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.

    Right now, the Europeans need a 80 million, unassimilable Turks on top of the several million that they already have like a hole in a head. Erdogan's Islamist credentials and orientalism, may play well on the Arab street. However it also isolates Turkey from the West politically.

      It is the elites in the West who have supported turkey's government for the past 70 years. Is it any wonder that prominent turks are regular guests at the annual Bilderburger Group meeting?
      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.

        Gaddafi warns of Al-Qaeda chaos across region

        In a new statement Gaddafi calls on int'l community to help Libya fight Al Qaeda and states a no-fly zone would cause Libyans to 'take arms' against oil-pilfering West

        Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi warned on Wednesday that the region would be engulfed in chaos, spreading to Israel's doorstep, if Al-Qaeda takes control of his country.

        "If Al-Qaeda manages to seize Libya, then the entire region, up to Israel, will be at the prey of chaos," he said in an interview with Turkey's public TRT television channel.

        "The international community is now beginning to understand that we have to prevent Osama Bin Laden from taking control of Libya and Africa," he added.

        On the international debate over whether to impose a no-fly zone over Libya to prevent his forces from attacking rebels from the air, the Libyan leader paradoxically said he was in favour of the move.

        He said that if the no-fly zone would allow "Libyans to see through the real intentions (of the international community) -- to seize our oil -- and then they would take up arms (to defend the country)."

        Gaddafi, who took power in a 1969 coup, once again insisted he had no intention of stepping down, saying he was not the de facto leader of the country.

        "Since 1977, the Libyan people have held the power," he said speaking in Arabic, translated into Turkish.

        Gaddafi ‎,styled himself 'guide of the revolution' from 1977, saying power was held 'by the masses' via elected people's committees.

        Despite widespread unrest in several regions of the country, Kadhafi insisted that "peace and security hold sway in a large part of Libya."

          Good and bad news for Ghazafi.

          Bad news: France recognised the rebel council today. Good news: rebels are retreating from the oil port of Ras Lanuf.

            So does this mean that the country is being carved into two?

              Quite possibly, NATO will decide that for the Libyans. For now, Ghazafi's moving east.

                I would think an actual civil war would need to take place for the country to be divided into two. This tit for tat media generated rebellion wouldn't work, unless of course, foreign soldiers stepped in to divide the land and let the citizens in the East and the ones in the West to vote on a referendum. Sudan was recently separated and there are still clashes between the "army" and the "rebels". Also remember, Manute Bol was from Sudan.... they grow some tall people so the NBA better watch out for democracy in Sudan.

                  I wouldn't take Gaddafi seriously, he's a schizophrenic maniac.

                    But the war on terror IS a sham.



                    Saif al-Islam says Gaddafi 'will never surrender' Libya

                    Col Gaddafi's son, Saif al-Islam, has said that he will "never ever surrender" to rebels he described as terrorists.

                    He also confirmed that three Dutch soldiers seized last month during a failed attempt to evacuate two civilians by navy helicopter would be freed.

                    Saif al-Islam also said that Libya is "united and so strong", and would reject any intervention by Nato.

                    Nato defence ministers met to discuss military options in the Libyan conflict, which has raged since mid-February when opponents to Col Gaddafi's 41-year rule seized many towns in eastern Libya.

                      Zawiya, only fell last night and Gaddafi's forces aren't doing quite as well as they are maintaining.

                      Gaddafi's army has a lot of helicopters, better guns and equipment than the rebels. His Airforce are a dead loss and are more of a psychological weapon than any thing else. However apparently his Navy is bombarding rebel coastal positions and his Navy and Helis are his most valuable logistical assets.

                      Whilst his army advances east, Gaddafi will bring in African mercs, as he has no reserves to police Tripoli. Gaddafi doesn't seem to have all that many solders and part of his army have seemingly defected to the rebel side.

                      It's hard to say if the rebels stand a good chance of holding the east of the country or not and I suppose a lot depends on just how many rebels their are.
