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.

    Armenia - Iran Gas Pipeline

    Source1
    Source2
    Source3

    There is a serious consideration to build a gas pipe between Armenia and Iran.
    It seems that the Russian company Gazprom,which is doing a monoply in Russia on the gas business, is opposed on this coorporation , since they are the only company which provided has to Armenia.Let's hope something good will come out of this,and the money from the agreement will go to the people and not somewhere else.

    true I beleive in strengethening ties w/ Iran. I always thought they were a bunch of nut jobs. But recently talking to the people here in Armenia; we already do a lot of trade w/ Iran, and Iran is a "zargatsats yergir" and there are a lot of Armenians living there who are helping Iran's economy already.

      The problem is that Armenia and Russia have agreement, that that the diameter of the pipe will be small , and the gas that we will take from Iran, will be as much Armenia needs.That's because Russia has its own gas pipline as well and they are afraid that if we have too much gas , we will create a pipeline and distribute gas to other European nations (in which Russia is providing gas or is thinking to provide).This is the reason that it took so long for the creation of the pipeline ,because of the negotiations with the Russians.The project will be finished untill the end of the year.
      Anyhow i suppose it will boost our economy and make the gas cheaper , and brake the Russian monopoly.

        Russia can be such a douchebag sometimes, actually every time.

          Iranian foregn policy in Central Asia and in the Caucuses has actually been quite pragmatic. Not so sure about the wisdom of this pipeline however. And in any event I'm not sure how Armenia can be much of a distibution hub...landlocked as it is...perhaps they are working on some deep tunnling technology and will extend the pipeline under the Black Sea!

              Actually i think there already is a pipeline passing under the Black Sea , an agreement between Russia and Bulgaria and Greece.The pipeline end's up in Greece and the pipeline was finished 2-3 months ago.
              The problem is that we have an agreement with Russia now which doesn't alow us to distribute the gas somewhere else.

                Good point Red Brigade - though I believe this pipline is actually along the Sea Bottom (under the sea though not under the ground under the sea...)....as Armenia does not have shoreline at which to "put in" as it were they would at the very least need to tunnel under Georgia or (what is now known as) Turkey....! Though perhaps another alternative would be to fill huge balloons of natural gas and just float them accross....

                  Yes the gas pipeline is great, we're working to expand our economic ties with Iran as well... I was actually thinking, since Iran has no relations with the US whatsoever, maybe it can sell its products through Armenia? Anyway, Iran and the EU are two places we need to focus on right now... lets just hope Iran puts away its nukes so it won't be the next Iraq for Mr. Bush and his alikes.

                  I was reading this today:

                  Iran-Armenia-Relations


                  Sari, Mazandaran prov, May 24, IRNA

                  Armenian Deputy Minister of Agriculture Samuel Avetisyan, here at the head of an economic delegation, on Tuesday reiterated the need to broaden Iran-Armenia economic relations.

                  Avetisyan, who is currently visiting Mazandaran province, in a meeting with the provincial governor general, Mohammad Ali Panjeh Fouladgaran, added that after disintegration of the former Soviet Union some of the national facilities were undermined.

                  He further underlined the firm determination of Armenian officials to consolidate the country's economy.

                  Turning to the infrastructural measures taken across Mazandaran province in the field of fishery, he underlined the great impact of the sector on the Caspian Sea status which is unique in its kind.

                  "Remarkable success has been observed across the province in the domain of cattle breeding and horticulture, while Armenia has failed to make any progress in the related grounds," he added.

                  For his part, Fouladgaran referred to some of the provincial potentials in the fields of agriculture, cattle breeding, horticulture and tourism and declared the readiness of the officials to export the goods produced in the province to other countries including Armenia.

                  "Meanwhile, we are prepared to cooperate with Armenia in the indicated domains and announced readiness to facilitate investment in the province by Armenian tradesmen," he added.

                  The official pointed to Amirabad and Noshahr ports on the Caspian Sea via which goods are transited and declared and said this can be used by the Central Asian states, particularly Armenia, to supply their requirements from Iran or other regional countries.
