Carmon, the chairman of the Israel Turkey Business Council, said that although long-time cooperation between Israeli and Turkish businesses had not stopped, partnerships and investment ventures that were in their initial stages had slowed. “They have decided to wait and see what will happen politically,” he said, referring mostly to Israeli companies.

                      His office in a building overlooking the harbor in Jaffa features the Turkish and Israeli flags — a rare sight in Israel. He says he remains hopeful that better times lie ahead. He is busy at work planning a trip for Turkish businesspeople in Israel.

                      “The Turkish are regular visitors to Israel. This will be nothing new,” he said.

                      Correction: July 3, 2010
