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.

    Agreed this is not Karen Karapetyan responsibility.

    There was not a single individual within the ruling party to handle running of the government.
    An outsider was able to come in and within months identify the bad apples and replace them.

    What is the credibility of the ruling party.

    What is the credibility of the untouchable President who wants to be re-elected.

    It appears he wants to occupy his post without responsibility,
    His specialty, making monumental and catastrophic strategic mistakes .... of course without any comeback.

    .
    lol who is the baker general? i didn't understand that first part

    we have to wait to see how much of this is an act, and how much of it is authentic. to see how much fundamental changes will be implemented. I really hope it is legitimate because the clock is running out on our republic.

    And i really hope serzh realizes his time is up and walks away in feburary of next year. because if he doesn't, i can tell you there'll be a bloody revolution here.

      If you would know soviet system like I do, you would know that nothing and no one is ever changed without approval of top leader and support of the party pyramid underneath. The environment has changed from communist to capitalist (sort of) only. But the system is the same.
      How would'nt countriy's leader know for so many years that his minister that gets paid 200000 drams a month has amassed $200 million abroad?
      Because he and his clan had a cut.
      Changing few ministers, but the system of corruption is still the same. Clans and their webs are still there and doing well.
      Few changes had to be made to avert public catastrophe and they are doing just that.
      A little bet less ( it almost had gotten to a disaster on front with Azeris), a little bit more measured and controlled will do now.
      Got a new, nice fellow with good and fresh public image refining the house and public image for the good fellows.

          Good point, but now i'm questioning, who is our next leader and who is our next ruling party that is the least corrupt? That is my question, I know Mr Sargisyan isn't going to have a 3rd term and if he does have one, well lets hope the civil war ends quick.

            The coming election will be between:

            HHK
            Tsarukyan/Ohanyan/Oskanian
            Lusavor Hayastan/Civil Contract (ելք դաշինք)
            ARF
            Orinats Yerkir

            (Zharangutyun is falling apart and HAK will probably not participate)


            The best party to win for improving the conditions of the country would be Lusavor Hayastan/Civil Contract. Unfortunately, they simply don't have the infrastructure and the funding to win. I will still be supporting them.

            However, the election will be between HHK and the Tsarukyan bloc. Therefore, our best hope is that Serzh understands the gravity of the situation and makes the necessary changes. Because right now it looks like they will win.

              Politics is not about the pursuit of morality nor what's right or wrong
              Its about self interest at personal and national level often at odds with the above.
              Great politicians pursue the National interest and small politicians personal interests

                But be aware of last minute maneuver and surprise from HHK.
                They have plenty of plans and opportunities up their sleeves. Even for post election fixes, like Vanadzor and Gyumri have shown.
                The changes you guys desire so much will only happen when public is conscious and aware a great deal. It's a matter of natural survival. Public will become more politicised and polarized which will help an even unknown until then individuals or group tip the scale, get power and force real changes.
                Let's hope this new group(s) are driven by real national vision and HHK clan does not have antidote ready in case.
                I am talking about what looks like could be an international trend.
                Trump in US or fast rising waves in eutope.
                Those that defy even their parties and ride a wave of support to implement unconventional or extreme changes ( if it proves that Trump is genuine and not another trick of Goldman and Socks).

                  Why wouldn't HAK participate? As I saw they were negotiating to introduce cameras and fingerprint verification and also read some article that Levon will personally manage their election campaign. If they don't participate that would be better though.

                      One thing I should add is that, there's plenty that can be improved in Armenia without disrupting the oligarchs. there are many things that are simply ran ineffectively than can be corrected if someone simply cared.
