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.

    Yes it is a homerun because this means Russia/turkey relations are over and the azeris just xxxx their pants. It means Armenia is more important to Russia then ever before. It also means those Turkmen are gona get arseraped like they do to animals.
    Hayastan or Bust.

      Don't see how Armenia is involved since Russian warships are lining up to the West of Turkey/Syria border by land and sea. Home run might not be the best word as a Russian died as a result. But I don't see how this negatively effects Armenia.


      "Russian plane flew past the borders of Turkey. Two F-16 flew from Turkey and made an attack. Shot down a plane of the Russian Federation, which flew by. The pilots ejected. Descending by parachute, the pilot was shot from the ground.
      Russian ship sent to the border of Turkey and Syria. The ship is armed with missile systems S-300. From
      now on, any aircraft threatening the goal of the Russian Federation on
      the part of any State to be shot down by missile system S-300. Military contacts with Turkey now, on the initiative of the Russian Federation - discontinued."

        Armenia is not about to "become a warzone." If anything, Armenia is now untouchable. In fact, this new situation will even restrain Azerbaijan. In the case of serious hostilities, we are presented with a historic opportunity to liberate our lands with the backing of a superpower. I'm very encouraged by today's developments, and I thought the post I posted yesterday of Turkish supported Turkmen and Russian-backed Syrian forces fighting was good news!!!

          - Russia's tourism agency also recommended the suspension of package holiday sales to Turkey.

          - Turkey, which has visa-free travel with Russia, has become more attractive for Russian tourists after Moscow suspended flights to Egypt. About 4.4 million Russians, including 3.3 million Russian tourists, visited Turkey in 2014.

          -In 2014 alone, 4.48 million Russian tourists visited Turkey, bringing in revenue of nearly $4 billion, official figures showed.

            Factbox: Russia-Turkey economic and trade relations

            Turkey shot down a Russian warplane near the Syrian border on Tuesday saying it had repeatedly violated its air space, one of the most serious publicly acknowledged clashes between a NATO member country and Russia for half a century. Russian President Vladimir Putin said the plane had been attacked when it was inside Syria and warned of "serious consequences" for what he termed a "stab in the back". - Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Tuesday advised Russians not to visit Turkey and said the threat of terrorism there was no less than in Egypt, where a bomb attack brought down a Russian passenger plane last month.

              The Turks could fly their birds over Armenian airspace and tempt the Russians to shoot. This could lead to another passenger jet being shot down, this time Armenian. They could push the Azeris to escalate situation in Armenia, forcing the Russians to focus somewhere else.

                We'll I agree that if Turkish "birds" happen to "accidentally" cross Armenian airspace, they're almost certain to get shot down. I'm even willing to bet they're likely to get shot done flying close by within their borders. But what do you think Turkey is going to do about it? It can't do sheeetttt, expect say "thank you sir, may I have another."

                I only pray the Turks are stupid enough to "push the Azeris to escalate situation in Armenia, forcing the Russians to focus somewhere else." That would spell the immediate and quick end of Azergayjan.

                  They're not acting like this entirely on their own. You know they have the full support of NATO and EU members. Obama/Pentagon just stood by and supported Turkey saying that what the Turks did was entirely justified.

                    Two Russian pilots have been killed. Let us consider this loss with some real heart , and not crassly rejoice for any perceived geopoliticle advantage this may present to us. Let us mourn with Russia and share the CONTEMT that Russia must feel. This is our opportunity to act like human beings and friends. Not opportunists.
                    Russia is the only country that can actually stand up against the brutal criminality of west/sood/yahood.
                    A time for solidarity , not personal gain.

                      It doesn't matter. The US/West is not going to start WW3 over Turkey; theyre never going to come into direct conflict with Russia. What happened in Georgia? What happened in Crimea/eastern Ukraine? When Russia does retaliate against Turkey, the West is not going to do sheet about it, either. That's the bottom line.
