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.

Re: Armenia: Future Projects and Developments
Originally posted by bell-the-cat View PostTruthfully it is said - a nation's values is revealed in the quality of its architecture. The current predominant style in Russia is nicknamed "Luzhkov style" (after the deposed mayor of Moscow who was responsible for such a lot of it) and, just like during the tsarist period, the current Russian style is copied in Armenia. However, unlike those tsarist times, the current Russian product is garbage, and the current Armenian copies of the garbage don't contain even a semblance of local styles and influences.

Appetite for destruction http://www.newstatesman.com/arts-and...ssia-buildings
As much as a third of Moscow's historic architecture has been destroyed in the past few years. Hundreds of buildings have been cleared, by hook or by crook, to make way for glitzy shopping arcades, luxury flats, car parks. More than 400 of the city's listed buildings have gone since 1989. What is left is fast decaying."Moscow is run as a monopoly - as if it was a private company," says David Sarkisyan, director of the Shchusev State Museum of Architecture, who is one of the most prominent voices championing endangered buildings.Yuri Luzhkov, Moscow's mayor since 1992, has been likened by some to a blend of Bob Hoskins and James Cagney. He has thrived in the curious post-Soviet climate.Last edited by bell-the-cat; 01-22-2012, 10:02 AM.

The guy who paid for this extension is named Sergey Hambartsumyan (Ambartsumian). Born in 1952, in Kirovabad, he is a property-developer based in Moscow. He owns the MonArch construction firm which undertakes the majority of work by Glavmosstroy (the largest constuction firm in Moscow, owned by tycoon Oleg Deripaska - Ambartsumian was also its first vice-president after the formerly state-owned Glavmosstroy was bought by Deripaska). He was also deputy head of the Moscow Urban-Planning Department and was a close ally of the ex-mayor of Moscow Yury Luzhkov. Exactly how he went from earning "seven dollars a month" in 1994 to being a multimillionaire in under 10 years is unclear.Last edited by bell-the-cat; 01-22-2012, 09:43 AM.
