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.

    Nelson Gevorki Stepanyan

    Photo: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedi.../Stepanyan.gif

    (Russian name Nelson Gevorkovich Stepanyan; March 28, 1913 – December 14, 1944 born in Shushi) was a Soviet Armenian dive bomber pilot during the second World War in the Red Air Force. He was twice awarded with the military title of the Hero of the Soviet Union, the highest title in the former USSR.

    Stepanyan was teaching at another military flight academy when the Second World War broke out in June 1941. He volunteered for combat and served in a multitude of aerial battles as a pilot of an Ilyushin Il-2 fighter bomber. After he was promoted to the rank of major in 1943, he became the commander of the 47th Fighter Division. With his unit, he took part in the Soviet offensives around Sevastapol, Theodosia, and Sudak (in the Crimea); for its efforts, the 47th Fighter Division was named after the town of Theodosia. In May 1944, his fighter division returned to the Baltic and took part in several more battles against the Germans and the Finns.

    As of November 1942, Stepanyan was reported to having destroyed 78 German trucks, 67 tanks, 63 anti-aircraft guns, 19 mortars, 36 railroad cars, 20 merchantmen and warships (including a naval destroyer), 13 fuel tankers, twelve armored cars, seven long-range guns, five ammunition dumps, five bridges.

    Stepanyan was also shot down over enemy lines, although friendly guerrilla fighters aided him to reach back Soviet lines. Stepanyan was called "Storm Petrel of the Baltic Sea," and was awarded twice with the title of Hero of the Soviet Union, the latter posthumously. On his final mission sortie in Liepāja, Latvia on December 14, 1944, his plane was hit by anti-aircraft fire and though wounded, he rammed his own plane into a German naval warship. Stepanyan's loss devastated the rest of squadron. His fellow pilots sent the following letter to his parents after his death:

    [Stepanyan was a] clear and modest man, close and beloved by all; he was a father and teacher to all of us, a friend and a commander....We were all crying when Nelson Gevorkovich failed to return on that fateful day. They say that tears bring comfort. But the few tears of a soldier, like the red-hot drops of metal, burn the heart and call for vengeance

      BATTLE IN STALINGRAD: "ARMENIANS SHOWED THEY ARE"

      Aysor.am
      Tuesday, February 02

      Today is the 67th anniversary of Stalingrad battle. In the sever battle
      of Stalingrad took part also Armenians. The battle that lasted around
      200 days was crucial for the WWII.

      Today few of the participants of Stalingrad battle are alive but as
      Hrant Hovhanisyan the chairman of the veterans of the Armenia assured
      to Aysor.am there are veterans of that war who have taken part in
      the battle and are still alive.

      "The Armenians showed who they really were on the Stalingrad battle",
      - H. Hovhannisyan mentioned and added that his brother Mkhitar
      Hovhannisyan too has partaken in that battle and has died.

      "On the Stalingrad battle there were Armenians in all Russian
      divisions", - mentioned Hrant Hovhannisyan and added that he can't
      say exactly how many Armenians took part on the Stalingrad battle
      and how many veterans are alive today.

            he was murdered because it was a purge and exile era and he was not the only one considering also Charents, Khanjian, Nejteh, etc and of course thousands of innocent people. and say that our christian turk neighbors still have stalin statues eriged in their cities, they must be proud of having created such a monster

              Dear Eddo,

              My Name is Vartan Nazarian. My father's name is Alexander Nazarian. He was born in Baku in 1928. He is the cousin of the Armenian hero Konstantin Nazarov (Major General of artillery). They were separated when my father's family migrated to Iran. He would always talk to me about his cousins and especially Konstantin. I was so glad to find his name in your list and was wondering if you have any idea how I can get his address? I'm presuming he lives in Russia.
              Thanks.
              Vartan

                  Re: Armenian Admirals, Marshalls, Generals, Heroes in the Soviet Army during WWII

                  Ivan Khristoforovich Bagramyan (Russian: Ива́н Христофо́рович Баграмя́н)[n 1] (2 December [O.S. 20 November] 1897 – 21 September 1982), was a Soviet military commander and Marshal of the Soviet Union. During World War II, Bagramyan was the first non-Slavic military officer to become a commander of a Front. He was among several Armenians in the Soviet Army who held the highest proportion of high-ranking officers in the Soviet military during the war.[1]
                  Bagramyan's experience in military planning as a chief of staff allowed him to distinguish himself as a capable commander in the early stages of the Soviet counter-offensives against Nazi Germany. He was given his first command of a unit in 1942, and in November 1943 received his most prestigious command as the commander of the 1st Baltic Front. As commander of the Baltic Front, he participated in the offensives which pushed German forces out of the Baltic republics.
                  He did not immediately join the Communist Party after the consolidation of the October Revolution, becoming a member only in 1941, a move atypical for a Soviet military officer. After the war, he served as a deputy member of the Supreme Soviets of the Latvian Soviet Socialist Republic and Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic and was a regular attendee of the Party Congresses. In 1952, he became a candidate for entry into the Central Committee and, in 1961, was inducted as a full member. For his contributions during the war, he was widely regarded as a national hero in the Soviet Union,[2] and continues to hold such esteemed status among Armenians.Click image for larger version
