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.

    my true colour was there from the beginning dont worry about to too much and I also know your true colour!... you and your kind of people are talking to "manipulate" and "oppress" only. I have the right to share my ideas whether you like it or not. You either choose to agree or disagree but what you are trying to do is "manipulation" and thats unacceptable. I dont think anybody here needs your "comments" in order to get the "true colour" of what I am saying. Everyone has the brains to understand what I was saying and I meant no harm unlike you whose only purpose is "propoganda".!

      Well you should ask this question to the Armenians here, not me. But this is the reality. If you express your above opinions about 1915 at Switzerland or France, the police arrest you, geti into the court and then prison. Thanks for the Armenian diaspora. No matter what you believe about 1915 you have two options:
      1. You will accept Armenian genocide.
      2. You will keep silent. It is forbidden to say the opposite accoring to the law.

        I still dont understand :S...It would be nice if somebody could explain to me. I didnt said I dont accept the genocide. Instead I accepted and said as far as I understood from what I read so far, there was a "mass violence" involved towards armenians and turkish government is responsible for it and they should be panished.

        I know its not easy to forget the past but if one wants to have a happy future, forgiveness and peacfulnes is the only way out. I would never want to fill my children's heart with hate. People change over time, I dont think the same way as my grandma does and it was the same for her and her grandma. Minds change over time and I believe if everybody had the intention of making peace then there wouldnt have been any wars. Violence should never be the solution to any problem. I hope my message reaches well to its destination. I think its good to give an example:

        Here is a the past of statement from ..."Assembly of Turkish American Associations Regarding Cyprus Before The European Subcommittee of the House International Relations Committee, June 18, 2001"
        recarding the "mass violence" my people experienced not long ago
        .."It has never been declared a war under international law. The Turkish Cypriot fear of genocide was well founded. In a February 26, 1981 Athens newspaper publication, Nicos Sampson boasted that, "if Turks did not launch the operation, we not only could succeed in ENOSIS, but also eradicate the Turks from the Island.""...

        Basicly, some manipulated greek cypriots had the intention of eradicating the turkish cypriots but they couldnt succeed. At schools, I was thought to "hate" greek cypriots, I was told "they are monsters", I was told "they tried to eradicate us"...It was as if all greek cypriots were "evil monsters", as if they only wanted "blood" and nothing else... Untill I met my first greek cypriot fella, that was the image I had in my mind and I was small, like 8-9 years old. After that day, I was thinking what my histor books wanted me to learn was a piece of junk. They wanted us to hate eachother coz it was to their benefit. However, I liked that person and I realized we share a lot in common. I used to know some greek from my grandma and I talked with her and she also knew some turkish...etc. After this experience I learned one important thing: I had no reason to hate a person just coz I was told her people killed mine.

          Why do you suddenly feel to express that you accept the genocide? Are you afraid that Switzerland police will arrest you, you want to be politically correct and dont want to attrack the hateful messages to you, or you have no problem about banning an opinion by the laws with prison punishment? Indeed, isn't here any single individual that feel something wrong with this???
          How can you justify the decleration of an opinion result with prison???

              I was %100 sure that you will distort my question with this. The freedom of speech problems in Turkey doesnt justify the freedom of speech problems of Armenian diaspora. If you can not answer my question, at least dont manipulate it by spamming garbage. The question here now is the banning of the freedom of speech by France and Switzerland. If you want to discuss Turkey we can do it seperately, but dont use it to shield yours. At least try to be honest that much.
              p.s.: I dont interest with your ass or your insults loser.

                  You know very well what my problem is. According to French and Swiss laws it is forbidden to say that 1915 was not a genocide. If you are for freedom of speech be a true man and condemn it. But I see that you want to play the fool. Ok, go ahead. I wouldnt expect you the more. Any honest person that support the freedom of speech in this forum??? Helloooo!!!
                  Everbody either keep silent or play the fool when it comes to this.

                    i do condem it.... i think france and swiss went too far with this law as well as turkey.... all need to adopt american freedom of speech laws ... thats my stance, happy?

                    But these laws are directly related with turky's absalute denial..... they only exist in response to turkey... nothing else...

                      Good, although it was a very reluctand condemn (like yes I condemn ASALA, but ASALA was a response to Turkey), no problem, condemn is condemn anyway. I question Turkey approach in this forum and elsewhere, and advice you the same about your diasporas official history. So can this be the final post between you and me since you can not control yourself about insulting me? Good. So have a nice day and best regards.
