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.

  • Re: Neo Iranians: The Case of Azeri Turks

    I think we can all agree that the Hellenic Influence at the time was great. It was the dominant culture of the old world. I don't think there is much to go beyond that.

    As for "Iranians".... "Persia" was rules many times by different Irano-tribes (Parthians, Scythians, Medians etc). This all changed with the influx of mongol hordes and turks from the East. For instance the Timurid Empire, based out of what we traditionally consider Persia or Iran and was forged by Tamerlane who was of Turco-mongol stock. The dominant language however remained that of the irano-aryans (farsi i beleive its called).

    To complicate things further the fall of the Timurid Dynasty saw the rise of the Safavid Dynasty. The safavids were of both Kurdish and Azeri stock. The azeri's are a branch of the Oghuz turks who migrated westwards with the rest of the central asian and Mongol tribes. The kurds are historically an Irano peoples, the Azeris are not. Currently I would say "Iran" is being ruled by irano-aryan people as the language persists. The azeri's however make upto 40% of Irans current population.

    So i wouldn't consider Azeri's Neo-Iranians. There is still a strong presence of "Irano-aryans" there. The influx of turks though have changed the kinetics of the middle east and Central asia quite drastically.

      No similiarities at all, huh oslonor?
      Yes. they have similar helmets. But the Parthian has a nordic profile. The Greek has Meditaranean profile. They belong to two sub-racial types.

      It is not really clear what you are trying to say??? Are you saying that Parthians were Greeks??????????????????????????????????????????? You can take as much space as you want and explain your points instead of talking in code words!!!!!

        I'm saying you're an idiot for trying to define the sub-racial types of busts that were made thousands of years ago and thus subject to erosion and other forms of defect. And furthermore, even if the busts were in perfect condition, the final product is simply the impression of the artist about the subject, not a scientific log of the subject's racial characteristics.

        You can't make sweeping generalizations about races and ethnicities - which have lived in close proximity for thousands of years - based on a few photos you found on the internet. Oh, and those white Persians are the exception, not the rule.

          You are making many correct statements. But I have to correct your error.

          1. Azeri Pan Turks rule Iran at present time. Azeri Nationalist in Azerbaijan-Iran do not rule Iran. You confuse the two.

          2. Safffavids were Azeri Turks and murdered millions of Kurds and Zoarastrians. Saffavids had nothing to do with Kurds.

          Yes. you are a real Anatolian. Kanki claims to be anatolian is not. She is an Azeri from Republic of Azerbaijan.

            Who has ever called Karzai an Iranian? He is a Farsi-speaking ethnic Pashtun.

              It is not a question of simple bust althoug I have presented many pictures of the faces of Parthians. There is extensive research in Russia on Parthians. They confirm what I am saying. Parthians had nothing to do with Greeks.

                Wikepedia does. Check the Iranian section on Wikepedia. Afghans hate this "Iranian" label.

                    There is a big possibility that the bust is just an Indo-Hellenic bust and has nothing to do with the Partians. We don't were it get's those pictures from.

                      Mr. Pakistan the Great: Please go back to Pakistan. This region has nothing to do with Indians or Pakistanis, hindus and Sindis and Punjabis.
