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.

  • Armenia: banking hub

    for Arab states in lieu of Lebanon??


    move towards becoming financial powerhouse?


    Yes, the diaspora can wire money to Armenia at a cost of exchange of approximately 35% in transfer fees. Wonder if this will apply for Arab depositors?

    Look forward to seeing what the Arab League and the OIC have to say about this former story.

    I doubt it. Dubai was already created a decade ago to replace Lebanon.
    The first requirement of attracting capitals is STABILITY.
    We are far from it. Arab money will come with burdens .... Lebanon was the "w-hore house" for Arabs. Something to consider.

      Good points Azad. Especially, about Dubai. You are spot on. Tigran Sargsyan needs to back away from the hookah pipe.

        Re: Armenia: banking hub

        Armenia is the most stable country in its region, and I am not just referring to azerbaijan and georgia, but turkey and Iran as well. People have been talking about how Armenia's economy is too dependent on foreign remitencies and the construction industry, so if Armenia were to become a regional hub for finance the better for our nation. Not only should Armenia strive to be the regional financial nation, but also a leader in IT, service industry, and industry. It wouldn't take as much as some think to start up a military industrial complex in Armenia, this is something the Diaspora along with the government should look into.
        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.

          You are showing your douchbagery again.

          What an imagination you have...35%!!!??? Why do you go out of your way lie about Armenia? You defame Armenia as if you were a Turk.

          I've transfered money to banks in Armenian on numerous occasions. The charge is 5% or 0.05 on the dollar.

            Re: Armenia: banking hub

            Which banks and when?? Your experiences appear to be an exception. The transfer rate experienced by most is more than the 5% you claim. Douchebag says what?

              It was Cascade bank in 2005, 2006 and 2007.

              Stop being an idiot. No legitmate banking operation can charge 35% in transfer fees. Not only is it probably illegal, it is not even close to being competetive.

                I'm taking about wiring funds. You know (e.g. Western Telegram). There can be no doubt that some in the diaspora feel that it is heavy handed to fund their relatives via wire.

                Obviously, the notion of the RA becoming a banking hub/financial center is in the incubator stage. http://www.azg.am/EN/2008052802

                All I can say is RA welcome to the OECD, FINCEN, FATF, FITSIC, etc.

                If you didn't like being regulated and poked about by odars (COE, OSCE, etc.), its only just begin if you desire to through your hat into the global banking arena.

                Rather than having such lofty notions, learn how to enforce and uphold your constitution. Otherwise, real global players won't take the RA seriously.

                Government officials and employee are not henchman for their party leaders, leader or their president. First and foremost their duty is to the nation and to uphold the constitution.
