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.

    Diaspora representatives want to erect world's largest cross in Armenia

    13:45, 06.01.2015


    YEREVAN. - Armenian authorities will help to choose location if
    Armenian communities agree to install the world's largest cross in
    Armenia, Diaspora Minister Hranush Hakobyan toldArmenian News-NEWS.am.

    The Armenian communities of France and Lebanon have an intention to
    install the world's largest cross.

    "The authors of the project will decide on the amount of investments
    by themselves, but the Diaspora representatives should first
    coordinate the projects with Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II,"
    she said.

    Asked about her attitude towards the initiative, the Minister said she
    cannot have negative opinion on something "that is related to
    Christianity, will promote tourism in Armenia and will make Armenia
    popular in the world".

    It seems like the dim wittedness runs in Armenia too
    Clearly in a year of projected recession this is what we need to stop an economic crisis.

          New Player To Enter Armenian Mining Sector


          Armenia - Open-pit mining at Teghut copper deposit, 20Dec2014.

          Emil Danielyan
          Հրապարակված է՝ 15.05.2015


          The Armenian government has given the green light to the construction of a new metallurgical plant which officials say will create more than 1,000 jobs and recycle industrial waste from other mining enterprises generating much of Armenia’s export revenue.

          The privately owned facility is to extract ore from several “tailings” dumps in southeastern Syunik province that mainly belong to the Zangezur Copper and Molybdenum Combine (ZCMC), the country’s largest mining company.

          The ZCMC’s principal shareholder, the German metals group Cronimet, signed last October a corresponding memorandum of understanding with the government and two other, little-known firms: VSEI Ventures Group and Alyotig. The latter is apparently based in Armenia, while VSEI might be connected with VS Energy International, a Dutch-registered holding company controlled by Russian and Ukrainian investors.

          A government statement released on May 7 said Alyotig will be primarily in charge of the project envisaging the construction of a tailings-processing plant in Syunik that will cost $240 million. Some 1,000 permanent and 500 temporary jobs are to be created during the first phase of the project’s implementation, which will run through 2019.

          “The project is quite good and we hope that [its first phase] will be fully implemented in the next two or three years,” Energy and Natural Resources Minister Yervand Zakharian told reporters on Wednesday. He said work on the recycling facility will start in the coming months.

          Zakharian shed no light on the owners of the new mining operation or the source of their promised investments.

          Government permission given to the project took the form of a special draft law that was approved by Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamian’s cabinet on May 7. It is not yet clear when the government plans to push the bill through the parliament.

          Zakharian and other officials have argued that the new plant will not only create jobs and boost output in the Armenian mining industry but also stem the decades-long growth of tailings dumps and ponds in Syunik. Hazardous leaks through their protective dams and pipes leading to them have not been uncommon.

          According to government estimates, the ZCMC’s tailings storage facilities alone have over 300 million tons of mining waste containing non-ferrous metals.

          Mining and metallurgy is a key manufacturing sector of Armenia’s economy, employing more than 10,000 people and accounting for nearly half of Armenian exports, which totaled just over $1.5 billion in 2014.

          The mining industry received a major boost in December with the inauguration of an ore-processing plant in the Teghut forest in the northern Lori province. The factory reportedly employing 1,300 people was built as part of a $380 million project to mine copper and molybdenum, which has been fiercely resisted by Armenian environment protection groups. Open-pit mining at Teghut will lead to the destruction of 357 hectares of rich forest.

          Earlier in December, the government gave its final approval to a British company seeking to develop untapped gold reserves in the southeastern Vayots Dzor province. The company, Lydian International, plans to invest over $300 million in the Amulsar operation.

            Another f*cking church. This one built in Artashat by our PM Hovik Abrahamyan, apparently since 2003. The name? Obviously St. Hovhannes.

              You can't be serious with this stuff again. This is what you get when operating in a feudal system and the peasants just hope for the lords to sprinkle some of their ill gotten wealth in their random direction.

              At the very least if you're gonna spend your money in this way, put it into preserving the many historic churches in Armenia that need the attention and which are full of our history and have the potential to attract tourists. Not another generic church, identical copies of which already probably exists within 5km in every direction. And of course it is named Hovhannes.

              Just how many people could have been employed in viable businesses with the money wasted here...

                      I always get sick from drinking the water there and eating fruit. I wish there was a way to avoid it besides not drinking and especially not eating fruit.
