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.

        I feel more should be done in regards to moving these two societies closer togather so that they will feel that they are all the same people and the same nation. Only when this is achieved will we be able to claim final victory.

            24 Families Relocate to Kashatagh



            [ 2009/07/06 | 16:54 ] Nagorno Karabakh
            Anahit Danielyan

            Robert Metevosyan, head of the Kashatagh Regional Council’s Department of Resettlement, has announced that 24 new families have moved to the region in the first half of 2009 and that 32 families were granted resteelement status.

            Mr. Matevosyan stated that there was a net population increase due to natural causes of 82 during the period in question, which more or less corresponds to the overall net growth.

            According to 2009 first half figures, renovation projects amounting to143 million drams have been undertaken in Kashatagh and ten new homes for large families have been built.

            As in other regions of Karabakh, crop yields are low in Kashatagh. Of the 1,700 hectares cultivated for wheat and other grains, the average yiels is 10.7 centners (1 centner = 100 kilos) per hectare. The highest yields have been registered in Kovsakan at 21.6 centers per hectare.

            Due to poor weather conditions, there were no harvests on some 1,218 hectares of land.

              Jehovah’s Witnesses Denied Registration In Karabakh


              Authorities in Nagorno-Karabakh have refused to allow Jehovah’s Witnesses and another non-traditional religious group to legally operate in the self-proclaimed republic, citing their “methods of psychological influence” on the population.
              A new law adopted by the Karabakh parliament recently obligated all religious denominations to re-register with a government department on religious affairs and ethnic minorities within a six-month period. All but two faiths active in Karabakh have already been granted such registration.

              Ashot Sargsian, head of the department, told RFE/RL on Friday that activities of Jehovah’s Witnesses and the other group, called Rebirth of Fire, were effectively banned on the basis of a “negative expert conclusion.” “It is mainly conditioned by the fact that those religious organizations operate in Artsakh in violation of our laws,” Sargsian said, citing their “proselytism” and “methods of psychological influence.”

              Artur Ispirian, a Yerevan-based lawyer for Jehovah’s Witnesses, dismissed the explanation, saying that the Karabakh law does not define the term “proselytism.” Levon Sardarian, a local Fire of Rebirth leader, likewise denounced the government claims as “unfounded” and “ludicrous.” He said no Karabakh official has ever attended religious services held by his sect.

              Both Ispirian and Sardarian said the registration ban will be challenged in court. They also made clear that their religious organizations will not cease their activities in Karabakh in any case.

              “Will certainly continue to operate,” Sardarian told RFE/RL. “We are ready for any persecution.”

              Sargsian warned, however, both cults against any engaging in any “illegal activities.” “I’m sure the state would take strict sanctions,” he said. “First of all because, we have martial law in place.”

              Jehovah’s Witnesses has long been at odds with the authorities in both Karabakh and Armenia because of its perceived threat to the quasi-official Armenian Apostolic Church and strong opposition to compulsory military service. Dozens of its young male members have consciously gone to jail to avoid the two-year service.

              The imprisonments have continued even after Armenia enacted a law on alternative service in June 2004 under pressure from the Council of Europe. The Armenian government legalized Jehovah’s Witnesses in October 2004.

              Authorities in Nagorno-Karabakh have refused to allow Jehovah’s Witnesses and another non-traditional religious group to legally operate in the self-proclaimed republic, citing their “methods of psychological influence” on the population.

                Lebanese-Armenian Business Delegation Visits Kashatagh; Investments Planned
                [ 2009/08/10 | 15:30 ] Nagorno Karabakh economy
                Anahit Danielyan

                Today, NKR Prime Minister Arayik Harutyunyan met with representatives of Lebanon’s “ArtsakhFund” and a group of Lebanese-Armenian businessmen. The foreign delegations are in Karabakh to get acquainted with the investment climate and to carry out some specific projects to develop the economy in Kashatagh.

                The Lebanese-Armenian businessmen, heading the suggestion of PM Harutyunyan to launch a livestock distribution program in Kashatagh, toured the area and met with local residents to get a better idea of how such a project might best be realized. In their meeting with the prime minister they offered their suggestions and concerns.

                PM Harutyunyan told the visiting businessmen that the program would be carried out jointly by the “ArtsakhFund” and the NKR Ministry of Agriculture’s “Village and Agriculture Assistance Foundation”.

                “The government will carry the full weight of the risk by guaranteeing a total return of the loans,” PM Harutyunyan stated.

                During the meeting, it was suggested that the program start small and gradually grow in scope.

                  NKR Birthrate Up 16% in 2009
                  [ 2009/08/14 | 14:00 ] Nagorno Karabakh society
                  Anahit Danielyan

                  born_14.08.09During a press conference held yesterday, NKR National Statistics Agency Director Manoush Minasyan stated that during January-June of this year 1,306 babies were born in the country; a rise of 16% over the same period last year.

                  Mr. Minasyan attributed the rise to government programs designed to spur the birth rate and families raising three or more children. He stated that in the first half of 2009, families giving birth to three or more children had risen by 115 over last year.

                  Mr. Minasyan added that the number of deaths registered in the country during the first six months of 2009 was 634; a drop of 11.5% over 2008. Three cases of still-births were reported this year as compared to eight during the first half of last year.

                  He stated that there were no cases of mothers dying while giving birth and that the median age of females giving birth was twenty-seven and that the median age of first-birth moms was twenty-four.

                  Mr. Minasyan noted that marriages during the first half of 2009 dropped by 88.1% over the same period last year, arguing that this was the result of the state program to financially assist newly wedded couples to the tune of 300,000 AMD. He added that divorces have dropped by 29% so far this year.
