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.

        Azeris have the real lack of probability to win, based on past wars and conflicts with us.
        By initiating terror and pressure on frontline they try to gain that higher probability of win, while we loose it further.
        By doing nothing we guarantee bigger and heavier conflicts with azeris.
        The only way is to respond with heavy and inequal actions every time azeris kill one of our own.
        like destroying their position line with heavy bombardment or taking over that position in an opportune moment. It will not lead to war, on the contrary, it would lower the probability.
        If azeris knew they could win war, they would start one regardless of our responce.
        By escalating we make it costly for enemy and drop their will for further killings.
        like next time they hit our villages in Tavush, we should take their positions.
        By doing nothing we gain international name of weak idiots not respect.
        I don't say we should do nothing. I tried to explain why we don't go further like you and some other guys demanded. Probably it's not correct to talk about probabilities of winnig in a full scale war because that depends on many aspects. But the main problem I want to underline is the extreme limitation of our resources. You can't answer adequate (=inequal) if you don't have the resources to play this game consequently until the end. Of course our soldiers can destroy some positions but we don't have the possibility to answer like this every time. If the tensions go to the next level (more intense breaks of the ceasefire or short wars like in April) we will have problems regarding our resources. That's exactly what the azeris want. They give a f*** about their soldiers or their effectiveness. Holding the fragile balance that exists today is in our favour as long as our general situation hasn't become better, especially regarding the demographic and economic situation.

          • This conflict is not going to end soon. We need to invest in large trench diggers and large corrugated pipe machine.
            Dig large trenches 15’ x 15' (anti-tank & transports) behind our existing line. Install 8' tall corrugated pipe with watch stations capped with heavy concrete ends for monitoring and protection.
            Use the trench excavated material to cover all of the pipeline.
            Fill the trench with mines. Move out of all these old trenches to the new protective system.
            This should created a very good economical long term protection. Send a signal to the azeris we are here to stay for good.
            Two diggers and 10 tractors 30 million
            Pipe machine 4 million
            Galvanized material per km gradual investment.
            We should be able to have it done in 3 to 4 years.

            • Finland, with a population of 4.5million, was able to create a system of defense that would most likely stop a Soviet assault or bleed them dry. Armenia can do that with the Azeris.

              The problem with Azerbaijan is that they have way more money than we do. Can Azerbaijan conquer Armenia? I mean, can the Americans conquer Iraq? Can the Soviets conquer Afghanistan? Does anyone believe any of that? Hardly.

              The problem is that Azerbaijan has a lot of petrodollars that let's it buy obscene amounts of weapons, FOR CASH, that are delivered to it PROMPTLY, that allow it to outgun Armenia. Once the oil stops, the music stops.

              • What we have to do is build an economy. Pashinyan and the new government need to create some kind of mechanism, a stock market, an kickstarter, i don't know what exactly, that let's Diaspora Armenians invest in Armenia and make profit off of it.

                Armenians globally can raise a $100mln a year, for a country like Armenia, that is enough to finance new IT companies, new Supply Chain companies, new Pharma companies. I truly believe by tapping into that, we can create something great in Armenia that will allow us in 5 years time to have a more resilient economy than Azerbaijan.

                      The problem we have is falling into trap of seing our survival or victory not in our selfs but in stupid fictionsl generated comparisons.
                      We did not stop in front of soviet might, did not stop after Russia gave that might to Baku.
                      We were fighting with shotguns against helicopters and tanks.
                      We now have modern weapons, but sit and beat our knees about stupid toys azeris poke into our eyes.
                      But fighters have allways been the same. In our case maybe much better.
                      This economy or better strength xxxx is being overrated many instances, shadowing our capability and allowing unnecesary losses.
                      Who says that first salvo we send to them, azeris are not going to run as allways?
                      Who says asery Mother’s and public are not going to cry and demand an end from their government?
                      By doing very little we allow Aliev to play “victories” and keep his power.
                      If we deny that to him, Azerbaijan will go into civil strife for long time.
                      People forget that azeris are not going to rebell and establish democracy or better stronger country like us or Georgia.
                      They most likely will go the way of libia or Iraq, long term chaos.
                      Dictatorship of Aliev being baijan’s strongest state the same way Kadaffi or Saddam were strongest points in those countries histories.
