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.

    Armenia is not a cooking recipe, 1/3 of this and 1/3 of that.

    You have to look at the country as a totality.

    Equally important look at the population and economy of the country as a totality.

    Describing Yerevan as vibrant economically is a bit like describing the diaspora as vibrant.
    The reality is the old generation(s) have assimilated and replaced by the new migrants who naturally have links with their identity.

    The regions being ignored, people leave for the metropolis. the city may look vibrant.

    The reality is once the region's population has uprooted itself in seeking a better life
    it will not find it difficult to leave yet again its new found "place of economic activity" since it has lost/ broken its bond with his original birthplace.

    Aram Safaryan sees positive economic trends in EAEU member states



    ARMINFO News Agency, Armenia July 15, 2017 Saturday Aram Safaryan sees positive economic trends in EAEU member states YEREVAN, JULY 15, ARMENPRESS. According to the statistics of January-May 2017, there are positive economic trends in the member states of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), Aram Safaryan – chairman of ‘Integration and Development’ NGO, coordinator of Eurasian expert club, told a press conference in Armenpress while presenting Armenia’s economic figures in the first 5 months of 2017 in the context of membership to the EAEU. Safaryan said the President of the Russian Central Bank announced that Russia enters new stage of economic development and a good year is predicted for Russia. “Here it is important to note that major rating organizations have revised the figures for Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Armenia and promised new growth rates. According to those figures, compared to what has been predicted previously, Armenia can record from 2.5 up to 3, even up to 3.4 economic development rate within the course of the year. This is quite high figure”, Aram Safaryan said, adding that Armenia completed last year with 0.2% economic growth rate. He said Armenia’s economy can develop at higher rates in 2018. Aram Safaryan stated that the highest rate ensuring economic growth is in export field and here already a double-digit economic growth has been recorded within five months, moreover, through the export of ready-made products. “We can solve employment, social and other issues in our country only through increase and export of the volume of ready-made product. We are optimistic over the development of spheres which were previously exhausted – textile, footwear production, which seemed were hopeless. However, we see that these fields received a chance to develop under the EAEU”, he stated. He also attached importance to the activeness registered in tourism field, stating that the number of Russian tourists visiting Armenia has increased. It is expected this trend will continue in future. According to Safaryan, as the overall expectations are positive, here the issues on how the tax, customs agencies, state structures, credit organizations and banks will work become important, as well as on how the political figures will negotiate on increasing the opportunities and etc. The development of upcoming years will greatly depend on this. He added that Armenia doesn’t take part in procurement market since the public sector doesn’t cooperate with the private sector to submit competitive proposals with famous Russian standards. The other countries have serious lobbying opportunities. The culture of participating in the procurement process in another country has not yet been formed in Armenia, and, according to Safaryan, active work and cooperation at various directions are necessary.

    Time all of us to wake up and wake our oligarchs and leadership.

    .
    This was a interesting watch in many ways but notice how in the end it is just simply trying to make China look bad while in reality it is achieving some great things and improving the lives of people who need it the most. This source obviously has a political agenda and is not even trying to hide it. Beware of drawing conclusions based on such sources.
