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.

    And Armenia's Economic Pulse will be stopped.

    Note please that minimal average wage in Armenia, in non government owned companies, is about $600.

    After accepting all Turkish preconditions on AG, Western Armenia, Artsakh we will be looking as a second grade country in the world that lost its self-respect.

    Imports will be increased immensely, thats right!!!!!!!!!!

    Situation is terrific! Please don’t tell that Armenia is winning when, in fact, we are losing all the advantages we had/have forever!
    Then why would Armenian government sign the protocols. They havent done yet; but if they are willing to do, I am sure they also know those risks.. still I believe no one would have a better position in the history than being a PM of a state; so since Sarkisyan would not want to be remembered as a traitor to his country, I think Armenia would benefit more than you think.

      Theres a school of thought that believes Imports are allready lopsided vs Turkey, this may challange us and bring more diaspora investment to increase our exports .

        Also, I am not an economist, but I think open-borders would mean more profit for the business in Armenia; and more profit would bring more investment from diaspora.

          Having the borders closed, keeps a normal amount of turkish products
          in flow with our country right now trade with turkey is 220 million, that is
          a good amount, but with open borders will double to 400 million, which would
          lower exports to even less than it is, and would flood our import rates higher
          than it already is. The whole investment is bull, look at georgia, it has open
          borders with turkey you don't see much investment being done by turks in
          georgia, all they're doing is flooding their markets with turkish products, and on
          a side note,to be honest turkish products aren't top quality i've tried some turkish
          products and they aren't durable, their clothes aren't usually 100% cotton but
          are mixed with spandex, polyster, and a bit of cotton which makes the quality low
          notch.

            Yerevan Thermal Power Plant (YTPP) Best In Region:

            Yerevan Thermal Power Plant (YTPP) CJSC will be put in operation on April 30, 2010, Hovakim Hovhannisyan, Director General of YTPP told journalists on September 26. The Japan Bank for International Development allocated U.S. $250 million for the YTPP construction that started in July 30, 2008.

            “Presently different units of the equipment are tested. RA President drew special attention to the plant arriving to see the process Sept. 26,” Hovhannisyan informed.

            The modern YTPP with 272 MW installed capacity will generate electric power at twice-reduced consumption of gas – an unprecedented factor in the region. “The up-to-date technologies of European Alstom and Japanese Fuji (that are found nowhere in CIS) will enable to half the consumption of natural gas which is crucial under the price increase,” Hovhannisyan stated.

            RA Energy Minister Armen Movsisyan emphasized YTPP’s key role in Armenian power sector. “The tariff policy as well as generating capacity will be effective and flexible,” he pointed out. The generated power will primarily be allotted for domestic demand. In the past, 400 employees were employed with the plant, however presently it makes 100 people only.

            The new YTPP will be more state-of-the-art than the Russia-modernized Hrazdan TPP and the Hrazdan-5 (under construction). Although, the last two will be more effective, generating about 3.5 billion square kW/h annually, the Yerevan TPP – up to 1.5 billion.

                  Aganbekian: Armenia can be energy leader in region

                  YEREVAN, September 23. /ARKA/. Armenia can become a regional leader in energy sector, academician of Russian Academy of Sciences Abel Aganbekian said.

                  Energy is a key point of Armenian economic efficiency, the academician said Tuesday at a round-table discussion on main issues of Armenian energy security.

                  Armenia has energy overproduction and can become a center of control of peak energy loads in the region, Aganbekian said.

                  Energy surplus can be exported to neighboring regions and countries, including Iran, Turkey, Iraq, and Georgia for additional hundreds of millions of dollars every year. For this, energy production needs to be developed at a high level in the country through cheaper production methods and reduced fuel costs for generation, Aganbekian said.

                  “It should be done in a balanced manner so that development of domestic energy needs for a number of power-intensive industries in the country is considered,” he said.

                  According to the RA National Statistical Service, a total of 3,268.5 million kilowatt-hour energy was produced in Armenia in January-July.

                      That more efficiant japanese plant must be pretty small since it is going to generate so much less then the other russian plants.
