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.

    Yes, the problem will go away. You clear out crooked police=you establish rule of law. You make all businesses pay taxes, and you allow new businesses to spring up because they are now no longer afraid of intimidation from oligarchs. Armenian treasury will increase TREMENDOUSLY, and, perhaps most importantly, transportation infrastructure can be constructed/repaired. With better roads and railway, Armenia can diversify its exports away from low-transport-cost goods (like electricity, diamonds, etc.). In all likelihood, a thriving defense industry will emerge, and Armenia can become the Israel of the Caucasus. The dram will strengthen, and investors will be drawn to invest. Emigration will ease. Armenia will be able to afford to subsidize housing, living, etc. in Karabakh, so that more Armenian will move there.

    What problems can rule of law not fix?



    Armenia should certainly get rid of its Russophobes and look for more security assurances. However, it is never a good thing to have internal infrastructure (energy, gas, electric, wireless) be controlled by a foreign state. Hopefully, this issue will get better with a stronger Armenian economy.
    Have you ever lived in Armenia ? I mean for a long time ?

      Why can’t we have (desire ) both the Russian umbrella as well as a healthy Government with a healthy economy?

      Politics is not about the pursuit of morality nor what's right or wrong
      Its about self interest at personal and national level often at odds with the above.
      Great politicians pursue the National interest and small politicians personal interests

        No. But Armenia's case is typical for a post-Soviet country.

              In armenianow today

              Armenia says can strike enemy at 300km and more

              The Armenian armed forces are capable of launching missile attacks against a potential enemy within a range of 300 kilometers and more, according to a senior military official in Yerevan.

              Head of the Operative Department of the General Headquarters of the Armenian Armed Forces, Major-General Artak Davtyan said at a press conference on Monday that scenarios of missile attacks were applied during the recent strategic command and staff exercises that involved up to 45,000 military servicemen, including NKR Defense Army subdivisions.

              Reservists had also been called up for the drills that were conducted across Armenia on October 1-13.

              Davtyan said that the simulation included aiming missiles at the “conventional” rival’s military facilities and economic infrastructure.

              Meanwhile, Defense Minister spokesperson Artsrun Hovhannisyan confirmed to the media information according to which Armenia has also tested its S-300 anti-aircraft missile system.
              Hovhannisyan said the stock of the arms and military equipment of the Armenian Armed Forces including anti-aircraft defense systems was being constantly updated, reported Mediamax.

              Major-General Davtyan, in his turn, said that the Armenian side was closely watching the military purchases by Azerbaijan. He particularly emphasized the new antitank weapons designed to fight the next-generation armor that were tested during the recent exercises in Armenia.

                    Maybe Armenia should overhaul that MiG-25, remove the armaments and offer rides to tourists, targeting Diasporans for the experience of flying with the Armenian military, and CIS, Western and Iranian tourists for the thrill. The Russians make millions in revenue from their space tourism industry. And the MiG-25 happens to be built for speed. I think it be better to generate a little revenue than to let it sit around.

                    In fact the Russians have a similar program: http://www.flymig.com/

                      In post no. 10954 by Burjurin , 2nd pic from top is showing what appears to be Khazak forces that are traing with us and the rest of the collective forces.
                      On a personal level have any of our people spoken to these(Khazak) troops? And what was their impression of the Khazaks sense of humanity and historicle facts?
                      Has any of that been expressed by our troops?
                      Just for understandings sake --- I thought I saw a lot of humanity in many of the youthful Khazak faces.
