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.

      Azerbaijan Says Karabakh Talks Last Chance For Deal

      November 21, 2009

      BAKU (Reuters) -- Azerbaijan said upcoming talks with Armenia on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict would be "decisive" and warned that its troops were ready to use force to take back the rebel region if they fail, Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev said.

      Aliyev meets his Armenian counterpart Serzh Sarkisian on November 22 in Munich for the latest in a string of meetings this year on the Armenian-populated mountain region, which broke away from Azerbaijan in the early 1990s.

      "That meeting must play a decisive role in the process of negotiations," Aliyev said late on November 20, in comments broadcast by state television today.

      "If that meeting ends without result, then our hopes in negotiations will be exhausted and then we are left with no other option," he said, saying Azerbaijan had the right to use force to take back the mountain region.

      "Azerbaijan is spending billions on buying new weapons, hardware, strengthening its position on the line of contact," he said at a meeting with Azerbaijani refugees from the conflict.

      "We are doing that because we never excluded and we do not exclude that option. We have the full right to liberate our land by military means."

      Aliyev frequently threatens force to take back the territory, at the heart of a key transit region for oil and gas to the West. But analysts doubt the readiness of oil-producing Azerbaijan to go to war.

      Ethnic Armenians in Nagorno-Karabakh, backed by Armenia, threw off Azeri rule in fighting that erupted as the Soviet Union headed towards its 1991 collapse. The Armenians took control of Nagorno-Karabakh and seven surrounding Azeri districts before a cease-fire was declared in 1994.

      Some 30,000 people died and more than 1 million were made homeless.

      The conflict has been thrust back into the diplomatic spotlight by an historic rapprochement this year between Armenia and Azerbaijan' ally Turkey, which closed its border with Armenia in 1993 in solidarity with Azerbaijan during the war.

      Ankara says it will only ratify accords with Yerevan, opening the border and establishing diplomatic relations with Armenia, if it sees progress in the talks on Nagorno-Karabakh.

        If it fails, I think the words of Winston Churchill are best used here: "Do your worst! And we shall do our best!"

          Armenia went from 55 thousand sq. km. to 29 thousand as about 10 thousand sq. km. by the end of 1920s was handed over to 'Azerbaijan' and the rest to 'Turkey' - territories that for millennia have been continuously Armenian inhabited and part of the Kingdom of Armenia. Most of Northern Artsakh as Kars Ardahan (during the genocide) have been cleansed of native Armenians.

          Northeastern (from the Armenian Tavush province that today the Azeris call "Tovuz"), and southeastern territories of Armenian Republic along with Armenian Artsakh (including northern Artsakh) were handed throughout the 1920s were gradually forcefully made part of "Azerbaijan." Look at borders of Artsakh or "Karabakh" along with Syunik territory of Armenia. It includes almost ALL of liberated territories that were naturally part of Armenian Artsakh and Syunik which today are claimed to be outside of the artificially drawn borders of "Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast."

            Do you know what Armenia's land size is now that we have Artsakh?
            Like without Artsakh our land mass is 29,000 sq km, how much is our
            land mass with Artsakh combined?

              RA (roughly 29,800 sq. km. ) + Artsakh (roughly 12,000 sq. km.) = about 42,000 sq. km which is about 8 percent of historic Armenia (Armenia Major, Armenia Minor and Cilician Armenia also known as Little Armenia) which was put forth by Prime Minister Poghos Nubar during the 1919 Paris Peace Conference.

                But only Turkey signed the Kars Treaty, Armenia did not,
                doesn't that make the document null or void?

                  Good luck with that.

                  It seems some 'progress' was made but the details are intentionally vague.

                  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.

                    Lets hope Sargsyan kept and keeps his ground, there's really nothing Azerbaijan can do if he does but there is a lot Azerbaijan can do if Sargsyan shows weakness and a willingness to concede land.

                      I agree, and I will be waiting to for more information to be made public before I form a opinion. From what I do know, I don't think Serj will be making any radical concessions to baku at worst it will be the madrid priciples with some modifications (hopefully pro Armenia ones). If somehow it is worse than madrid I wouldn't be suprised to see Serj and crew be removed from power somehow, even if Moscow is against this, I think the anti-Serj momentum would be too much.
