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.

    M. GORBACHEV: NOW IT'S IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE KARABAKH AS PART OF AZERBAIJAN

    Panorama.am
    15:11 06/03/2010

    Politics

    "I suggested granting Karabakh a status of a republic. Azerbaijan's
    former authorities - Vezirov - seemed to be inclined to agree, but
    later he didn't. The problem might have been possible to solve then,
    but now it's impossible to see Karabakh as part of Azerbaijan,"
    the USSR President Mikhail Gorbachev told reporters in Moscow.

    He highlighted the bellicose statements and urged not to allow a new
    war in Karabakh: talks should be held.

    "There is no other way out. War should be excluded, otherwise big
    powers will be involved in it, too," Gorbachev said.

    He stressed the conflicts like Karabakh have no winners generally,
    agreement should have been reached and still "in late 80ies we could
    have somehow settled Karabakh issue."

    Gorbachev recalled the grave condition Karabakh was in in 1980ies,
    though, the authorities paid no attention to it, even the communication
    with Yerevan was impossible due to the lack of economic means.

    "To, me Karabakh should have been supported and grated a status. It
    should have been supported economically so that contact with Yerevan
    could be established," M. Gorbachev said.

      NKR PRESIDENT MEETS THE MINSK GROUP CO-CHAIRS

      armradio.am
      29.03.2010 10:35

      On March 28 President of the Artsakh Republic Bako Sahakyan met
      Co-Chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group Robert Bradtke (USA), Yuri Merzlyakov
      (Russian Federation) and Bernard Fassier (France), Central Information
      Department of the Office of the NKR President reported.

      Issues related to the current stage and prospects of the
      Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict settlement were discussed during the
      meeting.

      The Head of State once again underlined that without the full
      participation of the Artsakh Republic it would be impossible to reach
      final and comprehensive settlement of the conflict.

      President Sahakyan noted that unconstructive, militaristic approaches
      of Azerbaijan and its denial of mutual confidence initiatives are
      the pivotal hindrances on the way of the conflict settlement. The
      President underlined that independence and security of Artsakh are
      not subjects to any speculations and any attempt to bring back the
      past are pregnant with unpredictable consequences.

      The President of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic reiterated Artsakh's
      adherence to peaceful settlement of the conflict within the frameworks
      of the Minsk Group. The co-chairs also underlined that any scenario
      of military solution of the conflict is absolutely unacceptable.

      Touching upon the Armenian-Turkish relations, the President noted
      that this process does not have any relations to the settlement of
      the Karabakh conflict and attempts to tie up these processes cast
      negative impact both processes leading them to an impasse.

      Issues related to the situation along the line contact were also
      discussed at the meeting.

        NO THREAT OF HOSTILITIES, NKR DEFENSE MINISTER STATES

        news.am
        March 30 2010
        Armenia

        The Azerbaijani leaders' bellicose statements must not be viewed as an
        imminent threat of war, Minister of Defense of the Nagorno-Karabakh
        Republic (NKR) Movses Hakonyan stated in his interview with the
        Goyamart (Battle) TV program.

        "The NKR Defense Army controls the front line with greater confidence
        than before and takes retaliatory measures," Hakobyan said. He stressed
        that no grounds for resuming hostilities are available.

        According to the Minister, the situation on the frontline has not
        changed in any way since the ceasefire was established.

        Hakobyan is sure that the NKR Defense Army would gain victory even
        if hostilities were resumed. "In all the wars victories were gained
        by the nations that fought national wars. This is a guarantee of our
        victory," the Minister said.

        Hakobyan said that regular military maneuvers involving reservists
        enable the NKR Defense Army Command to maintain the army's combat
        readiness.

                Armenia Fund Completes Reconstruction of Shushi Library
                New plans include digitizing entire book collection




                For Immediate Release ~ February 22, 2011

                Contact: Sarkis Kotanjian ~ 818-243-6222

                Yerevan, Armenia – Earlier this year, the Shushi Library began operating in a completely renovated and newly furnished space. The transformation of the venerable landmark, at a cost of approximately $227,000, was sponsored by the Armenia Fund U.S. Western Region.

