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.

    Will Grenade Suspect be Sent to the US ??

    ArmenPress
    July 29 2005

    GEORGIAN TIMES SAYS GRENADE SUSPECT MAY BE TAKEN TO USA


    TBILISI, JULY 29, ARMENPRESS: The Georgian Times, an English-language newspaper published in a former Soviet Republic of Georgia claimed that Vladimir Harutunian, a man suspected in tossing a hand-grenade during the U.S. President Bush's public speech in Tbilisi on May 10, may be secretly transported to the USA by FBI agents.

    The reason, according to the newspaper, is that FBI agents are getting increasingly frustrated with Georgian counterparts who cannot force Harutunian to reveal the motives behind his act and also his accomplices.

    Another story in the newspaper claims that the Armenian lobbying
    organizations in the USA may be behind the incident, saying the Armenian organizations are disappointed with president Bush's policy towards Iran. The Georgian Times says Armenia and Iran enjoy strong economic ties and Bush's anti-Iranian policy hits seriously the interests of US-based billionaires of Armenian descent.

    I was hoping that this would bring a couple of questions up for discussion.

    One: Why wasn't the story of somebody trying to kill Bush a BIG news item? Why was it virtually ignored by the media?

    Two: If this guy gets sent to the US, what questions will it raise as to his motivation? Will all of it still be hush-hush or will certain questions come to light?


    Naturally, the Georgians are full of crap when they say the guy was expressing anger over Iran, that's lame.

      I think it wasn't a BIG news item because it was just an attempt... Bush wasn't harmed... not only that, but with the whole war in Iraq and many people opposing it in the country, they at least don't want to report the negative reaction to Bush from the outsiders. That will only make the opposing public more outraged towards the actions of the president and they don't want that. No person would like to have the kind of president whom people try to assassinate when he visits other countries...

      But yeah, the Iran excuse was lame...

                  Ummm... Tiflis?

                  Okay, here's what Wikipedia says:
                  Georgians pronounce Tbilisi with a barely-spoken 't', so that it almost sounds like "Bill-EE-see"; English speakers often mispronounce it like "Tib-LEE-see", but that is incorrect. The correct pronunciation is T*-bi-li-si. The "i" is pronounced as in machine. The "t*" is pronounced as english "t", but aspirated--with a puff of breath after the consonant sound. There is no voiced sound between the "t" and "b" in Tbilisi. Moreover, the Georgian language is unstressed. To approximate the correct pronunciation, English speakers should say t*-BI-li-si, with a light emphasis on the first syllable "BI."
