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.

        YEREVAN. – Armenian MP, ARF Dashnaktsutyun member does not oppose an idea to move the capital of Armenia to Stepanakert.

        Leader of ARF Dashnaktsutyun Vahan Hovhannisyan participated in discussions organized by Armenian Civilitas Foundation. When asked to comment on the initiative to move Armenian capital in Stepanakert, Vahan Hovhannisyan said he would prefer Kars, presently located in Turkey.

          Azerbaijan To Blacklist Turkish Cypriots For Karabakh Trip

          06.04.2011

          The Azerbaijani government said on Wednesday that it will likely blacklist prominent Turkish Cypriots who have visited Nagorno-Karabakh to take part in a seminar on conflict resolution without its permission.

          The round table was organized in Stepanakert at the weekend by the London-based peace building group International Alert. It reportedly involved six Cypriot politicians, scholars and human rights activists representing the ethnic Greek and Turkish communities of the divided island.

          The guests shared with Karabakh Armenian officials and civil society members their experience in inter-community dialogue. They also discussed the impact of mass media and public diplomacy on the unresolved conflict in Cyprus.

          The Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesman, Elkhan Polukhov, told the APA news agency that the Turkish Cypriot participants of the event will be banned from traveling to Azerbaijan if information about their Karabakh trip is officially confirmed. He said the Foreign Ministry has contacted “the Turkish side” for that purpose but has not received a reply yet.

          It was not clear whether the inquiry was sent to the government of Turkey or the unrecognized Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC). Baku has already imposed such bans on dozens of other foreign dignitaries who have traveled to Karabakh without its prior consent.

          One of the Turkish Cypriots who participated in the Stepanakert round table is Kutlay Erk, secretary general of the Republican Turkish Party (CTP), which governed the TRNC from 2005-2010. Erk is also the former mayor of the Turkish part of the Cypriot capital Nicosia.

          The two other participants set to be blacklisted by Baku are Emine Colak, a human rights lawyer sitting on the Turkish Cypriot High Judicial Board, and Meltem Samani, a historian and peace activist.

          The Azerbaijani government said on Wednesday that it will likely blacklist prominent Turkish Cypriots who have visited Nagorno-Karabakh to take part in a seminar on conflict resolution without its permission.

                Stepanakert Airport Opening Postponed


                Stepanakert airport
                STEPANAKERT (Yerkir)—Technical issues were cited Tuesday for a possible postponement of the opening of the Stepanakert airport, which was slated for May 9.
                “Aside from technical concerns, there are no obstacles in opening the Stepanakert airport,” said Nagorno-Karabakh Republic presidential spokesman Davit Babayan in speaking to Kavkazi Uzel online newspaper. He emphasized that Azeri threats to down civilian aircraft had no bearing in the decision.
                Babayan said while it would have been ideal to open the airport on May 9, which is the anniversary of the liberation of Shoushi and Victory Day, the authorities are mindful to ensure that all necessary measures were taken to guarantee the optimum operation of the airport.
                “This is a very complex matter and it requires that we are fully ready, in order to avoid any technical deficiencies,” said Babayan, who explained that the airport was originally slated for operation in October or November of 2010 and ensured that the facility will be operational this year, just not on May 9.
                The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic Civil Aviation Department head Valery Adbashian announced that while a specific date has not been chosen, the airport, most likely, will be operations in early summer.
                We have become the laughing stock of the region because we don't dare open an airport.

                  Not really, as I recall, Armenia, unlike georgia and azerbaijan, didn't lose the war it fought it after independence from the ussr. The real laughing stock is azerbaijan.

                  The airport will open a month or so later than May 9th. It was supposed to have already opened late last year, so I do not think this is really connected with azerbaijan's threats and if it is then they are just beefing up the air defenses vis a vis the airport in Stepanakert.
                  For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
                  to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

                    Armenians lived in peace in Azerbaijan – official
                    Fri 08 April 2011 09:58 GMT | 2:58 Local Time

                    Novruz Mammadov
                    'Armenians were living in peace in Baku and other regions of Azerbaijan', said senior official.
                    Chief of the Foreign Relations Department of the Azerbaijani Presidential Administration Novruz Mammadov has expressed official stance of Baku regarding the status of the process to settle the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

                    Mammadov said in interview with SIA news agency that Baku believes there are still opportunities to resolve the conflict peacefully.

                    'That is, resources have not yet exhausted, despite the Armenian side takes non-constructive position and constantly tries to drag out the time. However, in reality, it is their tragedy, but not a sign of their reason and foresight. This shows that they build their lives only on falsehood, hypocritical, and insidious process. If they could analyze the past period and draw lessons, they would see to what degree they have been left behind over these 20 years. If Armenia was able to think more deeply, it would become one of the states developed in the South Caucasus thanks to Azerbaijan,' Mammadov said.

                    'Even during Soviet times Armenia lived in prosperity thanks to Azerbaijan, that is, thanks to Azerbaijan’s resources. It is a fact. However, the Armenian leaders still suffer from a century-old disease from which they can not be cured to this day.

                    Sacrificing everything for the sake of their interests, they create their own history through forged documents and hearsay making the entire nation hostage to it, without thinking that the current situation in the South Caucasus will widen the gap between Armenia and Azerbaijan even further,” the senior official noted.

                    “Pay attention to the excellent relations between Georgia and Azerbaijan. Why Caucasian countries can not live together and have a close relationship? Once they could do it in Soviet period, why they do not do this at a time of democracy and independence? They could live together making joint achievements and Armenian side would draw huge benefits from it. Armenians were living in peace in Baku and other regions of Azerbaijan. Who took away their autonomy in Nagorno-Karabakh? They can understand and appreciate it. I reiterate that Armenia’s ruling forces put their interests above those of people making them hostage of their own interests,' Mammadov added.
