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.

    Turks plan to decorate stadium with 70,000 carnations for Armenia soccer game

    Flower Power: Turks plan to decorate stadium with 70,000 carnations for Armenia soccer game

    By Suren Musayelyan

    ArmeniaNow reporter

    Published: 01 July, 2009

    Turkey is preparing a large-scale floral greeting to Armenia’s national soccer team and few fans that will be traveling across the border for a return World Cup 2010 qualifier this fall, according to a Turkish newspaper report.

    Turkey’s Today’s Zaman reports that 70,000 carnations will decorate the Turkey v Armenia soccer match that will take place in Kayseri’s Kadir Has stadium on October 14, “with two carnations put on each seat in the stadium, which has a capacity of 33,000.”

    The newspaper quotes Mustafa Erengul, director-general of Flower Production and Marketing Corporation that will be decorating the stadium, as saying that “flowers are the language of love”.

    Recep Gedik, Chairman of Turkey’s Interflora Florists Association, says “the event will help improve relations between Turkey and Armenia”.

    The first-leg World Cup 2010 qualifier between Armenia and Turkey in Yerevan on September 6, 2008 marked the beginning of a thaw in relations between the two estranged nations.

    In early 2009, Armenia and Turkey received a Fair Play award from international football’s governing body, FIFA, for their contributions to world peace through the match in Yerevan.

          wow, what a way to put negative spin on positive news guys! Deep down, many members of this forum want to maintain their animosity with Turks.

          How I miss Istanbul-Armenians... they are the only ones who want peace.

            I think SS said that he would not go if the border is not opened by then.
            Does that mean a Karabagh agrement be in place by then?

            Will everything be washed down with flowers which will wilt after a few days.

            Its about self interest at personal and national level often at odds with the above.

              This is as positive as when Dink was murdered and we got in return a demonstration or two where they shouted "We are all Armenians"

              The voices faded away our loss was permanent.

                NO, they will give you 70,000 carnations and try to get what THEY WANT.

                  It's easy for them to do these kinds of cheap stunts, they were not the victims.

                    Ok guys, calm down, it seems there won't be any carnations or expressions of well-intention as it's announced that the match will be held in Bursa, not in Kayseri as the above article claimed.
                    And I think that the people of Kayseri, who had friendly relations with Armenians in the past, just wanted to express their desire for good relations with Armenia. Anyway, they won't be able to.
