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.

    Idiot kids are 99% of the time results of either idiot parents or parents who don't get involved enough with their children.
    For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
    to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

      I am seeing less and less of us every year......we will not get anywhere like this. I talk to few of our youth when I was there, at least they feel very strong about it and one of them told me that he will serve in Artsakh army soon.

      It is just not enough of us, this is why we loose this information war.

        True, and also people bogged down by work commitments that disable them to participate. The Khojaly myth is an easy thing to crack, I can't believe we have fallen behind this much. We need something like Aliyev foundation.

        To the person who wants to serve in Artsakh army, I hope (given he is a diasporan) gets automatic citizenship for serving.

          I don't think it's just people bugged down, I think a lot of us have given up. Every president says they will say the Word! But they don't even have the balls to say a word!

          We should remember this for ever, and when the time is right avenging this is the only solution. What do you people think the toork will ever stop being an animal? Do you think these guys in office even care about history when they don't even care about their own? American politicians getting kickbacks from toorks. Caught, and yet where is the story it is not on the news. You know the Chews are laughing their arse off, happy in bed with the toorks. This was not just a crime back then, this is an ongoing crime. You can't even get the property that is in American banks back.

                  ARTSAKH NEWSLETTER


                  February 16-29, 2012



                  Artsakh Newsletter is prepared by the NKR Office in the United States, and summarizes key developments in and around the NKR.



                  SECURITY & POLITICS



                  February 20 marked the anniversary of the Artsakh’s liberation movement.



                  Members of the U.S. Congress commemorate the victims of the Sumgait and Baku pogroms, and reiterate their support to Artsakh’s security.



                  Artsakh’s Foreign Ministry issued a statement regarding the events in Khojaly in 1992. The statement was later distributed in the UN.



                  International conference took place in Stepanakert with participation of local and international scholars. Dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the Artsakh’s independence, the event touched upon the NKR development and role in the international processes.



                  ECONOMY & BUSINESS



                  Artsakh explores international practice and different models of agricultural development. Recently, Karabakh officials have visited Israel for studying the agrarian sector of the country.



                  Valex company, the biggest tax payer in Artsakh, continues exploring new reserves in the republic to ensure the company’s increased presence in the NKR



                  SOCIETY



                  “Karabakh: Hidden Treasure” documentary of Jivan Avetisyan was presented in Stepanakert. The screening and production of the film was organized by the NKR Tourism department and Yerkir Media TV.



                  NKR State prosecutor’s body registered crime reduction during its annual meeting. In 2011, it recorded 368 crimes in comparison with 467 cases in 2010.



                  HISTORICAL REFERENCE



                  On February 26-29, 1988, the Azeri town of Sumgait (hundreds of miles away from Nagorno Karabakh) became the scene of mass pogroms and brutal killings of ethnic Armenians. The massacre claimed dozens of innocent lives, setting a dangerous precedent which was later repeated in Baku and elsewhere in Azerbaijan. Conducted with the connivance of the Azeri authorities, the tragedy never saw a comprehensive investigation; the organizers and perpetrators remain unpunished. Commemoration of the Sumgait genocide took place in Artsakh, Armenia and dozens of states worldwide.



                  Instead of repenting for its actions, Azerbaijan tries to escape responsibility for committing the genocide in Sumgait, and other crimes against Armenians by misinforming the international community about the killings of civilians near Khojaly. In February, 1992, Azeri civilians who managed to leave from Khojaly via a corridor provided by Armenian forces, were consequently sacrificed for the political purposes and many of them murdered by Azeri troops near Azerbaijani-controlled Aghdam, a town seven miles away from Khojaly proper. The fact was supported by then Azeri President Ayaz Mutalibov, who had been dethroned later in 1992, as well as by Azeri and international journalists.

                  About the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, Artsakh



                  The Nagorno Karabakh Republic, Artsakh, was established in 1991 basing on a declaration of the local legislature, and results of a subsequent nation-wide referendum. The people of Artsakh defended their choice in a war unleashed by Azerbaijan. The Nagorno Karabakh Republic, Artsakh has emerged as a democratic, rule-of-law state with capable armed forces, a growing market economy, and an independent foreign policy.

                    PM: Anti-Armenian banners during Khojaly rally work of ‘raving racists'

                    Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said anti-Armenian banners unfurled during an İstanbul rally held on Feb. 26 to mark the 20th anniversary of the Khojaly Massacre reflect the feeling of some “raving racists,” not those of the Turkish people.

                    “These banners do not reflect the feelings of Turkey but those of a few raving racists. … Necessary [legal] action has already been taken. But it is unjust to overshadow the rally marking the massacre by a few worthless banners. Nobody has the right to damage the image of Turkey based on these exceptional scenes,” Erdoğan said.

                    A group of protesters held banners and chanted racist slogans against Armenians during the rally, which organizers said cast a shadow over the peaceful nature of the event. The slogans caused much outrage among the Turkish public.

                    A statement released by the Turkish Interior Ministry on Wednesday said it is impossible to justify “some slogans and banners” during the rally, referring to the offensive banners. The statement added that legal proceedings have been launched to find these people and groups, adding that the İstanbul Governor's Office is working to identify these people.
