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.

"IF THE ARMENIANS WISH, THEY CAN CONQUER AZERBAIJAN"

Never.
Unless the world falls headfirst into a global war such as the one seen 60 years ago. And maybe if Turkey and USA and Russia and Georgia lose 99.999% of their military in a freak dimensional anomaly.
Which is highly unlikely at this point.
Even if it were so, why would Armenia want to attack its neighbors? Maybe Azerbaijani scenario would be more succesful, but the highly mobile, and disciplined Turkish 3rd army (Eastern Provinces) would counter-pulverize any attempt. You can't expect 50,000 (maximum optimistic view for the next quarter-century) rag-tag Armenian militia to win over 500,000 (minimum for the next ten years) state of the art Turkish troops.
Instead of war, a smarter choice would be to channel those resources into farming and development. Because let's face it, as rich as the Armenian lobby may be in the States, the Armenian people are starving. Trade, investment, industry are better choices for a bright Armenian future. Instead of a meaningless expansionist war.
Maybe it's time the Armenians in the US stopped getting fat, and helped their homeland brethren prosper.

By nature, Armenians are ambitious people... I've never met a lazy Armenian in my life, especially when it comes to business and being entrepreneur. I live in Southern California which has a LOT of Armenians in it, and to be honest, most of them are NOT well off and live modest lives. Also, a lot of these Armenians are first generation immigrants. Now, I also know Armenians who's families have been here two sometimes three generations already. Almost ALL of them are very well off. Perhaps these same "lower class" Armenians that populate Van Nuys will grow into sucessful people, if not them, their children will. Like I said... I've never seen a lazy Armenian.
Now, what I'm getting at is that if Armenians by and large are sucessful people... would a "return to Armenian" movement be beneficial to the economy or not? Armenia's biggest economic problem right now is the lack of jobs as well as decreasing population... which ironically go hand in hand with each other. If relatively well off diasporans move back to Armenia, would the invested interest reinvigorate the country or not? People always say it's said that everyone's leaving Armenians... but if everyone returns, could it really support us?"All I know is I'm not a Marxist." -Karl Marx

At this point with the current state of Armenia, Armenian politics, and the real problem the mafia, there is no way Armenia can even support a significant amount of its people returning home. A few hundred thousand at best, not the millions of Spyoork.
Off what Hye Jinx said about middle class, low class and potentionally upper class/rich people.
Just look at the difference between the Armenians on the east coast and west coast, we all on the west coast live pretty much modest lives, middle class and such, but man from what I've seen of east coast Armenians, most are upper upper class, or just plain old upper class. I agree give it time, we will prosper even more.

Yea, Armenians have beenm on the east coast longer than the west coat, che? I also think these same "rabiz good for nothings" will be owning law firms and real estate agencies within the next 25 years. However, can rich Armenians save Armenia? Is money, wisely invested, all we need?"All I know is I'm not a Marxist." -Karl Marx

No of course the country needs to be repopulated, but it's going to be hard, everyone sees how bad it is, and most people still in the worse scenerios here live cozy lives. Now if somehow something dramatic happened and the country made a 180 and became more umm clean I guess, I can see certain people moving back, but there's too many stories of people moving there and losing everything, because they got ripped off by you know who.
There is also the fact of assimilation, how long before the estimated 7* million stays stangant or even goes down.
