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.

    Azerbaijani Flag Upside Down During Ilham Aliyev's Official Meeting With EU Leader In Brussels

    BRUSSELS. June 22, 2011: Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev is on an official visit to Belgium. Today, Ilham Aliyev met with Joze Manuel Barroso, the president of the European Commission. The Azeri media published the photos from the event showing that the Azerbaijani flag was placed upside down during the joint press conference of Aliyev and Barroso. The irony is that during that very activity Mr. Barroso spoke about the importance the European Union was giving to Azerbaijan.

    The opposition newspaper “Azadliq” also questioned the president Aliyev’s own knowledge of the correct color order in the Azerbaijani flag. This is not the first incident when the Azerbaijani flag was placed upside down during a visit of an official Azerbaijani delegation. Several years ago a similar incident took place in Iran. At the time, the Azeri media accused the Iranian government of deliberate disrespect against Azerbaijan and several Azeri newspapers, in an “act of retaliation” against Iran, published the photos of the Iranian flag upside down .



    Oh that's so good....

      Even in the case of the Azerbaijani flag being placed upside down, the Azeris will find a way to accuse Armenia or the Diaspora.

        Azerbaijan, Armenia, Russia and More Cautious Optimism
        June 24, 2011 - 11:02am, by Giorgi Lomsadze
        Tamada Tales Armenia Foreign Policy Azerbaijan Foreign Policy Nagorno Karabakh
        Amid nail-biting by Caucasus watchers, the leaders of Armenia and Azerbaijan landed in the Russian city of Kazan today for another round of conflict-resolution talks over breakaway Nagorno Karabakh. Russian President Dmitri Medvedev is emceeing this fifth joint appearance by Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan and his Azerbaijani counterpart, Ilham Aliyev. Hopes are that, this time, it could be the real thing.

        The cautious optimism from some diplomats and analysts that accompanied previous Sargsyan-Aliyev meetings has been upgraded to cautious-optimism-plus. Alongside dire warnings about what could be the outcome if the talks, once again, go awry. The key expectation for the two-day summit is that it will produce some sort of agreement in three key areas: the return of Karabkh-adjacent lands to Azerbaijan, allowing Azerbaijani Internally Displaced Persons back into Karabakh and a loose agreement to negotiate the region’s status in the future.

        Citing an unnamed Russian foreign ministry official, Kommersant, Russia’s weighty daily, claimed today that the two leaders could even be close to committing to a non-use-of-force agreement as part of the efforts to resolve the Karabakh conflict . Azerbaijan has long maintained that it will keep the military solution on the table as an option to restore its authority over Karabakh and surrounding territories. Given its heavy troop presence in the area, Armenia is likely to respond in kind.

        But while Kommersant’s article has lent an extra dose of optimism to the air, it could only be an attempt by Moscow to make its position and expectations known. Any progress will count as a masterstroke of diplomacy on the part of President Medvedev, who has taken an active role in the conflict resolution talks.

        US President Barack Obama and French President Nicolas Sarkozy, as part of the US-France-Russia troika of mediators, also have pushed both sides to take a step toward resolution of the 23-year conflict.

        For now, though, don't hold your breath.

            Its probably an agreement on non-use of force again and a promise that they will try to come to a peaceful deal.

              The "real" meeting is due tomorrow, when it is scheduled for the document to be signed. Let's wait and see...

                ընդունվել է միայն հայտարարություն

                Կազանում ընդունված համատեղ հայտարարությունը
                21:43 • 24.06.11




                Կազանում այսօր կայացած Հայաստանի, Ադրբեջանի և Ռուսաստանի նախագահների հանդիպման արդյունքում ընդունվել է համատեղ հայտարարություն։

                Հայտարարությունում, մասնավորապես, ասվում է.

                «Երկրների ղեկավարները հաստատել են մի շարք հարցերի շուրջ փոխըմբռնման ձեռք բերումը, որոնց լուծումը նպաստում է հիմնարար սկզբունքներն ընդունելու համար անհրաժեշտ պայմանների ստեղծմանը։

                Հայաստանի և Ադրբեջանի նախագահներն իրենց երախտագիտությունն են հայտնել ԵԱՀԿ Մինսկի խմբի համանախագահող երկրներ ՌԴ, ԱՄՆ և Ֆրանսիայի առաջնորդներին՝ ԼՂ խնդրի կարգավորման նկատմամբ նրանց մշտական ուշադրության համար և բարձր են գնահատել Ռուսաստանի նախագահի անձնական ջանքերը համաձայնության հասնելու ուղղությամբ»։

                Հիշեցնենք, որ կազանյան հանդիպումը սկսվեց նախատեսվածից 10 րոպե ուշացումով՝ Երևանի ժամանակով 17։40-ին և տևեց ավելի քան 3 ժամ։ Հանդիպմանը նախագահներից բացի մասնակցում էին երեք երկրների արտգործնախարարները։

                    I am confused, wasn't this a 2-day visit, on Friday having talks and visiting some horse show, and on Saterday the potential signing of the documents? Just google, the "real" meeting should take place on June, 25.

                    The Armenian-Azerbaijani summit is due to be hosted by Russian President Dmitry Medvedev in Kazan, Russia, on June 25. ...

                    And here it says they failed to reach agreement... so what are they going to do tomorrow, drink tea?

                    Armenia, Azerbaijan fail to reach agreement on Nagorny Karabakh
                    21:03 24/06/2011
                    Kazan, June 24 (RIA Novosti) - Armenia and Azerbaijan were unable to come to an agreement on the path to peace in Nagorny Karabakh after a meeting in Russia's Kazan on Friday, but said some progress had been made.
                    Russian President Dmitry Medvedev hosted Armenian leader Serzh Sargsyan and Azerbaijani president Ilham Aliyev of in the Volga city of Kazan for talks on a settlement to the two-decade conflict over Nagorny Karabakh.
                    "The heads of states confirmed mutual understanding on the range of issues that contribute to the creation of the conditions for approving the major principles [of the Karabakh settlement]," a joint statement said.
                    Nagorny Karabakh, a breakaway region on Azerbaijani territory with a predominantly ethnic Armenian population, has been at the center of a bitter conflict between Azerbaijan and Armenia.
                    It has remained under Armenian control since the late 1980s, when the region claimed independence from Azerbaijan to join Armenia. The conflict is estimated to have left more than 30,000 people dead on both sides between 1988 and 1994.
