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.

ARMENIAN AMBASSADOR IN DAMASCUS: WE ARE OPTIMISTIC ABOUT THE FUTURE OF SYRIA THROUGH FUNDAMENTAL REFORMS
Syrian Arab News Agency
Sept 29 2011
Syria
DAMASCUS, (SANA) - Armenia's Ambassador in Damascus Arshak Poladyan
held on Thursday a reception on the occasion of the 20th anniversary
of his country's independence.
Ambassador Poladyan stressed during the reception that Armenia has
repeatedly announced its desire to develop cooperation with Syria in
various fields.
He added that the mutual visits of the two country's officials during
the last years set a legal and essential base for developing bilateral
relations and led to signing dozens of agreements and protocols in
cultural, scientific and educational fields.
Concerning the current events in Syria and the foreign interference
in the Syrian internal affairs, the Ambassador said that national
dialogue is the only way to solve the crisis, calling on all parties
to sit at the dialogue table and find suitable solutions.
He expressed his optimism about the future of Syria through fundamental
reforms and criticized some satellite channels which exaggerated the
events in Syria.

TURKEY STARTS MILITARY DRILL AT SYRIAN BORDER
Hurriyet
Oct 4 2011
Turkey
The Turkish military stages an exercise near the Syrian border as
Prime Minister Erdogan signals sanctions are on the way against Syria
Turkey will lay out new sanctions against Syria soon, visiting Prime
Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan says in the South Africa. AFP photo
Turkey will consider more sanctions against Syria as it cannot stand
idly by while Damascus shoots demonstrators, the country's prime
minister said Tuesday, the same day the Turkish military announced
plans to conduct exercises near its southern border.
There can be no justification for killing defenseless people, Prime
Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Tuesday in Pretoria at a joint
press conference with Deputy South African President Kgalema Motlanthe.
Stepping up pressure on embattled Syrian President Bashar al-Assad,
Erdogan said he would lay out Turkey's plans for sanctions against
Damascus after he visits a Syrian refugee camp near the two countries'
common border in the coming days.
"Regarding sanctions, we will make an assessment and announce our road
map after the visit to [the southern province of] Hatay, setting out
the steps," Erdogan told reporters, adding that he expected to visit
the region on the weekend or at the start of next week.
The prime minister is expected to announce new sanctions during
the trip.
Turkey has begun partially implementing some sanctions, the prime
minister said, but added that it had chosen not to announce them
officially because of the urgency of the matter.
The plan for more sanctions heralds a further deterioration in the
previously friendly relations between Ankara and Damascus since the
start of al-Assad's crackdown on protesters. More than 7,500 Syrians
have taken refuge in camps established in Hatay, having fled the
violence at home.
Erdogan said they had an advanced friendship with al-Assad but added
that the Syrian president had betrayed the principles underlying
the friendship.
"What is important to us is the Syrian people. The freedoms [in Syria]
are disregarded [by the government]," said Erdogan, adding that
al-Assad was repeating his father Hafez al-Assad's violent campaign
against Hama and Homs.
"We never expected that," said Erdogan.
Military exercises on Syrian border
Turkey's military exercises are likely to coincide with Erdogan
planned visit to Hatay. The military said in a statement on its website
Tuesday that the maneuvers would take place in the southern province
between Oct. 5 and 13. Turkey has earlier said it had stopped two
ships carrying arms to Syria.
The aim of the exercises is to test "the mobilization and the
communication between the ministries, public institutions and Turkish
army in case of a war," said the military.
At least 2,700 have been killed in the crackdown in Syria, according
to the United Nations. Demonstrators have begun to demand some form
of international protection that stops short of Libya-style Western
military intervention. NATO Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen
recently told daily Hurriyet that the conditions in the country were
not sufficient to warrant an international intervention.

Re: Revolutions in the Middle East
MIDDLE EAST IS UNDERGOING CHANGES -EXPERT
PanARMENIAN.Net
October 5, 2011 - 15:39 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Middle East is currently in the stage of change,
yet the final image of the region is hardly predictable at the moment,
according to the director of Armenian National Academy of Sciences~R
Oriental Studies Institute.
At news conference in Yerevan, Turkologist Ruben Safrastyan cited
several factors to lead to regional changes. ~SAfter the Arab spring,
Islamic forces will enter political arena, with U.S. increasing
involvement in regional developments. Also, Turkey will intensify
presence both in Middle East and international arena,~T the expert
said.
As Safrastyan noted in this context, by approving NATO radar
deployment, Ankara struck a deal with Washington, in exchange being
allowed to strengthen it presence in Middle East.Hayastan or Bust.
