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

    Legislative approach or national agenda?: Armenian Genocide denial should be punished first of all in Armenia


    The signing of Armenian-Turkish protocols has intensified discussion of the Armenian Genocide and has, in some circles, raised the question of why Armenia does not have a law prohibiting denial.

    Yet in 1988 the Supreme Council of Soviet Armenia adopted a law, condemning the Armenian Genocide, committed by Turkey in Western Armenia in 1915. After Armenia being declared independent, all the normative legal acts of the Soviet Armenia were annulled, except for the genocide declaration. However, a special law was not adopted, by which the Republic of Armenia would officially and legally confirm that it recognizes the Armenian Genocide. (According to the existing law the genocide is recognized by the Supreme Council of Soviet Armenia.)

    “We only have Article 397.1 of the Criminal Code, where genocide in general is condemned, and the Armenian Genocide is not mentioned separately,” says Armen Ayvazyan, Director of the ‘Ararat’ Center for Strategic Research.

    “Meanwhile, there are various states which have such a law: Israel, for example, has a special Law on Holocaust Recognition; the European Union assigned a task to all its member states to adopt laws against genocide denial,” he says.

    A month ago, representatives of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation (ARF) Dashnaktsutyun drafted a bill, which is included in the agenda of the Standing Committee on State-Legal Issues of the National Assembly.

    MP Artsvik Minasyan, from ARF, thinks that we have always faced that issue; however, because of the recent developments in the political sphere, the adoption of such a law is more urgent. “It does not matter whether they will or will not ratify the protocols, we must adopt the law.”

      Azerbaijani constructive war in Artsakh: Balayan
      19:12 / 10/19/2009


      Saying “constructiveness” Azerbaijan means large-scale war against Artsakhi people (Karabakh), RA Foreign Ministry Press Secretary Tigran Balayan told ArmInfo news agency.

      Earlier, Azerbaijani MFA representative Elhan Polukhov stated about permanent adherence to country’s constructive positions, charging Armenia with the denial of the achieved arrangements.

      In response to this remark, Tigran Balayan said: “Probably, Mr. Polukhov means &‘constructiveness’ proceeding from which a large-scale war against people of Artsakh launched. Guided by &‘constructiveness’, they denied Paris Principles in 2001, &‘constructiveness’ that enabled to deny Madrid document throughout a year issued in 2007. I consider Polukhov’s constructiveness is understandable by himself only.”

        Today.Az » Politics » Azerbaijan shooting film on Nagorno-Karabakh conflict

        19 October 2009 [16:26] - Today.Az

        Azerbaijan is shooting a film about the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.

        Under the financial support of the State Support Fund for Media Development under the Azerbaijani President, Azerbaijan-based Trend News Agency is implementing a project "Creating and demonstrating a documentary to inform the world about the reality of the Armenian-Azerbaijani Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, exposing the occupation and terrorist policy of Armenia."

        The documentary aims to provide the world with realities about Armenians' crimes against peace and humanity, Project Coordinator and Film Scriptwriter Emil Huseynli said.

        He said the shooting of the film has already begun, and at the moment witnesses of the events are telling us about the atrocities of the Armenians.

        The film will also use archival materials of the State Commission for Prisoners of War, Hostages and Missing Persons, Huseynli said.

              Baku attempt to spread anti-Armenian propaganda foiled in UN
              20.10.2009 14:37 GMT+04:00
              /PanARMENIAN.Net/ The United Nations General Assembly’s Social, Humanitarian and Cultural Affairs Committee, commonly referred to as the Third Committee held a hearing on children’s rights. On October 16, when Armenian and Azerbaijani representatives were scheduled to speak, Azeri delegate decided to dedicate his speech to “occupation of Azeri lands by Armenia, refugees and atrocities in Khojalu.”

              The chairman had to interrupt the speech, saying that the Azerbaijani parliamentarian misuses the time. However, the delegate continued speaking in the same vein and the chairman turned off the microphone.

              Representative of Armenia, for his part, emphasized that Azerbaijan once again tried to disseminate anti-Armenian propaganda irrespectively of the agenda of the session. He also drew attention to the violence Azerbaijan used against the Armenian population of the republic.

                Armenia Arrests Two On Azerbaijan Spy Charges
                21.10.2009
                Ruzanna Stepanian
                Armenia’s National Security Service (NSS) said on Wednesday that it has arrested two persons, including a retired army officer, on charges of spying for Azerbaijan.
                One of them was identified as retired Lieutenant-Colonel Gevorg Hayrapetian. “In 2007 he was demobilized from the Armenian Armed Forces for a blatant violation of military and disciplinary rules,” the NSS said in a statement.

                The statement added that Hayrapetian has already been charged with high treason for “cooperating with Azerbaijani special services.” A corresponding article of Armenia’s Criminal Code carries between 10 and 15 years’ imprisonment.

                According to the NSS, the other detainee is a “foreign national” who liaised between Hayrapetian and Azerbaijani intelligence. The security agency did not identify the suspect or give any details of the alleged espionage.

                The Azerbaijani government was quick to dismiss the announced arrests as a “cheap Armenian provocation.” “We don’t know that person,” a spokesman for the Azerbaijani Ministry of National Security told Day.az news service, referring to Hayrapetian. “That deliberately disseminated information has a provocative character.”

                Both Azerbaijan and Armenia have occasionally arrested and prosecuted individuals for allegedly spying for each other since the early 1990s. In one such case, a retired Russian army officer who had fought on the Armenian side during the 1992-1994 war in Nagorno-Karabakh was arrested in late 2006 and subsequently convicted of passing Armenian “state secrets” on to Azerbaijan. The ethnic Tatar man, Rustem Valiakhmetov, initially confessed to the charges but retracted his pre-trial testimony in court, saying that it had been given under duress.

                And in June 2005, a Russian-born Armenian citizen, Andrey Maziev, was likewise convicted of high treason and sentenced to 12 years in prison. Maziev pleaded guilty to the charges, unlike four other ethnic Russians who received lengthy jail sentences on similar charges in January 2004.

                  Well that is a shame that an ethnic Armenian would do such a thing, but it wouldn't come as a suprise either.
                  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.

                    There are really just no words to that. It's like a hurricane wiping out an entire community,the shock is too much to register in the mind. Just makes you sigh and move on. Thankfully, these people are being captured.

                      My first thought was "is it true?"

                      The same government repeatedly arrests war veterans for treason when all they're doing is fighting their policies.
