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.

    Not every individual is moral, decent and honourable etc all the time or even part of the time .... even if he/she is an Armenian !!!.

    However National values is something else. They guide (should) national institutions with their moral compass.
    They are values that the nation aspires and expects, They are cast in stone.

    I am referring to the army, police force, church, judiciary, governance etc where individuals members are guided ( should) in the spirit of National values
    even if as individuals do not ( have never ) meet those criteria.
    It should not be too difficult to observe this either in individuals or institutional leaders.

    My point was, it is possible to force a group of people to focus on our national values even for short term by reinforcing them through a pep talk etc.
    However outside this particular environment they will drift to their individual values which may or not be very savoury in society.

    .
    A pleasure to talk with you. Your points are reasonable and well written.

    --- there is a danger mixing national values with individual values ---
    As you pointed out, the national values are the higher values.
    The danger I see is substituting individual base desires for national values.
    The individual should strive (earnestly) to have his/her individual values meet the height of national values.
    That's not a danger but rather a goal.

      DISCLAIMER: This chart is pretty old, I mean old old

      Willing to bet there at least 400-700 guys in the regiment.

      I guess anywhere between 100-300 in the recon battalions, for them, I have no idea. ( Take that back, considering the recon battalions are most likely issued vehicles. Probably much more)

      So, I imagine its like this:

      Black beret
      Intelligence
      NKR Special Forces
      Recon battalions (blue beret)
      NKR National Defense


      I could be 100 percent wrong like most of the time , hopefully someone with the knowledge will clarify
      Then there is NKR special forces, NKR national defense, and Armenian intelligence, which I have no idea where they fit into this.


      Just wondering who did the operation, thinking about putting a section in the wiki based on the special forces of Armenia and NKR









      The downing of the Armenian helicopter has changed the political situation in the Armenian-Azerbaijani relations and has made it clear that the mediating efforts that started in summer have no effect on Baku, political scientist Hrant Melik-Shahnazaryan told reporters today. According to him, the international community does not possess the set of tools to exert influence on Azerbaijan and the relative peace is maintained only thanks to the efforts of the Armenian Army.

      Melik-Shahnazaryan said the Karabakh conflict has entered a new stage after the August events. He also presented details of the special operation of retrieving the bodies for the four pilots of the downed plane.

      He said the operation was carried out by a four-member group after the examination of the area, de-mining of some parts. Three types of air devises were used in the operation, one of which was used for the first time in the history of the Armenian military forces.

      Doesn’t’ the incident mean that the Minsk Group Co-Chairs are unable to solve certain issues and could this serve as a basis for changing the negotiation format, something Azerbaijani is aspiring for?

      “Of course, Turkey would like to see Turkish role here, because they understand that the Minsk Group is also a club, where the superpowers coordinate their policy on the South Caucasus. I think the resoluteness of the Armenian party and the leaders of the Minsk Group co-chairing countries will help maintain that format.

      According to Armenia’s ex-Ambassador to Canada, Director of the Modus Vivendi center Ara Papyan, the operation of the Armenian side was “necessary, but not enough.” He considers that 2015 will be a decisive year, a year of opportunities and risks.

            The special-purpose units perfectly carry out their tasks
            2014-11-22
            Within the framework of events dedicated to the Scout’s Day, a festive event was held on November 22 in one of the RA MoD special-purpose military units, dedicated to Scout’s Day and the anniversary of the formation of the RA AF intelligence units.
            The event was attended by RA Defence Minister Seyran Ohanyan, the Chief of General Staff of the Armenian Armed Forces, Colonel-General Yuri Khachaturov and other high-ranking military officers.
            In the parade square of the military unit, the military staff of the special-purpose unit greeted the Minister of Defence of the Republic of Armenia, Seyran Ohanyan. The Defence Minister congratulated all spies on the occasion of the vocational holiday, stressed the importance of the role of special-purpose units during the Artsakh war years and stated that, presently the special-purpose units perfectly execute their tasks by improving their skills and combat readiness on a daily basis.
            The festive event continued with a demonstrative performance by the special-purpose units.
            At the end of the event, Defence Minister Seyran Ohanyan awarded several officers and servicemen of the RA MoD special-purpose units with administrative medals and certificates of appreciation for their conscientious service and high professional skills.
            Intelligence troops have undergone a difficult path of formation and today they are determined to enhance their efficiency.
            The military staffs of intelligence subdivisions formed during the war years have upgraded their professional theoretical knowledge and practical skills, and have also enriched the educational and logistical database. According to the registered achievements and accomplishments, today’s intelligence agencies of the Armed Forces are establish structures which occupy a very important position among other military branches.
            By facing the obstacles of war, the special-purpose units have become stronger, more skilful and carried out numerous combat manoeuvres. A lot of servicemen who have crossed this path contribute today to the defence activities of their sacred homeland.

                Absolutely,

                this is where our leadership frequently lets the nation and the country down.

                You can have a nation which is progressive, ambitious, achievers with high national values underperform, to put it mildly.

                .
                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
