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

    By Tigranakert


    Back in the late 1990s our politicians were again flirting with national suicide. Thankfully they were eliminated in spectacular fashion on October 27, 1999. I hope that a reliving of that bloody day in Armenian history is not where we are headed today.
    Could you remind us what these "politicians" were planning? Serious question, I don't know much about armenian politics in 90's.

          Vazgen Sarksyan and Karen Demirchyan were planning to sell Armenia to the USA (West) and cut off ties with Russia, which wouldn't be hard because if they succeeded, Armenia would not exist today.

          Under the Goble Plan Armenia was to be expected to essentially abandon its border connection with Iran. A ten kilometer wide corridor along Armenia's southern border region with Iran, stretching from south-western Azerbaijan to eastern Nakhijevan was then to be internationalized. In return, Baku was to be expected to recognize Artsakh's independence. The overall intent/purpose of this Washingtonian project was to divert Central Asian energy distribution away from Russian control - as well as settling the dispute over Nagorno Karabakh independent of Moscow.

          Again, we must bare in mind that this ambitious plan was hatched by officials in Washington during the mid-1990s. In other words, it was concocted during a time when Russia was on its knees and to a large extent at the mercy of the West. Taking advantage of Russia's weak political position at the time, Washington was more-or-less hoping for Yerevan to voluntarily disconnect itself from Iran, arguable Armenia's most strategic neighbor - for mere promises made by Western oil interests. By expecting it to abandon its border with Iran, Yerevan was essentially being asked to voluntarily complete the total encirclement and geopolitical isolation of the already embattled Armenian state. Incredibly, by not surprisingly, this potentially disastrous/suicidal plan seemed to have found willing partners in the highest echelons of the Armenian government.

          There were indicators at the time that Prime Minister Vazgen Sarkisian and National Assembly Speaker Karen Demirjian had at least preliminarily accepted Washington's aforementioned proposals. Thus, Armenian officials were, at least preliminarily, getting ready to partake in the West's agenda in the Caucasus. Shortly before their deaths, Vazgen Sarkisian and Karen Demirjian were publicly stating that Yerevan will no longer allow itself to be subservient to Moscow and that Armenia will seek better relations with the West. This very significant development in Armenian politics at the time was unmistakably a direct political message to Moscow and it had come soon after Vazgen Sarkisian's working visit to Washington. Needless to say, one can just imagine the indignation and rage Kremlin officials must have felt at the time.

                You are effectively suggesting Russia had to gain from their murder, therefore it was done for the benefit of Russian interests.

                So the culprit was either the long arm of Russia or pro Russian forces in Armenia.

                Somebody who seems to walk with Russian blind man stick probably this is not what you wanted to imply.


                You may find this document “How the "Goble Plan" was born and how it remains a political factor” from 2002

                in which the Armenian position in international law terms was stated.
                I will remind you that The President and foreign minister at the time were Kocharyan and Oskanian and not the murdered.

                Armenian President Robert Kocharian disclosed in February that international mediators had resurrected the prospect of a
                territorial exchange to resolve the Karabakh conflict, and that Kocharian discussed that possibility during one of his meetings
                with his Azerbaijani counterpart, Heidar Aliev. But both Kocharian and Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian have said
                repeatedly
                that the Armenian side rejected such a territorial exchange out of hand. Oskanian stated in a TV interview on 4
                June that "this issue is closed." He added that the international community cannot coerce any state to cede part of its territory,
                and that Armenia therefore "has nothing to worry about,"
                according to Snark.

                    Vazgen and Karen wanted to form a partnership and would have been even more popular than Kocharian, probably they would have won the upcoming elections, thus they had to be removed. It was both in the interests of the Russian Federation and the Republic of Armenia, as our interests coincide most of the time. Anyways, it still remains very vague and unclear, and one can only form mere opinions about it.

                    The important thing is that the political course Armenia took since Kocharian (and now under Serge Sergysyan), is the right one.

                      I think you have a sick man’s mentality (politically).
                      You do not understand that Armenian people and Armenian state have to have the same course.
                      That is called democracy.

                      I doubt you understand or believe in democracy.
                      Your idiotic statements have the aim of discrediting Armenian-Russian strategic partnership.

                      Probably you are CIA plant working towards that aim.

                      Additionally Armenia’s political issue is not about finding a strategic partner
                      since this has already been established as a long term project through the relevant security and other treaties.

                      Armenia’s political issues are poor governance, unfair distribution of national wealth, corruption – financial, legal etc, lack of economic growth etc.

                      Politicians use diversionary tactics to focus elseware and find excuses for not tackling the above.
