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.

          Azerbaijan Army

          The Azerbaijani Land Forces are the land force component of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces. Since the fall of the Soviet Union, Azerbaijan has been trying to further develop its armed forces into a professional, well trained, and mobile military. Based on 2007 statistics the country has about 56,840 ground force troops, with additional paramilitary forces of 15,000. In addition, there are 300,000 former service personnel who have had military service in the last fifteen years.

          Reportedly, in wartime, the Army proper could call upon the support of the National Guard, the Internal Troops of Azerbaijan, and the State Border Service. The exact wartime command structure remains unclear.

          History

          During the Soviet period, Azerbaijan was part of the Transcaucasus Military District, whose forces in the republic were commanded by the 4th Army. The 4th Army consisted of three motor rifle divisions (the 23rd Motor Rifle Division (MRD) at Ganja, the 60th at Lankaran, and the 295th in Baku) and army troops that included missile and air defense brigades and artillery and rocket regiments. Azerbaijan also hosted the 49th Arsenal of the Main Agency of Missiles and Artillery of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, which contained over 7,000 train-car loads of ammunition to the excess of one billion units. In addition, the 75th Motor Rifle Division, part of the 7th Guards Army, was in Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic.

            Does Aliyev have army to back up his statements on military solution of Karabakh conflict?
            February 21, 2011 - 20:48 AMT 16:48 GMT
            PanARMENIAN.Net - Recent incidents in Azeri army, Azeri servicemen’s killing his 7 fellow solders and casual handling of a grenade resulting in 5 soldiers’ injuries, prove that Azeri authorities could benefit more by addressing the issues in their own army, rather than finding fault with the army of their neighbors. Shifting the fault for the deaths of its soldiers on Armenia and Karabakh, the Azeri government won’t escape the severe reality. The situation in the Azeri army is alarming, to put it mildly. Besides being unbalanced, Azeri soldiers are not too good at handling the weapon, purchased by Azerbaijan in large quantities.

            However, in spite of the alarming signs, Ilham Aliyev continues mentioning military resolution to Karabakh conflict. Is he still setting hopes on his army? Then he’d definitely benefit from international experts opinions, agreeing on the fact that the efficiency of the Azeri army leaves much to be desired.

            Clearly, Azeri authorities’ spending huge funds on purchase and production of weapon prove they realize the weakness of their army. Azerbaijan plans on production of missiles and airbombs with Turkey and Pakistan, purchase of tanks from Ukraine. Still, many-millioned ammunition is hardly worth anything without a well-trained army.

            Sooner or later, Baku will have to admit to being unable to form a real army and finally cease its meaningless military rhetoric.

            RA Defense Ministry: loss messages Azerbaijan is preparing for new provocations
            Spokesman for the Ministry of Defence of Armenia Davit Karapetyan said common Azerbaijani media reports that the Armenian forces on Feb. 20 violated the ceasefire, causing losses to the Azerbaijani side.

            "According to information received from the NKR Defense Army reportedly Azeri 20 February repeatedly violated the ceasefire", - said Karapetian.

            According to him, Azerbaijani media information about the numerous casualties and injuries can be caused by a suicide in the Azerbaijani army, and the consequence of a series of sabotage acts.

            "Given the fact that the Azerbaijani side has made a provocation in casual work, it is also possible that, through numerous publications about the losses Azerbaijan is trying to pave the way for further provocations" - "Karapetian said.

            "Armenian armed forces continue to respect the ceasefire" - said in comments Press Secretary Ministry of Defence of Armenia.

                well one azeri who said they should have a "Day of Rage" on facebook is in jail now

                Twenty-year-old opposition youth activist Jabbal Savalanly found that to be the case on February 5 when police arrested him for marijuana possession after he had posted a Facebook appeal for a “Day of Rage” against the Azerbaijani government.

                On February 17, the Court of Appeals in the city of Sumgayit upheld Savalanly's two-month pre-trial prison sentence.
                looks like the aliyev is xxxxting himself that a revolution to remove the dictator is becoming more and more possible. Now Libya is going through one, is azerbaijan next? lets hope so.

                  Why do we want a better (Sultan ) Government for Azerbaijan.
                  If anything we want somebody even more corrupt/incompetent than now.

                  We want better government for Armenia, praying not through a revolution though.

                    I dont want a better govt for azerbaijan, maybe they will just kill themselves.
                    I seriously dont understand those people who want a revolution in Armenia. ter petrosian is a dumbass and he doesnt care if more poeple die just so he can become president and ruin the country. I read an article stating that he sent his family abroad, just like he had done during the March 08 protests. I hope its not the same because is the situation in Armenia the same as Egypt, Tunisia, Libya? no.

                      A better Government does not necessarily mean different Government.
                      Certainly not revolution.

                      BUT it can mean present authorities seeing some of their wrong ways.
