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.

    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

        Theme: Economics


        YEREVAN. – The gasoline prices in Yerevan fell by almost ten percent making 450-460 drams per liter as compared to previous 490-500.

        The prices for regular and premium gasoline fell to 430 and 450 drams in CPS filling stations, deputy president of CPS, one of the largest oil traders in Armenia, Yura Yeghoyan told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

        “I can't say how long the low price will be preserved. This depends on prices of our suppliers,” he said.

        Asked whether the decrease in prices is lined to the offer from “Rosneft Armenia” company that is selling Russian petrolium products in Armenia, Yegoyan said: “Yes, we get them from Rosneft. Everythingt depends on price.”

                There is also reduced demand because of the weaknesses in the world economy created by the last financial disaster.

                    EURASIAN DEVELOPMENT BANK'S ANTI-CRISIS FUND TO LEND $150 MILLION TO ARMENIA FOR CONSTRUCTION OF NORTH-SOUTH MOTOR ROAD

                    YEREVAN, February 24. /ARKA/. Eurasian Development Bank's Anti-crisis
                    Fund will lend $150 million to Armenia for construction of North-South
                    motor road, Dmitry Pankin, chairman of the bank's board, said Wednesday
                    at an online conference.

                    In his words, the deal is already formalized and the money will be
                    sent to Armenia soon.

                    <<This is a 560-kilometer motorway, which will cross Armenia's entire
                    territory and will connect Iran, Armenia, Georgia and Russia,>>
                    he said.

                    Pankin stressed that this is one of the six investment projects
                    that are already approved and waiting for implementation by the
                    Anti-crisis Fund.

                    After settlement of technical matters and ratification of the
                    agreement the financial resources are planned to be transferred to
                    Armenia in 2015.

                    On January 14, 2010, the Armenian government approved the investment
                    program on construction of the North-South transport corridor as well
                    as $500-million loan agreement between Armenia and Asian Development
                    Bank.

                    The goal of the project is to upgrade Armenia's main corridor road as
                    part of a broader thrust to improve connectivity, and boost trade,
                    growth and livelihood opportunities in the Caucasus and Central
                    Asia sub-regions.

                    The transport corridor will stretch from the southern Armenian town of
                    Meghri, on the border with Iran, to Bavra in the north on the border
                    with Georgia.

                    The North-South transport corridor will enable Armenia to mitigate
                    the effects of the blockade imposed by Azerbaijan and Turkey.

                    The Anti-crisis Fund's investments total $2.63 billion, of which $190
                    million will be lent to Armenia under two approved projects. The
                    Anti-crisis Fund amounting to $8.513 billion was established by
                    six countries - Armenia Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Russia
                    and Tajikistan.

                    The fund's main goal is to assist the member countries in overcoming
                    consequences of crises, strengthening their economies and developing
                    integration processes.

                    In June 2009, the countries empowered the Eurasian Development Bank
                    to run the fund's financial resources. ---0---

                      India is to start negotiating a free trade agreement with the Customs
                      Union of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan within the next six months,
                      Indian Deputy Minister of Commerce and Industry Rajeev Kher has said.

                      A Russian-Indian working group which was established in November 2014
                      will consider the negotiating of a comprehensive free trade agreement
                      between India and the Customs Union.

                      Kher said the working group would put forward proposals within the
                      next six months and the negotiating process would start after that,
                      TASS reports.

                      As most of the developed world in the West is suffering an economic
                      downturn, the developing world has been stepping up efforts to bring
                      their economies closer.

                      a broader Russia-led economic bloc that also includes Armenia and is
                      expected to include Kyrgyzstan soon.

                      a GDP of more than $2 trillion.

                      The BRICS countries which include Brazil, Russia, India, China and
                      South Africa will also have established by the end of the year the $100
