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.

    Vay lagod shner!

    Pathetic. For all those not aware, Azerbaidjan will be hosting a NATO friendship military exercise this month. Armenia is invited, but Azerbaidjan had at first declined to allow the armenian delegation to come. They finally accepted when a NATO general FROM TURKEY told Azerbaidjan that if they are unwilling to host any country that belongs to the program, the activities will take place somewhere else.

    Armenia had hosted the exercises last year, a story that caused a slight controvery because it brought a turkish general on armenian soil (actually, turkish generals and soldiers are walking around freely on armenian soil right now). Azerbaidjan had refused to participate.

    I will be praying for the security of our representatives in these exercises. I hope some fanatics actually do attempt something and fail. It would just prove that the azeris failed to beat us yet again, and it would make their government look weak both at home, and in the international community. The pacifist in me, however, wants to see these operations run smoothly, and our delegation's safe return to Yerevan.

    Kudos to our government for always taking the high road in such cases, and for demonstrating which side is really rooting for peace.

    Azeri pressure group plans "unexpected incidents" for Armenian military

    Ekho, Baku
    8 Jan 04

    A few days ago the Karabakh Liberation Organization (KLO) called on the
    Azerbaijani authorities to ban a visit to Baku by an Armenian Defence
    Ministry delegation for NATO's Cooperative Best Effort-2004 conference
    at the start of January. In addition, the KLO threatened to take
    measures to prevent the Armenian military from visiting Azerbaijan.

    The reaction of the Armenian side was made public yesterday
    [7 January]. The Armenian military are planning to attend the
    Baku conference, the head of the Armenian Defence Ministry public
    relations department, Seyran Shakhsuvaryan, told Yerkir news agency in Yerevan. [Passage omitted: details of Shakhsuvaryan's statement]

    "If the Armenians insist on their visit, they will regret it because
    the mood of Azerbaijani society is very negative," the KLO chairman, Akif Nagi, said, in comments on Shakhsuvaryan's statement.

    Nagi said that "a round table" of rights activists and veterans of the Karabakh war would be held on 9 January on the KLO's initiative. The round table will issue a special statement in connection with the Armenian visit to Baku. Nagi added that various protest actions would be staged on the day of the Armenian military delegation's arrival in Baku. He also said that the Armenian military would face "unexpected incidents". True, Nagi declined to explain what he meant.

    Nagi expressed surprise at the position of Azerbaijani officials,
    particularly of Defence Minister Safar Abiyev and the head of the
    foreign relations department of the Presidential Executive Staff,
    Novruz Mammadov. Abiyev and Mammadov said that they understand the Azerbaijani people's dissatisfaction, but the Azerbaijani authorities could not prevent the Armenian delegation from visiting Baku as they had been invited by NATO.

    "Aren't we masters in this country? Maybe terrorist [Usamah]
    Bin-Ladin will be invited here tomorrow, then what, should we keep silent about this as well?" Nagi said. He added that the KLO used to stage 40-50-strong protest actions in the past, but everything would be different this time round. Nagi promised to stage massive actions and invited everybody, including officials, to join them.

    Meanwhile, an employee of the Azerbaijani Defence Ministry, who
    requested anonymity, told Ekho that any possible incidents during
    the Armenian delegation's visit could have a negative impact on
    Azerbaijan's international image. He denied the report that the
    Armenian military delegation would consist of three generals. "There has been no official information about members of the Armenian delegation as yet," the source said. He added that special security measures would be in place for the Armenian delegation.

      I actually think that the post possibility would be like you said if they try to do something and fail, that will just show how uncivilized they are and who is the aggressor in this conflict and it will make them that much lower on the international stage and us that much higher that we voluntarily invited them.

        It's amazing how it started out as Armenia being the agressor, and how the balance is tipping in our favor now.

        Oh, and the comments from some Azeri parliamentarians about being ready to become a suicide bomber just helps us out even more.

          The messed up part is we were considered the aggresors. It was like we were fighting 10 different nations there. Azeris, turks, mujahedin etc...
          Finally the truth will prevail.

            EMBASSY OF AZERBAIJAN IN TBILISI REFUSED TO GIVE ENTRY VISAS TO ARMENIAN OFFICERS

            ArmenPress
            Jan 9 2004

            YEREVAN, JANUARY 9, ARMENPRESS: The Embassy of Azerbaijan in Tbilisi refused to give entry visas to Armenian officers, who must take part in a conference on preliminary planning of military exercises to be held in Baku within NATO's "Partnership For Peace" program. In this regard, the Armenian Defense Ministry informed Armenpress that the statements of Azerbaijani corresponding structures allowed to think that the Azerbaijani side was readiness to accept Armenian officers, being well aware of the rules of the game, i.e. "the military exercises are prepared and conducted within NATO and not by will of Azerbaijan". But, according to spokesman of Armenian Defense Ministry Seiran Shahsuvarian, the statements made by the chairman of Azerbaijani "Organization for Liberation of Nagorno Karabagh" Azif
            Nagi and refusal of Azerbaijani Embassy in Tbilisi to give entry visas to Armenian officers, bring to conclusion that Azerbaijan, violating the rules of "Partnership For Peace" program, tries to hinder the participation of Armenian officers in NATO-organized conference.

            Shahsuvarian also said that this stance of Azerbaijan is unacceptable both for NATO and partner-countries, therefore Armenia is confident that they will remain firm in their principles and will continue forcing Azerbaijan not to hinder the participation of Armenians in the conference. In his words, in case visas are not obtained from Embassy of Azerbaijan in Tbilisi, the delegation of Armenian officers, consisting of Colonel Murad Isakhanian (the head of delegation), Lieutenant Colonel Albert Baghdadian, Captain Armen Martirosian, will try to obtain them at Baku airport.

            The Armenian Defense Ministry thinks that the peace and stability
            in the region may be established only via cooperation within the
            frameworks of NATO's "Partnership For Peace" program and mutual collaboration.
