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.

    China executes 9 Uighurs

    China executes 9 Uighurs

    China has executed nine Uighurs for participating in ethnic rioting in the country's northwest.

    The China News Services, a state-owned outlet, reported Monday that the nine had been put to death recently, but no specific date was given.

    The nine people were convicted on charges of murder and other crimes. Their sentences were recently reviewed by the Supreme People's Court, a requirement under Chinese law.

    The rioting left almost 200 people dead in the worst ethnic violence to hit the country in decades.

    Uighurs are an ethnically Turkic, predominantly Muslim group who make up the majority in the northwestern province of Xinjiang.

    State media also said Monday that 20 people were indicted on charges in the deaths of 18 people amid the unrest in the province.

    Protests started in early July in the provincial capital of Urumqi when demonstrators gathered to demand justice for two Uighurs killed in June during a fight with their Han co-workers at a factory in southern China.

    The demonstration turned into a riot, as armed Uighur mobs clashed with police and passersby. They also set ablaze or otherwise damaged hundreds of vehicles, stores and street vendor stalls.

    In response to the riot, hundreds of Han Chinese — the majority ethnic group in the area — rampaged through the city two days later with sticks and meat cleavers, looking for Uighurs and revenge.

    The unrest then spread to other cities in the region.

      Armenia should move in the direction of forging closer ties with China since the Chinese also realize the dangers of Pan-Turkism to their territorial integrity.

        I really don't see Turkish-Chinese relations worsening all that much. Don't a lot of Chinese goods pass through Turkey to get into Europe? Economic cooperation always keeps whatever sour apples two nations may have between one another at a minimum.

            And China has more to offer the world than turkey. It is in turkey's long term interest to have normal, if not friendly, relations with China.
            For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
            to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

              Turkey is possibly the most hypocritical country in history, considering how many peopel they have killed, their treatment of the Kurds and their denying of Genocides, yet a few Uighurs are killed, and Turkey calls it Genocide and starts on a country for civil rights.

              I agree with Catharsis, it would be beneficial to side with China, maybe even push China for Genocide recognition, does anyone know of any efforts to inform the Chinese of the Genocide yet?

                Absolutely Pedro, National People's Congress should raise this issue and make an appropriate declaration about real historical culprit government's who have committed genocides (starting with Turkey). They should also point out the ongoing denial by the Turkish government which makes them nothing short of accomplices to the crime of genocide.

                Currently, there is a small presence of Armenians in China, especially in Hong Kong and Shanghai. Armeno-Chinese relations date back to antiquity as there were vibrant Armenian and Chinese communities in both Armenia and China via the trade routes including the Silk Road. I can elaborate more on some of the specific historical details of the Armeno-Chinese relations. In more modern times in the 19th and early 20th century Armenians in cities like Hong Kong and Shanghai played a prominent role in shaping the growth and modernization through entrepreneurs and benefactors like Catchick Paul Chater (Chaterian) who did quite a lot for the development of Hong Kong and numerous other Chinese cities.

                http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catchick_Paul_Chater


                In more modern times there was a close cooperation via the USSR-China relationship in the 1950s but that stopped as Sino-Soviet relations cooled in the 1960s. Armenian leaders like the then Prime Minister Vazgen Sargsyan in 1990s understood the growing might of China and saw a common bond in both China and India (yet another modernizing giant), in case of the former especially because of Uighur separatism in northwestern Xinjiang province of China. Azeris alleged that Sargsyan personally made deals with Chinese leadership and bought weapons systems - including 8 Typhoon surface-to-surface rocket systems.

                A Reuters article from a decade ago.

                Azeris Protest Alleged Chinese Arms to Armenia

                BAKU (Reuters)–Azerbaijan on Tuesday accused China of supplying sophisticated weaponry and training to its arch-foe Armenia–and demanded Beijing recall the alleged arms shipments.

                Vafa Guluzade–top foreign affairs adviser to President Haydar Aliyev–said China had supplied Typhoon rocket systems to Armenia–which has been locked in conflict with Azerbaijan for more than a decade over the disputed Karabakh region.

                "In violation of international norms and agreements–China has given Armenia eight Typhoon rocket systems. Right now–Chinese instructors are in Armenia teaching the Armenians how to use them," Guluzade told Reuters.

                "We demand that China immediately recall the Typhoon systems," he said.

                A Defense Ministry spokesman said the surface-to-surface rockets had a range of 37 to 50 miles.

                A source in Azerbaijan's foreign ministry said the Chinese ambassador in Baku had been handed an official protest regarding the arms shipments.

                A Chinese embassy spokesman told Reuters it would answer the note in several days–but declined to comment on whether there had been an arms shipment.

                Armenia's Foreign Ministry said it had no information on the matter and that it would release a statement later.

                Azerbaijan has often complained of Russian arms shipments to Armenia.

                "Now there is an alliance between Russia and China against the West–Russia is trying to pull China into the Caucasus conflict," Guluzade told Reuters by telephone.

                According to Guluzade–Armenian Defense Minister Vazgen Sargsyan procured the Typhoon installations last summer during a visit to China with the Russian defense minister.

                He said this was a sign that the supplying of the Typhoons was arranged with the help of the Russians.

                Guluzade said the Chinese ambassador had earlier told the Azeri Foreign Ministry that Sargsyan bought the Typhoons from a private company and that the government was not involved.

                YEREVAN (Noyan Tapan)–Chinese Military Attache Colonel Jui Xaojui began his Armenia mission recently. During a reception held on the occasion–Chinese Ambassador to Armenia Tju Tjaoshun said–"Armenia and China can be said to be cooperating in all areas today." The ambassador hoped for cooperation in the sphere of defense to be as effective as it is in others.

                  China, a country with totalitarian laws that would never be tolerated in a free society

                  Pedro you've turned into a puzzling turkophobe. You effortlessly ignore the fact that China is the world's largest dictatorship that ruthlessly represses freedom amongst the Tibetans and Uighurs not to mention its own people with totalitarian laws that are unparalled. You glaze over the fact that a country without the rule of law has just executed 9 people but instead are convulsed by mere comments just because it's from a Turkish source.

                  Your style is starting to resemble the classic Armenian debating technique i.e. seek to define your opponents on terms that suit your hypothesis, usually by selecting the extremes examples and then start slandering like there's no tomorrow.

                    Before turkey can speak about human rights abuses, it should first take proper steps to address its ottoman era crimes, i.e. the Christian Genocide of Armenians, Assyrians and Pontic Greeks, and they should stop the anti-Kurdish policies.

                    If you live in a glass house you shouldn't throw stones.
