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.

          YEREVAN, May 19. /ARKA/. At a meeting with president Serzh Sargsyan, Armenia’s acting economic development and investment minister Suren Karayan reported on what has been done to enhance exports and attract fresh investments, the presidential press service reported. It quoted Suren Karayan as saying that his ministry is working to preserve the positive dynamics of economic indicators for the first months of year 2017 and to provide for the future sustainable development.

          According to the acting minister, the ministry has set a goal to bring in the coming five years the share of exports in the GDP structure up to 45%. Karayan informed that towards that end industrial areas which possess export potential and development programs of the enterprises had been studied. The later received the necessary assistance from the government to be able to utilize that potential. There also has been created a list of import substituting goods; if sufficient support is provided, they can compete with the imported goods.


          Karayan reported also on what has been to win new markets and strengthen and expand the positions on the already existing markets. He spoke, in particular, about the promotion of the Armenian goods at the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) market, their introduction at major trade chains, steps towards the creation of the EEU common market and establishment of joint production chains. The two men were said also to have discussed the measures and prospects for the utilization of Armenia’s export potential in the framework of the European Union’s GSP+ preferential trade system. According to Suren Karayan, work is underway for a wider use of the export toolbox and in case of necessity for the enhancement of its efficiency.

          Karayan informed the president that the program on the improvement of business climate in Armenia for year 2017 has already been drafted. It is expected that after the implementation of the envisaged measures, other things being equal, Armenia’s rating at the World Bank’s Doing Business report will rise from 38 to 26, registering a 12-point improvement. According to Karayan, the aim is to position Armenia in the next 4-5 years among the top 20 countries of that rating.

          The acting minister reported to the president of Armenia also on the process of drafting a new law On Foreign Investments which will provide new guarantees for the protection of investments.

          Finally. 50% is a good target. 75% would be even better. Hopefully these projects include more than just copper and agriculture. I'm talking about exporting IT, Entertainment, and Energy. That's what I'm talking about.

          And if this top 20 thing is accurate, that would mean that Armenia would be on the same level as Iceland. Does this mean that we are going to see the level of corruption in Armenia drop to that of the level of Iceland? If this is true, you bet your a$$ I'll be in Armenia.

          We just need to get rid of corruption. Bribes are bad. Meritocracy good. Cmon. We can do this.

                You are pitching your criticism too widely making your statement meaningless.

                How about if all diasporans gave half as much shi..t in fighting the Turks we would conquer all of the South Caucuses and more.

                    I am not making a (new) point only reacting to your statement.

                    Are you really criticizing our boys who spend 2 years of their life in the army with all the risks involved.
                    Are you criticizing all the mothers who live in the constant fear for their sons, many who lose their sons also.
                    Are you criticizing all those people who are doing their best at times with minimal resources developing military hardware.
                    Are you criticizing all those people who are contributing to the economy of the country, there are people who pay tax in Armenia, not everybody is a crook……
                    I could go on forever …..

                    You seem to be impressed by those who are headline makers ( deservedly ) and assuming all spyrkahyes are the same.
                    You are forgetting how widespread is odar marriages.
                    You are forgetting all those who could not be bothered to teach their kids the mother tongue, or history or culture etc etc.

                      I am criticizing the close to 500,000 people that left the former ASSR on the premise that Armenia was a corrupt, lame place to give a phuck about. These same people are the ones who rarely enroll their kids into Armenian language programs, nor do they particularly value that their kids get education here in the US. They don't even want to go back to Armenia nor do they even want to help financially.

                      Armenians in Armenia, especially the ones outside of Yerevan, are great people. My criticism is directed at the ones that ran away and never ever want to come back. Ever.

                      I am editing this post to insert an apology if I have offended anyone with my overtly passionate statement. I really am saddened by the mass migrations and the lack of effort to build Armenia. I understand that everyone is trying their best, we're all essentially starting from 0, and I do wish everyone much luck and success.
