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.

    It is worth noting the similarities between the Azeri army and the Georgians. Tbilissi’s troops were very well equipped and had received ample training from Western countries. They went into battle with high spirits….at the first sign of trouble they ran like rabbits all the way to their capital.
    And left everything behind for the Russians. So with that said, let them spend!

    Oh and we can do facepaint too:



    Something about their faces tells me they're not into the posing for cameras thing as much, though.

      A 4 part series, I am posting it because it includes footage shot of the frontlines from both sides. I think it was part 1 that shows the Azeri side and part 4 that shows the Armenian side. Ignore the bs and bias, I can't find any other video that shows this kind of footage of the frontlines.
      Interesting. The video presentation was from the Armenian side half way into the second part and on. But you know that Crusader is going to use this as further evidence that you are a Turk

              Something about their faces tells me they're not into the posing for cameras thing as much, though.
              All this reminds me of that time during the war when Robert Kocharian made a statement at a public forum where he thanked Heidar Aliyev for arming both armies and how he appreciated all the fine equipment that was be utilized by the Armenians in Artsakh.

              {Russia has recently had a similar experience with their NATO trophies from Georgia}

              Journalists, pundits, analysts, etc in Azerbaboonistan, US, Turkey, Israel seem to overlook a few things:

              1. Though the Azeris are likely better trained and equipped presently than they were in the mid-90's; so are the Armenian forces. The Armenians have not been sitting around resting on their laurels. They have been training vigorously for defense and counter-attack. The Armenians know what tactic and material will work and have likewise been utilizing what they need.
              2. The Azeris spending billions and procuring modern, western armaments but they still cannot repair or modify most of it. Not to mention that a portion will most certainly be captured and used against them on the battlefield. Most certainly a good portion of their military budget is also now sitting in Swiss bank accounts.
              3. Armenians are buying equipment from Russia which they can repair and modify themselves. If the war starts again, you can be certain that they will be resupplied for free. The Azeris have purchased material used for attack whereas Armenians are purchasing material for defense. If I was fighting in defense to maintain a status quo, I would spend my money on air-defense, anti-tank equipment, etc.
              3. The Armenians are dug in a holding a defensive line {3 lines actually}. These lines have been reinforced for many years. The Azeris will have to hit hard and fast with overwhelming force. Even if they are able to penetrate the defensive lines at certain weak points they will be very prone to counter-attacks in wooded and mountainous areas/high ground. They will need at least 75% more men and equipment than the defender and have to quickly consolidate and re-supply their forces. If, and I mean "IF", the Azeris are successful during their initial attack, the counter attack will again push them back and if that does not work, their occupation will be short and very painful. In the case of the resumptions of wide-scale hostilities, which ever side attacks will have abundant casualties and any victory would be a costly one. The one weakness that the Armenians have is civilian areas close to the frontline. Yet, the Azeris should not overlook that Azeri civilian areas close to the front will also be hit in tandem thus creating more refugees.

                I don't think Armenia and Armenians are lulled into a false sense of security and we should not kid ourselves that a resumption of hostilities will be any less brutal than the first war, but I do believe the Armenian military has been working from the assumption that they will have to have all contingencies covered.

                  What would be the chances of Russia explicitly supporting and/or moving into Artsakh Georgia-style if the Azerbaboons invade?

                    Directly? Not sure. They will most likely continue to equip the Armenians and night help clandestinely. If the Azeris attack Armenia directly, they will are bound by CTSO treaty to help Armenia.

                      I don't see the Russians directly intervening except in an extraordinary case. If they did, they could kiss goodbye to any reapproachment with azerbaijan, but then again that may not matter cause Russia or Armenia would likely control azeri pipelines and/or baku.
                      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.
