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.

      Re: Kocharian Visits Karabakh

      I am beginning to see a sad and common trend amongst some uninformed Armenians, when they are unable to engage in intelligent discourse they merely discount their opposing colleagues with personal attacks.

        If NKR is another country, then under the constitution in place when Robert was elected president, his presidency is unconstitutional. The color revolution already occurred. You have Soviets running Armenia. No?

        How is it that retorts against me do not go beyond the ad hominem. Oppose what I said intelligently.
        Artsakh is Armenia -- whatever NKR may or may not be recognized as, has no bearing on anything.

          I agree with you Skhara that Artaskh is Armenia but I do not agree that its recognition, or, not, has no bearing.

          The concept of its independence is senseless. Its borders are protected not wholly of its own forces, it lacks a viable infrastructure that but for foreign aid what be all but non-existent and, its economy, if you may call it that, is the result mostly of outside investment.

          I still await an intelligent response to my questions posed above. For some reason, no one is able to engage in any type of meaningful discourse.

            I'm not familiar with your views on Artsakh, so I may ask questions that you have previously answered.
            1. What do you think that the recognition would mean i.e. in practical terms?
            2. Are you for a two republic model or single republic model?
            (A two republic model can be considered just an organizational - or formal - detail.)

            Just curious, what was the question?
            What if I find someone else when looking for you? My soul shivers as the idea invades my mind.

              I think the answer to the second question answers the first: one republic model.

              Annex Artsakh back into Armenia so that Armenia may properly be united and whole and enjoy an ROI (socially, economically, politically) for the sacrifices made by freedom fighters and Armenians in the late 80s and early 90s.

              Siamanto, as to the other questions, start at post #1 in this thread and scroll down. They are there.

                Because the best solution is for NKR to become an independent state first (as far as United Nations as well as Azerbaijan agreeing to it). Then once it's independent, it will 'decide' to join Armenia. It's not easy for Armenia to get international support by just holding on to the lands by force, it's much easier if NKR's own residents declare independence.. like happened with kosovo. Then as an independent country, they'll have the right to decide to merge with Armenia.

                  Re: Kocharian Visits Karabakh

                  I am not a politician and I might have a narrow view on that but nevertheless if I may say...
                  Armenia find itself in difficult political, economical, geographical situation in state of frozen war.
                  The Q is what sort of choice it has and what is the best way forward?

                  Pro Russian choice is more clear to me. Here are some advs. and disadvs.

                  Advantages;
                  - We can maintain statues quo on Arthak. If war restart Russia will not allow Turkey active participation on Azeri side. Don't need to tell you what will it mean for Armenia Turkeys invasion.
                  - Economical grows. Russia invests in Armenia.
                  - The largest Armenian diaspora in the world is in Russia, over a million people.
                  - Russia is a Christian country.

                  Disadvantages;
                  - Armenia finds itself in kind of iron embrace of Russia and dose often what is not really in it's interest.
                  - Russia basically views Armenia as it's own territory/base.
                  - Common Russians mostly dislike our kind of people and culture, considering us inferior.

                  Can anyone tell what West can propose to Armenia if anything at all?

                    Never said anything about the American-Armenians I said you weren't an Armenian those are two diffrent things. Because when an Armenian can't understand that when Artskah becomes independent means xxxx, because there no borders between Armenia and Artsakh. And that BS about Kharabacik makes me xxxxing sick, that there could be someone who doesn't think that they Armenian. So I've never said anything abou the Armenian Americans only about you.

                      If Artshak will unite with Armenia it will make things simpler for Armenians (personally for it), easier to “understand and digest”, lesser bureaucracy.
                      But some politicians suggest to let Artshak be an independent country, as region might see a faster economical growth. I even heard some suggestions to let Armenia be pro Russian and Artshak pro western, diaspora orientated. Maybe not a bad idea let western diaspora invest in Artshak and hopefully populate afterwards.
