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.

      Both should exist. Does anyone have numbers on how much road construction in Armenia costs? How much would a 60 mile long Autobahn cost? Aren't the majority of the supplies something Armenia doesn't have to import?

        In Hospital transfers normally airlift is reserved for critical patience who are in danger of loosing their lives. Loosing an arm is not in that catagory unless you are rich.....I used to fly for an air ambulance.

          I understand your point but to get anywhere from kharabagh fast you need a chopper since the terrein is so rugged thus they should make airlifts more available because they are needed there more then in other places.

            Nagorno Karabakh: The Black Garden (PHOTOS)

            Posted: 01/27/2012 7:00 am

            If you're looking for an adventure through largely unknown territory, Nagorno Karabakh, a landlocked autonomous region between Armenia and Azerbaijan, is the place to go. A country recognized by no one, it's the kind of place that's so contested that not only does it not have an embassy anywhere, but its "Office of Permanent Representation" in Armenia doesn't even ask if you want your visa pasted into your passport. They know you don't, so they just attach it with a paper clip.

            Once you make it to Karabakh (which is only accessible through Armenia), stay at the recently-built Armenia Hotel in the capital, Stepanakert, and use the city as your base to explore the region.

            Feast on shish kebob and grilled vegetables. Go to the local market where an old Armenian woman will fry you a piece of jengyalov hatz, a bread stuffed with 13 types of herbs, on a burning hot griddle.

            While in Stepanakert, visit the Museum of Fallen Soldiers, where the walls are lined with photographs the Armenians who died during the 1990-1994 war with Azerbaijan.

            Don't miss the Gandzasar Monastery, meaning "hilltop treasure," built in the 10th century. Visit at night when the lighting gives this ancient church a ghostly presence.

            To explore the countryside, use the Janapar hiking trail, which will take you through snow-topped mountains and fields of yellow and red flowers.

            "Karabakh and Armenia have always had footpaths used by natives to get from one village to the next, to monasteries and to trade routes," said Raffi Kojian, who designed the trail in 2007. "Shepherds have created a network as well, to graze the animals. The Janapar is a weaving of these many paths to form one long route for visitors who want to experience some of the best Karabakh has to offer. Hikers will meet lots of helpful and curious locals along the route, and no doubt experience some of the legendary hospitality."

            The trail is designed to end at a different village each night, so you can easily plan accommodations. If you're staying with a local, don't be surprised if you're offered homemade mulberry vodka with breakfast. Drink up.

                    First and most important discovery made in Tigranakert

                    Thursday, July 24, 2014

                    The excavations of Tigranakert in Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh) have
                    resumed recently headed by the Doctor of Historical Sciences, head of
                    archaeological expedition in Tigranakert Hamlet Petrosyan, informs the
                    Department of Tourism and Historic Preservation of the NKR government.

                    The excavation process is held in 3 main locations: the northern fence
                    of the fortified region, the first antique district and Early
                    Christian northern square yard. The excavation area is about 500
                    square meters with an average depth of 2.5 meters.

                    The first and the most significant discovery has already been recorded
                    in Tigranaker, the tomb that is being excavated in the east of the
                    altar of a newly discovered early Christian church. It has a west-east
                    direction, almost square grave-hall, vaulted ceiling, in the northern
                    and southern walls there are longitudinal cavities built for
                    installing the relics. The whole of the building is built in blocks,
                    with the help of a whitewash. In the early Christian culture of
                    Armenia this monument is the third for its well preserved condition
                    after the royal tomb found in Aghtsq (Armenia) and the tomb of
                    Grigoris found in Amaras (Armenia).

                    The excavation will make it possible to certify one more, new building
                    of this kind, as well as to record and to give real historical bases
                    to the true process and details of the religious reform made by the
                    Vachagan the Pious king of Hayaghvank who has reigned in the second
                    half of the 5th century AD.

                      Strong Economic Growth Reported in Artsakh

                      STEPANAKERT (RFE/RL)—Economic growth in Nagorno-Karabakh has averaged about 10 percent annually in the past several years and will continue unabated in 2015, according to the authorities in Stepanakert.

                      Ara Harutiunian, Artsakh’s Prime Minister, made upbeat macroeconomic forecasts on Thursday as his cabinet pushed through the republic’s parliament its budget for next year envisaging a sizable increase in public spending.

                      The spending target of 88.1 billion drams ($192 million) is based on a projection that the Karabakh economy will expand by 9 percent in 2015.

                      “A real GDP increase of 9 percent in 2015 and rapid growth in following years are expected to result from the development of energy, agriculture, light industry, food processing, mining, information technology and other sectors,” Harutiunian told lawmakers, according to the Artsakhpress news agency.

                      According to the most recent official data, Artsakh’s GDP, equivalent to over $410 million in 2013, increased in real terms by about 8 percent in January-September 2014 thanks to more than 21 percent rises in industrial output and construction. The two sectors generated between them 58 percent of GDP.

                      By contrast, the local agricultural sector contracted by as much as 23 percent in the nine-month period apparently because of severe consequences of a blizzard that swept through Armenia and Karabakh in late March. The sector accounted for only one-quarter of economic activity in Artsakh, which used to be heavily dependent on agriculture.

                      In Harutiunian’s words, recent years’ growth has translated into thousands of new jobs in republic still recovering from the 1991-1994 war of independence from Azerbaijan. “The total number of employed workers rose from 41,000 in 2007 to 50,300 in 2014,” he said.

                      Thousands of other, mostly male Karabakh Armenians are part of the local military closely integrated with Armenia’s armed forces.

                      Harutiunian emphasized that annual subsidies from the Armenian government will finance 52 percent of Karabakh’s 2015 budgetary spending, down from 60 percent in 2007 and 73 percent in 2000. He said that a large part of the budgetary transfers from Yerevan are taxes collected from goods imported to Artsakh from outside Armenia. This means, he said, that Artsakh is not as financially dependent on Armenia as many people think.

                      Harutiunian further stressed the fact that state revenue is projected to rise substantially in 2014 despite decreased tax contributions from Artsakh’s largest corporate taxpayer, the Base Metals company mining copper and gold in the northern Martakert district.

                      Base Metals, which is part of Armenia’s Vallex Group mining giant, is increasingly switching its operations to a new and larger ore deposit in Martakert. Its production volumes should therefore grow in the coming years.

                      According to official statistics, the average monthly salary in Karabakh rose by 20 percent year on year to 130,400 drams ($300) in September, compared with 173,000 drams in Armenia. The Armenian economy has grown far more slowly since 2010.
