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.

Do you believe US-Israel would sit&atch and allow Moscow invade the only Western ally in the region?
    the Us will not go to war for Turkey against Russia. NATO will do nothing because it's Turkey who started the war. And Israel doesn't posses the power to go against the bear. There is a reason why Turkey backed down in 93. And that reason is many times stronger than in 93. It would be suicide to go to war against Armenia.

      Turkey backed down because it was given assurances by Russia that they would not allow Armenia to make any military intervention in Nakhchivan.

      And I bet similar pressure was put on Azerbaijan so that it would not do anything to provoke the possibility of such an intervention.

        And the threat that they would have been fighting against the Russian? That noting to do with it?

          Both are factors. Armenia was discouraged by Moscow from taking Nakhichevan, which they are most likely going to do and Turkey agreed to stand down. And yes, Turkey is still fearfull of the Russians and with good reason.

            It may or may not have succeded. Armenians forces ran low of fuel and ammo {and soldiers} not to mention Moscow was going to withold supplies for such a venture. Regarding military tactics, we would have lost the neutrality of Iran. Also, the Armenians might have been able to push all the way to Baku but they would have to fight 100's of kilometer east through flatlands which would be at disadvantage. Let's not forget that Armenian did not have an Air Frce with which to attack Azeri positions well inside Azerbaijan. What they should have done is taken Yevlakh which is the staging point for the Azeri military on the front and where th BTC now runs through. Anyway, by the summer both sides were exhausted and even though morale was high, all I state above is why a take over of Azerbaijan never occured.

              I know both are factors, but Nakhichevan's statues is guaranteed by Turkey and Russia discouraging Armenia seems to remove any legal reason for Turkey to get Involved.

                Yes, that did contribute. Though it is not very well known, Armenian forces did enter about five kilometers into Nakhichevan outside of Sadarak in early 1992 but withdrew after Heidar Alyev, then the unofficial leader/overlord of the Nakhichvan region made agreement with Armenia to stay quiet. After that agreement, the Armenian did not need to waste valuable time and resources toward the region. Armenians continue hold some high groud/hills techinically within Nakhichevan

                      I believe they still hold a few small positions within what is technically Nakhichevan or at least they did until even years after the combat ended.
