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.

I'm determined to marry an Armenian, but if I don't, my kids are still going to go to Armenian schools and grow up Armenian no matter what.
I think you touched upon what's truely important; I'm sure some of us have a little bit of russian/greek/persian/etc in our blood, but spiritually, we still consider ourselves Armenian.
I personally am not limiting myself to Armenians, but I know my kids (if I have any) will grow up as Armenians no matter what.

Vi, your thread was vague enough that we could miss your point, we didnt do it on purpose. I actually thought you cared about Armenian genes. You were the one who said Armenian sperm is precious, no? I liked that.

Re: What do you guys think? Armenian w/ non-Armenian?
my brother just married a Greek girl.
my Dad wasnt too happy at first, but now he is ok.
what if u are armenian and u meet the most wonderful non armenian in the world, u wouldnt just ignore them for an average not so good relationship with an armenian would u?, i certainly wouldnt.
everyone is the same, from chinese to armenian, just because one person may look different doesnt mean they are any different. these things also depend on your own experiences, tastes and family values, so i am sure lots of people think differently.
i live in a place where u can find people from lots of different places living there (United kingdom). and i personally dont mind if i marry an armenian or englishman etc

Re: What do you guys think? Armenian w/ non-Armenian?
Originally posted by sad_eyesThis particular topic has been created in MANY threads. Its quite debatable too, from what I have read. But as I mentioned in a few other forums, my opinions are still grounded.
Bottom line is this. I feel that a relationship with an armenian and an otar can work out. They can get married. Some choose to do so, others dont. I respect both, regardless of my situation. It all depends on the individual, weither or not they can be strong enough to accept and acknowledge the fact that there will be many complications in marrying someone who is "different." Some armenians are not too traditional so this may be an easy thing to accomplish, however some are more so. But really it comes down to what thier specific belifes, values and what their hearts teach them, are. I see how in many ways, it would be easier on both individuals to marry someone of their own culture, because try as they may, know one can change who they are or where they come from. There would be a better understanding of their culture and how they choose to run things in their homes/lives, and more importantly, a better understanding of each other. I support interracial marriages, I think they are just as beautiful, sacred and "normal" as an marriage between two people of the same race. All I know is that there will be complications, but if two people love each other enough to accept and embrace the difficulties and do their best to learn with each other through good and bad then I believe that an interracial marriage can work. Its about adapting.
In my personal experiance,as far as marriage is concerned, we both wanted too, but in the end because I did not meet the "requirements" of a traditional armenian wife, it could not be. The same thing had happened to me when I was 17. Although it wasnt marriage it was that we wanted to be together. His name was Abbas and he was a muslim. My most recent relationship is a swtich off. With Abbas, he wanted to be with me and marry me however I chose not too because of my parents wishes. They did not approve because he was muslim and not from our culture. Now, with Levon, things have changed. His family wouldent approve because I am not armenian (this didnt matter to him, but to his family, yes)and because I am not a virgin. As I mentioned 1000 times, I love everything about him and his culture, but loveing and learning it in most cases will not be sufficiant. Heartbreak is a pain in the ass (for lack of a better term) and getting involved with someone who isnt of your race or culture is very very complicated. It doesnt matter how much in love you may feel or be, the fact that you two are different will ALWAYS burden its way through and arouse problems. BUT, if two people are strong enough and love each other enough...............anything is possible. Love, real love, is a precious and sacred gift, if anyone is lucky to find it, and have it mutual, then I say go for it, but hold on, its going to be a bumpy ride.
If you don't mind me asking, what are you?

I've seen Armenoids darker than the average north hindi.
Trust me on that.
