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.

    Houthi forces launch first missile towards major Saudi city
    By Leith Fadel - 28/10/2016

    SANAA, YEMEN (12:20 P.M.) - For the first time in the Yemeni Conflict, the Houthi forces launched a ballistic missile towards a major Saudi city.

    According to the Yemeni Republican Guard's official media wing, the Houthi forces fired a Burkan-1 ballistic missile towards the King 'Abdel-'Aziz Airport in Jeddah on Thursday.

    However, the missile was intercepted by the Saudi Air Defense systems some 65km away from the holy city of Mecca, Saudi state media reported on Thursday.

    The purpose of this Houthi missile attack was to show Saudi Arabia that they possess the capabilities to strike the Gulf monarchy's major cities if the Saudi Air Force continues to bomb densely populated Yemeni areas.

      Syrian rebels 'start Aleppo offensive'
      BBC
      From the section Middle East

      Syrian rebels have announced a big offensive aimed at breaking the government siege of rebel-held east Aleppo.
      A UK-based monitoring group said rebels had fired "hundreds" of missiles into western Aleppo, killing at least 15 civilians.
      They are also reported to have targeted al-Nayrab military airport to the east.
      About 275,000 people have been besieged by pro-government forces since September.
      Syria and its ally Russia have recently intensified air strikes on the east.
      The attacks are so far coming from rebels outside Aleppo, but it is understood that rebels inside the city will join the offensive.
      "All the revolutionary factions, without exception, are participating in the battle," the military spokesman for the Fastaqim faction inside the city said, AP news agency reported.
      The UK-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights (SOHR) said rebels had fired Grad missiles at al-Nayrab.

        Russia loses UN Human Rights Council place, Saudi Arabia re-elected

        For the first time since UNHRC's inception in 2006, Russia has lost an election to the UN Human Rights Council after being narrowly beaten by Croatia in a vote. Saudi Arabia was successfully re-elected, despite criticism from human rights organizations.


        .
        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

                  "'Bill & Hillary have the worst judgement': Close adviser slams Clintons in latest Podesta leaks

                  Published time: 29 Oct, 2016


                  Turkish donations
                  In August 2015, Podesta forwards an email to finance director Dennis Cheng from Michael Werz from the Center for American Progress.

                  Werz alerts them of Turkish fundraisers donating to the campaign on behalf of Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

                  “Seems Erdogan faction is making substantial investments in U.S. to counter opposition (CHP, Kurds, Gulenists etc.) outreach to policymakers and USG [United States Government],” he says. “The Erdogan crew also tries to make inroads via donations to Democratic candidates, including yours. Two names that you should be aware of are *Mehmet Celebi* and *Ali Cinar*.”

                  WikiLeaks has released the 22nd batch of emails from the account of Hillary Clinton's campaign chair, John Podesta.
