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.

    The sad truth is that by being on the other side of the border, armenians cant make the same attachments to Ararat that their ancesters did. Since you can't go to Ararat and climb it you won't get the feelings associated with that experience.Armenians climbed ararat and they considered the journey as a sort of pilgrimage where they came closer to god and many did it just for the sake of having accomplished a challange.Climbing the mountain was one of the things on the to do list for most armenians who were ambitios or liked adventure.
    The Universal Mountain (Ararat) is usually presented in three parts:
    on its summit dwell the gods, beneath it dwell the forces of evil, and in the middle of it (that is on earth) lives mankind. Greater Ararat (Masis) in ancient Armenian literature is known as "the mountain on which the sun strolls", and "the highest mountain in the universe" under which dwell evil forces. This shows that in the earliest beliefs of the Armenians Greater Ararat (Masis) was presented as the holy mountain that preserved the system of the universe after creation.
    It is apparent from a riddle dating to the 12th - 14th centuries preserved and recorded by Hovhannes Tsortsoretzi that Masis (Greater Ararat) was understood in the Armenian world-view as the Universal Mountain.

    "As defined by the great Creator
    it is a pyramid and the foundation of the world,
    the place of the house built by God
    on which human feet may not tread
    (answer - Masis)"

    In this sense, the report by the European traveler William Rubruk (13th cent.) is quite valuable. According to this report, among the Armenians it was forbidden to climb Mt. Ararat- Masis.
    When he asked why, it was forbidden, the Armenians answered:
    "Masis is the mother of the world"....

      Regardless of where in the world they live, most Armenian households will have at least one picture/photograph of Ararat on display.

        So, back to the postcard and that scroll with the 28th May date on it, is it just a symbolic representation or was there a real document dated 28th May? Or was there nothing proclaimed in writing until the 30th?
        Sorry for not replying sooner. I don't know of a proclamation document dated 28th May. However, Kachaznuni,Khatisian and Papadjanian were despatched at noon on 28th May to Batum, with unlimited powers to conclude peace on behalf of the Armenian people or in the name of independent Armenia.
        In such an inauspicious manner was born the Republic of Armenia.

        he himself uses three seperate sources for this.

                  The expeditions to the peak of our ancestral mountain continue. This time it is Homenetmen scouts from Israel that take the journey to the top. Video of the journey http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v2S3geBPQGI
