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.

    Turkish Intellectuals Address Open Letter To R. Kocharian

    TURKISH INTELLECTUALS ADDRESS OPEN LETTER TO R. KOCHARIAN

    ArmenPress
    Aug 1 2005

    ISTANBUL, AUGUST 1, ARMENPRESS: A group of Turkish intellectuals
    addressed an open letter to the Armenian President Robert Kocharian in
    which the authors express concern about the fate of Turkish scientist
    Ektan Turkilmaz who was arrested in Yerevan while trying to smuggle
    out of Armenia tens of books "of historical and cultural value" dating
    back to 17 and 20 centuries. In the letter, published in the Turkish
    Daily News, the authors say they are sure that Turkilmaz violated
    the law unknowingly.

    "No one warned him against it," wrote Turkish intellectuals, calling
    on the Armenian authorities not to sharpen the tensed and fragile
    relations between Armenia and Turkey. According to the Armenian
    national security service, Ektan Turkilmaz, 33, a Turkish citizen
    from Istanbul and a student of a US-based Duke University, in North
    Carolina, was arrested aboard a plane bound from Yerevan to Istanbul.

          Most of these are the same folks who were going to participate in the Armenian genocide conference. Armenian scholars have also protested this incident. His arrest and detainment is quite silly and has been handled poorly. Kocharian or someone ought to just pardon the guy as he clearly meant no harm and its being blown way out of proportion. Don't they see that they have just killed/reversed a public realtions boon - with this guy having been the first Turk tyo acess the Armenian State archives and such - and now turned it into cannon-fodder for denialist Turks. Can't anyone just think through these thigs for a bit? Are we always going to be beholden to fringe elements who get us into these messes?

            "no one warned him against it"


            HA HA HA HA,some intellectuals alright. He has to have it explained to him that there's something wrong with smuggling? I suppose that since they think something they steal belongs to them forever that is a problem.
            I dare ask, "If the enemy is numerous, disciplined, and about to advance, how should we respond to them? I would say, first seize something they love for then they will listen to you...attack what they love first."