                The library now is poised to function as not only an extraordinary destination for reading and research, but a hub for a range of educational and cultural events. It will serve Shushi, Stepanakert, and nearby rural communities, helping enrich the lives of students and the population at large.

                The renovation project has resulted in a complete makeover of the library, which comprises a two-story main building and a single-level administrative unit, with a total area of 624 square meters. Both structures were reinforced and rebuilt around new floor plans, the roofs were replaced, and the floors were covered variously with ceramic tiles and hardwood. Improvements also include the installation of up-to-date electrical and climate-control systems.

                The administrative building consists of an entrance hall and four offices. The main building comprises a large reading hall, a storehouse, and a basement used for various library needs.

                The people of Shushi have long cherished the dream of seeing their city restored and teeming with Armenian life, says Mikayel Khachatryan, deputy head of the Shushi Administration. Today that dream is becoming reality, through key improvements including rebuilt roads and the refurbished roofs of over ten apartment complexes as well as ongoing redevelopment projects such as the renovation of the Shushi Cultural Center and the Abovyan School, and installation of an internal potable-water network.

                Khachatryan has high hopes that the Shushi Library will regain its former stature as a regional intellectual center. In the Soviet era, he says, the library had up to 60 visitors a day. Moreover, it hosted a regular stream of lectures and book presentations featuring renowned authors and scholars. All that came to a grinding halt with the onset of the Artsakh War. In 1992, when the residents of Shushi returned to their native city, what they found was utter devastation. Their beloved library, like all of Shushi’s once-vibrant institutions, was far from being able to resume its activities.

                Now that the library has received a new lease on life, its management is hard at work to optimize it. The library’s book collection, comprising over 16,500 volumes, will shortly be moved back to the renovated premises, after having been temporarily stored at the Muratsan School. The management has already taken steps to considerably expand the collection. Another significant addition will be realized thanks to Moscow-based ethnographer Karen Yuzbashyan, who has donated his private collection of ethnographic studies, totaling 265 pieces, to the library.

                Currently the library employs a staff of seven, with plans to expand it in the near future. One critically important position the management is seeking to create is that of a bibliographer. Another top priority is to digitize the entire book collection.

                “One after the other, redevelopment projects launched in 2009 are coming to fruition,” says Ara Vardanyan, executive director of the Hayastan All-Armenian Fund. “And with the completion of every single initiative, we feel proud for bringing hope and joy to Shushi, as we continue to do our share in helping restore and beautify this magnificent city-fortress of our ancestors.”

                  Artsakh Prime Minister on Working Visit to Lebanon
                  [ 2011/03/02 | 16:18 ] Nagorno Karabakh diaspora

                  Resettlement and repatriation of liberated territories top issues

                  Republic of Artsakh Prime Minister Arayik Haroutyunyan is currently on a working visit to Lebanon.

                  Yesterday, PM Haroutyunyan met with religious and political leaders of the Armenian community. Catholicos Aram I of the Great House of Cilicia hosted a reception for the visiting Artsakh government official yesterday. PM Haroutyunyan then paid a visit to the Armenian Embassy in Beirut and fielded questions from local reporters.

                  During the press conference, PM Haroutyunyan noted that resettlement and repatriation were ket components of Artsakh government policy.

                  “Those compatriots of ours who wish to resettle on liberated lands will be allocated land and credit assistance from the government,” he said, adding that the regions of Kashatagh and Karavatchar were of prime importance due to their strategic value.

                  PM Haroutyunyan stressed that any final settlement of the Karabakh issue was up to the people of Artsakh and the will of the entire Armenian nation.

                  “Regardless of what negotiations take place, Artsakh and the entire Armenian nation will have the final say-so on the matter.”
