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.

    Brigade, the question remains. What money?
    I have answered to the question already.The money that they use to buy their luxury cars ,sell their drugs,clean their dirty money,and build their villas on the top of the hills.
    There is another way to build Dants.I was speaking with an ARMENIAN FROM ARMENIA and he was the one who gave me the information.He said they need just 16-17 Kilometers to build the road from another way but the goverment claims they dont have the money.So the Armenians of Armenia made many protests so they can protect the forest.
    This is not just about the forests though.This is the reflection of what opinion the Armenian people have for the corrupted parties and they all know what is happening very well.

      I understand that transportation is essential for a healthy economy and military operations; but I would rather build an extra "16-17" kms - or even 50+ - to preserve an ancient forest.
      It seems that few of us are aware of the details of the project.
      Catwoman and Red Brigade, would you care to educate us on the subject? Thanks!
      What if I find someone else when looking for you? My soul shivers as the idea invades my mind.

          I'm really curious, what other ways are out there?

          First of, a road is usually only 6-12 meters wide. The forest, if it really is that big of a forest won't disappear with a 10 meter road built in it. Many highways in US and Canada are built on the forests. Besides, we only have a tiny border with Iran, way smaller than the one with Turkey or Azerbaijan that are closed:



          Now, forest and mountain is pretty much all there is. The one we already have goes around the mountain, it's narrow, and inconvenient specially during winter time. So what options do we really have?

            We can't just look at this huge map and find out alternative ways to build the road.
            The fact is that there already is an alternative way from what i know and they just need to add 16-17 Kilometers to fix this situation.Officialy they claim they don't have the money to do it.
            Which is translated to this:I don't want to give the money which i am putting
            in my pocket, for your forest.

              Red Brigade,
              By "educate us on the subject" I meant "inform us on the subject." Of course, I did not mean to insinuate that we are not educated! I apologize for the confusion.
              An uninformed intelligence is not very useful; in the best case, less useful than an informed one!

                Yes, I think the option you're talking about goes through the mountain around the old road, which means they need to take out parts of the mountain to make it straight and smooth which is VERY costy, and unfortunately, we're not at the position to do so. So the road probably won't be built. I seriously can't see how a 10 meter road can hurt the forest so bad.

                  Neither me or you have any knowledge of building roads.So if so many Armenian people from Armenia have made protests about it , then obviously there is something wrong.So we should better not assume that adding just 17 Kilometers is going to be very costly.

                    During the previous years, the Lincy Foundation have dedicated a lot of funds to rebuild the roads. If it's only a matter of cost, why shouldn't the Diaspora or the Lincy Foundation finance the difference?

                    The impact will probably be far greater than the width of the highway. I'm not a specialist, but I can imagine how it can have much larger impact on the neighboring environment. First of all, the wildlife will slowly die along the highway, but I wouldn't know how deep in the forest the impact would be.
                    Also, it would divide the forest!
                    Last, but not least, I can see many Armenian families picnicking along the road, littering and barbecuing...

                      you can drive 17 km in 15 minutes. They should build the road the long way.
