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.

    France has much higher birth rate then Armenia, France has the highest birth rate in the EU I believe.
    Armenia does have very very poor infrastructure. I hear from Armenians in Canada how they complain about the lack of infrastructure and lack of opportunities in Armenia.
    Armenia needs its young population to help it develop but that is not the case.
    FYI: France’s high birth rate is attributed to the 10% of its Muslim population, and they are trying to do something with it. Because as statistics show during this century, with this trend, France will become a country with predominantly Muslim population. By the way John I wonder whether you are Muslim or Christian?

    Please explain me from your rich scientific point of view. Why the developed/rich countries suffer much worse demographic crisis, among their wealthy indigenous population, than the “poor” Armenia does?

      Birth rates don't need to rise to much in Armenia until everything is developed to it's potential, otherwise these kids will just grow up to migrate to another country
      Ara, the poorer nations that have 4-10 children is due to the fact that they are usually uneducated. The more educated and the middle class usually tend to have less children.

        I agree 100% look at the Kurds for an example, I mean
        most of the Kurdish families have 5-10 children, but
        look at their educational, economic, and infastructrial
        situations they're poor in all three categories.

          I heard in one clip on You Tube that Kurds have so many children so that the Turks can't exterminate them all (obvious reference to Armenian Genocide and so forth).

              Most live in Northern Iraq, Western Armenia, Iran,
              Armenia, and they have a diaspora in the rest of the world.

                  @gegev you asked a very silly question just think about what you write before writing it. Of course I am not Muslim don't be so callow. I am Catholic.

                  I can ask the same question about you in fact, are you muslim?

                  In terms of France's birth rate whether they are muslim or not is irrelevant to a countries population growth. If the birth rate grows at a stable rate there should be no problem.

                    Armenia in “demographic pit”
                    23.10.2009 20:00 GMT+04:00
                    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ “Armenia is suffering demographic crisis. Compared with 2002 results, Armenia has registered a birth-rate growth. But 2002 was a crisis year, so actually the growth is not significant. According to 1986 results, 81 200 babies were born in Armenia, in 2002 their number fell to 32 000. Decreased marriage rate also brought to a slump in natality,” demographer Ruben Yesayan said at October 23 news conference. According to him, population size reduction will be obvious in about 30 years, with mortality rate increasing.

                    Expressing his agreement with Ruben Yesayan, Demography Department Head at RA Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs Vanik Babajanyan character the situation as a “demographic pit”.

                    According to him, demographic issues in Armenia are on RA government’s priority agenda.

                    Under existing RA laws, the state provides one-time childbirth allowances in the amount of AMD 50 thousand, in addition to monthly payments in the amount of AMD 12 thousand, issued till the child reaches the age of 2. The third child is granted one-time allowance of AMD 430 thousand.

                      ARMENIAN POPULATION ENDANGERED

                      news.am
                      May 6 2010
                      Armenia

                      The present demographic situation in Armenia arouses serious
                      concern. If the current population growth rates continue, the Armenian
                      population will reduce twice in 40-45 years, Gayane Avagyan, Senior
                      Specialist, Maternity and Child Care Department, RA Ministry of Health,
                      told a press conference.

                      As regards population growth, Armenia ranks 205th among 229 countries,
                      she said. "For the present population size to be preserved each family
                      has to have at least two children, while three and more children have
                      to be born for the population to increase," Avagyan said. She pointed
                      out that Armenian women most often have children at the age of 25-32,
                      and men at the age of 25-35. However, social reasons cause the age
                      limits to rise.

                      Speaking of the problem of sterility, she pointed out a considerable
                      reduction in sterility rate in Armenia recently. Specifically,
                      the primary sterility rate is 5.3% for women and 2.7% for men. The
                      second sterility rate is 11% and 2.6% respectively. Among the
                      causes are infections, endocrine diseases and impotence. Only 8% of
                      the cases are considered incurable. Avagyan said that treatment of
                      sterility and artificial insemination are expensive. She hopes that
                      the Government will be able to subsidize the treatment of socially
                      vulnerable families.

                      The experts pointed out that the Government has budgeted funds for
                      women during childbirth and post-childbirth period. "Women receive
                      50,000 AMD after having the first child and 450,000 after having the
                      third. Also, the monthly child benefit is 18,000 AMD," Avagyan said.

                      She pointed out that the Government's measures are aimed to increase
                      birthrate. Avagyan also reported that cesarean births constitute
                      13-14 per cent in Armenia.

                      As regards cancer, particularly cervical carcinoma, she said that
                      necessary analyses are made free of charge. Also, vaccination is
                      available for women. "We intend to purchase vaccines and carry out
                      compulsory vaccination of teenagers aged 15-16," Avagyan said.
