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.

  • Lithuania Recalls Ambassadors Over Karabakh Row

    Interesting perspective. Of the former Soviet states, Lithuania is easily one of the most anti-Soviet and anti-Russian (for good reasons) so it's surprising that this diplomat has formed such an opinion on a country that is for the most part seen as pro-Russian. I wonder if this was an isolated incident -- will we see more of this as Armenia prepares to sign the EU-Armenia Association Agreement?

    LITHUANIA RECALLS AMBASSADORS OVER KARABAKH ROW

    17:18 29.08.13

    The Lithuanian president has signed a decree for recalling the
    ambassadors to Hungary and Azerbaijan over what is thought to be
    personal statements about the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

    The decision was made after phone conversations between Ambassadors
    Renatas JuÅ¡ka and ArtÅ"ras Žurauskas and their colleagues in Vilnius
    appeared on YouTube, disclosing their position on the problem, RIA
    Novosti reported. The diplomats are said to have exchanged personal
    remarks about the Armenian-Azerbaijani relations, making jokes about
    Lithuanian Prime Minister Algirdas ButkeviÄ~Mius scheduled trip to
    St Petersburg, Russia.

    Juška reportedly admitted openly that he supports the Armenians
    in the conflict, considering them "another Christian nation which
    suffered losses because of Stalin's maps, as we did."

    The ambassadors have been recalled under a government proposal.

    Lithuanian Foreign Minister Linas LinkeviÄ~Mius said the diplomats
    have no more chances to continue their mission under the circumstances.

    He admitted in the meantime that the illegal recording and publication
    of the phone talk amounts to an information provocation.

    But a former foreign minister of Lithuania, Audronius Ažubalis,
    has criticized the move, considering it a sign that the country's
    government can easily succumb to any manipulation.

    Politics is not about the pursuit of morality nor what's right or wrong
    Its about self interest at personal and national level often at odds with the above.
    Great politicians pursue the National interest and small politicians personal interests
