Armenia and the information war

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.

I guess you have a point. But then the survey is invalid as people are choosing the countries based on the population of ethnic Russians where the question is totally different.

90% of the surveys are invalid, and irrelevant, as are 95% of the news items, especially concerning "opinions" and "thoughts".

Totally not surprising. What do you expect, an average Russian (or Armenian, American, Chinese) to understand geopolitics? It is totally logical that common people name the countries where the highest percentage of ethnic Russians are living (and the one's who share most of the cultural and historical values) and these are Kazakhstan, Belarus and Ukraine. After that, it's logical that Armenia is put in front of Azerbaijan, Georgia and all those other countries.

If you do an survey and only invited Russian politicians and military leaders to vote (thus people who have a certain knowledge of the reality), Armenia would probably take the first or second place.

Might have something to do with Armenia being one of the first and most vocal countries to leave the soviet union. Can thank LTP and cia for that.

9 percent of Russians consider Armenia most reliable partner of Russia within CIS

MOSCOW. - Only 9 percent of Russians consider Armenia most reliable and successful country in the CIS.

All-Russian Public Opinion Research Center presented the results of the annual survey of which CIS countries Russians consider most reliable partners of their country.

According to Russians most reliable and successful country in the CIS is Kazakhstan – 34 percent. Second place went to Belarus – 31 percent. Ukraine is the third with 19 percent.

Then comes Armenia – 9 percent, Azerbaijan - 6 percent. Moldova and Turkmenistan drew sympathies of 5 percent of the respondents, Uzbekistan and Georgia – 3 percent each. Kyrgyzstan and Tajikistan close the list with 2 percent and 1 percent respectively.

Sculptural portrait of Azerbaijan`s first lady – “Divine Muse, protectress of Azerbaijani Mugam” presented in Canada

A bust of the President of the Heydar Aliyev Foundation, UNESCO and ISESCO Goodwill Ambassador, MP Mrs. Mehriban Aliyeva has been presented in the picturesque city of Canada - Niagara on the Lake.

The Azerbaijani Culture and Art Days have recently been celebrated in Niagara as a part of the International Niagara Music Festival. The opening ceremony of the International Mugam Studio of Azerbaijan and exhibition of works by Azerbaijani sculptor Omar Eldarov was held in the Canadian city as well.

A member of the Canadian Parliament, Monte Kwinter, described Omar Eldarov`s sculptural portrait of Mehriban Aliyeva - “Divine Muse, protectress of Azerbaijani Mugam” as a “masterpiece of modern art”. The Azerbaijani sculptor`s work had been awarded the Grand Prix of the International Niagara Festival “for great skill and artistic excellence”.

The Azerbaijani singers performed in the Mugam Studio after the exhibition.

Participants of the Azerbaijani Culture and Art Days put flowers at the bust of the national leader Heydar Aliyev in the Memorial Hall of the Niagar Court House.

Azerbaijani Ambassador to Canada Farid Shafiyev, members of the Azerbaijani parliament Arif Rahimzade and Elmira Akhundova made their remarks and thanked organizers of the event.

Mayor of Niagara Gary Borrow expressed his wish for further expansion of cultural relations between Azerbaijan and Canada, adding he would spare no efforts towards popularizing Azerbaijani culture and music in Northern America.
