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.

    Re: Armenia and the information war

    Why can't an Armenian company buy that pipeline before the stinking Azeris?

      Azerbaijan getting control of that pipeline sounds catastrophic.

        Probably it will go to the highest bidder.

        Initially it will be floated on the London Stock Exchange with the possibility of being taken over by the Azeri interests.

        Fighting that would be a mugs game.

        I think Armenia should state firmly any games with that pipeline and we shall retaliate, with BTC in mind ( and mean it).

        I think they will see the daylight and the world will understand.

            Yes it does not inspire confidence.
            It depends what would follow and indeed what they have in mind.

            We do not know so we have the right to guess !!

            Blocking the pipeline would be an act of war.
            A foreign ( or a local ) financial concern cannot engage in hostile activity without effecting the third country's status.
            That's why the third country would ( should) take necessary action to a counter being dragged into situations it does not want to be in.

            If the third country "willingly" cooperates then it is participating in the act of war.
            Armenia would have the right to ask for assistance from it's allies.

            Azeris could ask for higher transit fees.
            There is precedence for this ( I think currently its 10% of volume).

            Poor maintenance could be an issue ( Azeris drive the pipeline to the ground).
            Much longer stretch of the pipeline runs in Russia therefore they have financial interest and they would be involved ( financially and politically).

            Another possibility is during various Azeri posturing for war, Armenia has directly and indirectly threatened to strike at the BTC pipeline ( in a war situation).
            Could this be their insurance policy, by blocking it only during a war in retaliation as well as dragging Georgia into the war.

              Now that you mention it, it certainly does sound like an "equalizer"...

              Armenia should find and construct alternative gas pipelines that go through other countries in order to neutralize the risk presented by Azerbaijan's control of the Russia-Armenia pipeline.

                Another article saying mostly the same stuff.

                The latest Oil and Gas industry news from Russia and the CIS from Oil & Gas Eurasia Magazine.


                Azerbaijan Likely To Acquire Stake in Russia-Armenia Gas Pipeline

                A source in the Georgian government has confirmed information that the North-South (Mozdok-Tblisi-Yerevan) pipeline which links Russia and Armenia will likely be acquired in part by the Azerbaijan state oil and gas company (SOCAR), the Turkish newspaper Hurriyet reports.
                According to Hurriyet, the newspaper's sources in Tblisi said "Because of the economic crisis, Georgia has decided to take the North-South pipeline off the list of strategic assets not to be privatized. Observers in Tblisi say the new owner of the pipeline is 99 percent likely to be SOCAR".
                "Last month, the president of Azerbaijan, Ilham Aliyev conducted negotiations on the topic with Georgian president Mikheil Saakashvili", the newspaper's journalists wrote.
                According to the article, this means Baku will control the tap of Armenian energy.
                "Yerevan is seriously concerned that the gas pipeline may end up in the hands of Azerbaijan", the article says.
                On 6 July, the Georgian parliament passed a bill in the first reading which excludes the pipeline from the list of strategic assets.
                Pavel Kublashvili, an MP from the ruling party, proposed the pipeline be sold.
                He said private investors were better than the state at managing any enterprise and "no enterprise should be an exception".

                  Why can't Armenia just go Mossad on some of the key players involved in this. It works for Israel.

                      I don't know any. Are you asking me because you want to know or because you disagree with my suggestion?
