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: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
From the ANCA Facebook
SHOCKING PHOTOS!
CNN featured photos reveal "cover-up" of Azerbaijan's dark side: "a toxic environment of paranoia and fear of the leaders."
Here's the text that accompanies the photo gallery by Danish photojournalist Andreas Bro:
The Illusion of Azerbaijan:
Azerbaijan may rarely make headlines in America, but in 2012, the country’s visibility popped in Europe thanks to “Eurovision,” the annual live-song contest show.
With all eyes on the small country that borders the Caspian Sea in the Caucasus region, Danish photojournalist Andreas Bro was able to enter Azerbaijan and document another side of the country.
Bro said he struggled at first, arriving with the idea of covering the recent economic boom and who benefited from it.
“I quickly realized that there was quite a big cover-up from the Azeri government to show them as a nation with good intentions, a democracy on the way but not quite there yet when in fact it seemed like it was in reality an autocracy or dictatorship,” Bro said.
He felt it was a large issue that required a range of subjects, which was different for him since he said he typically focuses on a small group of people to tell a story.
Though democratic in appearance, Bro said Azerbaijan has a dark side that limits basic rights and creates “a toxic environment of paranoia and fear of the leaders.”
In 2011, authorities in Baku, Azerbaijan’s capital, demolished the privately owned office of human rights organization the Institute of Peace and Democracy despite a court injunction that prohibited it. The U.S. Embassy in Baku officially expressed its concern over the August 11, 2011, incident.
Bro says he saw the paranoia firsthand when trying to climb a small apartment building to get an overall shot of the city. A tenant kindly asked him and his local contact to leave, not because they were being a nuisance but because “she also had to take care of herself and be careful with her life.”
Bro came back with the feeling that in a country where the government is almost always watching, anything out of the ordinary could lead to problems.
The issues became even more real for Bro when he said his contact was arrested at a protest despite not even participating in it.
He said his contact and 10 protesters were driven by police outside the city and left there, forcing them to find their own way back into town.
Bro’s initial story of the effect of the economic boom played a role in showing how divided the country is.
“Widespread corruption is a massive problem in the country’s administration,” Bro said in his story’s introduction. “This makes it very hard for ordinary people to make a decent living without bribing someone or work directly for the government.”
“The economy is tied up in natural gas and oil and is dependent on that,” he said.
Despite the wealth to be gained from the abundant oil fields, workers on the ground with whom Bro spoke were only earning $450 (in U.S. dollars) a month working 12-hour days up to six days a week.
Everything that Bro said he learned on the ground in Azerbaijan became a haunting photo story showing both the outward beauty and oppressive shadow of a country so new to freedom.
