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.

  • Experts: Nagorno-Karabakh needs EU action.

    UPI International Intelligence, June 17, 2009 pNA
    Experts: Nagorno-Karabakh needs EU action.
    Full Text: COPYRIGHT 2009 United Press International

    WASHINGTON, June 17 (UPI) -- The European Union should intervene in disputes over Nagorno-Karabakh in order to avert dramatic regional consequences, analysts suggest.

    War broke out between Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh in the early 1990s, and the regional fallout from that row remains tense despite a 1994 cease-fire.

    Azerbaijan is spending some $2 billion on its military, which eclipses the entire federal budget for Armenia. Meanwhile, Armenia is asking for self-determination over the region, while Azerbaijan demands Armenian troops leave and allow Nagorno-Karabakh to remain Azeri territory.

    A review of the situation by The Atlantic Council, a Washington think tank, said it is likely Europe would have a role in the aftermath of any conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh and should therefore play a role in mediation.

    "If Europe is to become the main implementer and guarantor of a peace deal, Europe also needs to be a part of the deal-making process," the analysis suggests.

    A conflict has the potential to pit Turkey and Russia against Europe and the United States in a row that has a distinct possibility of rippling through the regional energy sector.

    Europe, the Council suggests, should therefore use its influence to coerce Yerevan to abandon its military presence while making key decisions on Azeri territorial integrity.

    Brussels needs to use lessons learned from past regional disputes to "become an active peacemaker in the conflict between Armenia and Azerbaijan," the report says.
    "All truth passes through three stages:
    First, it is ridiculed;
    Second, it is violently opposed; and
    Third, it is accepted as self-evident."

    Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)

    Sounds like an Azeri bias to me....I assume they want to Stalin to come back from the grave and do the hand over.

      Silly "experts", just give the land to Armenia and there will be no disputes, honestly how hard is it comprehend, Armenians don't want to be part of Azerbaijan (for such simple reasons as a hatred of having their pregnant women disembolwed a la Sumgait), every nation has the right to self determination, so therefore just let Armenians live in peace, I'm not an "expert", why can I reason that?

        Just like our friend hipeter said it above, the man eating beast "azeris" want our lands to be given to them just like I spit in his grave Stalin gave it away our sacred lands as a gift to the man eating beast "azeris".

        Just for the record; does anybody know how many of our brave men of arms died to regain our Artsakhyan lands back? And overall how many innocent souls were the victims of barbaric attacks and killed from 1988 through 1993?

          Re: Experts: Nagorno-Karabakh needs EU action.

          Okay, Pedro shall post what he can find :

          Maragha :

          “Maraghar: the name of this village is associated with a massacre which never reached the world’s headlines, although at least 45 Armenians died cruel deaths. During the CSI mission to Nagorno Karabakh in April, news came through that a village in the north, in Martakert region, had been overrun by Azeri-Turks on April 10 and there had been a number of civilians killed. A group went to obtain evidence and found a village with survivors in a state of shock, their burn-out homes still smoldering, charred remains of corpses and vertebrae still on the ground, where people had their heads sawn off, and their bodies burnt in front of their families. 45 people had been massacred and 100 were missing, possibly suffering a fate worse than death. In order to verify the stories, the delegation asked the villagers if they would exhume the bodies which they had already buried. In great anguish, they did so, allowing photographs to be taken of the decapitated, charred bodies. Later when asked about publicizing the tragedy, they replied they were reluctant to do so as ‘ we Armenians are not very good at showing our grief to the world’.

          Baku :

          Beginning on January 13, 1990, a repetition of the pogroms of Sumgait was carried out in Baku against Armenians. Armenians were thrown to their deaths from the balconies of upper-story apartments. Around 90 Armenians were murdered in the pogroms. The Popular Front of Azerbaijan claimed that the pogroms were the result of "Armenian aggression." [2] The Popular Front instigated the attacks and local authorities did nothing to stop the violence. Baku's 300,000 Armenians hastily escaped.

          Sumgait :

          The Sumgait pogrom (also known as the Sumgait Massacre or February Events) was an Azeri-led pogrom that targeted the Armenian population of the seaside town of Sumgait (Azerbaijani: Sumqayıt) in Soviet Azerbaijan during February 1988. On February 27, 1988, large mobs made up of ethnic Azeris formed into groups that went on to attack and kill Armenians both on the streets and in their apartments; widespread looting and a general lack of concern from police officers allowed the situation to worsen. The violent acts in Sumgait were unprecedented in scope in the Soviet Union and attracted a great deal of attention from the media in the West. The massacre came in light of the Nagorno-Karabakh movement that was gaining traction in the neighboring Armenia SSR. The official death toll released by the Procurator General (tallies were compiled based on lists of named victims) was 32 people (26 Armenians and 6 Azeris). However, eyewitnesses reported a much larger number. Many insist that at least 200, not 30, people were killed. [
