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: Georgia Accused of Bullying Ethnic Armenians

    The current Armenian administration is not only corrupt but weak it seems. The Armenians could make mince meat of the Georgians yet they have chosen not to engage them as they, the Georgians, encroach into Armenia. There is no excuse for this. The Georgians are envious of the Armenian triumph in Artsakh while they themselves lost both Ossetia and Abkhazia. They make a measily $70mm on oil transit fees, enough to sell their souls. They have thrown in their lot with the Turks and Azeris. They claim to be a nation of warriors but they are in foolish drunkards and lousy soldiers. They talk a big game but cannot win on the battlefield. Armenians have had enough. Yes, things are difficult and the last thing Armenia needs is another war but our history shows us that when we come together and fight, we win. When we listen to outsiders to remain calm, work within the system and avoid war, we lose. It's time for Armenians to nip this in the bud. I'm living in the diaspora, so yes, it is easy for me to write these things. I only hope Armenians in Armenia realize what is at stake and what they must do. I, like other Armenians would love to see an alliance of Russians, Georgians and Armenians but as I've written above, the Georgians have betrayed not only us but themselves, they have aligned themselves with not only our, but their historical enemies and tormentors. They have gone out of their way to make life in Armenia difficult so they need to realize there is a price. Armenia can make their lives difficult too.

      They got what they deserved by the Russians in August,
      let's just hope this thing settles down or we should continue
      helping Russia.

If the Armenians can beat the Georgians in Javakh, they can then connect to Adjaria and the Black Sea and if the Abkhaz/Russian forces move south down the coast they can easily connect with the Armenians. This may seem like a distant dream but can be achieved should the Russian and Armenians fight again...which is coming closer everyday.
        Why do you think Russia didn't simply go all the way in that war and close off all of Georgia's connection to the Black Sea? It would have had a land connection with Armenia, which would have given it much better access to it's other important ally, Iran. It would have essentially controlled Caspian Oil since nothing would have been able to go through into the International market without it's consent....which means they would also have a lot more leverage towards Turkey in any future disagreement....everything would have pretty much gone in Moscow's favor. I'm pretty sure taking over the other half of Georgia's seaside land wouldn't be that tough...probably even easier than the first half since by then, the Georgian's had already retreated and weren't even making an effort to fight.


        If they had done so, I would have felt a lot better about Armenia's future, It would have secured a lot for Armenia.

          I accept: Georgian newspapers have barely mentioned the affair, and a high-ranking official at the interior minister said officials were deliberately not releasing a lot of material so as not to “make a lot of noise about this, as it is an isolated case of Russian spies trying to work in Samtskhe-Javakheti”.
          Some Armenian politicians, however, have been furious and said the arrests were an attempt to intimidate their ethnic kin in Georgia.
          Georgia’s state minister for re-integration Temur Lakobashvili said Russia had intensified espionage activities in the country since the August war over South Ossetia.

              No, just a fatal attraction with Israel. Georgia is/was not/never Europe.
