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.

              According to Azei sources:

              06:39 GMT, October 10, 2009 Azerbaijan is producing a new version of its first small arm, Istiglal sniper rifle. It will be different from the old version IST-14.5 for its caliber and weight. The new rifle will be chambered for 12.7 mm caliber and weight 15 kg, but it will have same specifications as the old version. The new rifles will be produced for the Azerbaijan Armed Forces and will be offered for export as well.

              14.5-mm IST-14.5 Anti-Material Rifle Istiglal produced by the Azerbaijan Defense Industry Ministry was exhibited for the first time in IDEF 2009 exhibition in April in Istanbul, Turkey. 20-kg rifle is used on vehicle.

              The 3000-meter range point shooting rifle could be used in temperature -50 and +50 C. It is firm to rainfall, mud, snow and dust. It could be divided into two parts and carried in the bag.

              Bora JNG-90 sniper rifle was developed by Turkish state-owned arms making company MKEK. Its development was started in 2004, and nowapparently it is fielded by Turkish army and is offered for export. Manufacturer claims that this rifle outperforms most Western rivals in terms of accuracy, shooting 0.3 MOA groups at 100 meters range, but we still have no firm proof on that.
              Bora JNG-90 sniper rifle is a manually operated weapon with rotary bolt action and detachable box magazine. It is mounted onto aluminum chassis, with polymer pistol grip and fully adjustable butt. Barrel is free-floated and equipped with massive muzzle brake. Top of receiver is provided with integral Picatinny rail for quick installation and replacement of various telescope sights and night vision equipment. Additional accessory rails are provided on for end.

              Yaver Jamalov: Azerbaijan plans to produce the world’s biggest – 23mm and 30mm caliber sniper rifles- INTERVIEW

              [ 17 Dec 2009 12:01 ]
              Baku. Rashad Suleymanov – APA. APA’s exclusive interview with Azerbaijan’s Minister of Defense Industry Yaver Jamalov

              -The employees of Azerbaijan’s defense industry will mark their professional holiday on December 17. What has the Ministry of Defense Industry achieved within the four years?

              -Speaking of the ministry’s activity I can say that defense industry was established in Azerbaijan within the past four years. Thanks to the attention and care of the head of state a number of facilities have been established and supplied with modern equipment. Cooperation has been established with about 60 companies of 20 countries in aviation, navigation, instrument-making and other spheres. Old equipment has been updated, hundreds of new machines have been bought. 21 facilities have been reconstructed within the reporting period. For the first time in the international practice defense industry has been established within four years and participated in the exhibitions abroad. In a short time we demonstrated 27 kinds of defense products, small arms, bullets, air bombs and munitions in the IDEF exhibition in Istanbul. Even the developed countries took interest in our products. We are having talks with these countries on purchase and sale. Talks with a Turkish company have ended and a contract has been signed. According to the contract, we will sell 30 million 7.62mm caliber munitions to that company.

              -What are your plans for the coming years?

              -In general, we plan to reconstruct 12 areas of production, buy modern technologies from the developed countries for production of 8 kinds of defense products in 2010. Moreover, we are having talks to buy new technologies to produce 5-6 kinds of products in the second half of next year.

              -What is the weight of the defense industry in non-oil sector? How much will this sector increase in the near future?

              -I can say that the weight of non-oil sector is increasing year-after-year. Great improvements are expected in this field in the near future. It is early to predict the figure on the increase of this production. But I can say that there will be significant improvements and it will gain weight.

              -The production of new vehicles has started this year within the framework of the cooperation with Paramount Group of the Republic of South Africa. Will the cooperation with this company continue?

              -We have high-level relations with the Paramount Group. Together with this company we have started producing 30 Matador and Marauder armoured mine protected vehicles. In the first half of next year these vehicles will be delivered to the Defense Ministry. I think, our cooperation will continue in future.

              -In the Soviet times “Iglim” and “Aviaagregat” plants, which are now subordinated to the Ministry of Defense Industry, produced important parts for the air industry. Is Azerbaijan using its potential now? Do you plan to produce military aircrafts and helicopters on the basic of these facilities in future?

              -Spare parts for Azerbaijani aviation are being produced in these facilities. If they are effective, this kind of projects may be implemented in future. We have also started work on production of pilotless vehicles. I think this project will be implemented in 2010.

              -Azerbaijani government and a Singaporean company have recently signed a memorandum on the construction of shipbuilding plant near Baku. Will some navigation systems produced in Azerbaijani defense industry facilities be used in the construction of ships in this plant?

              -Navigation systems are produced in some of our facilities. We have enough practice and potential in this field. This company will mainly produce civilian ships. If it is planned to produce warships, we will participate in these projects.

              -“Istiglal” sniper rifle demonstrated in IDEF exhibition attracted attention. Do you plan to modernize Azerbaijan’s first national weapon, and produce new small arms?

              --“Istiglal” sniper rifle that we demonstrated in IDEF exhibition is 14.5mm caliber. On the basis of this weapon, we have started producing IST 12.7, i.e. 12.7mm caliber model. We plan to produce 23mm and 30mm caliber sniper rifles in 2010-2011. These will be purely national products and worked out by the local specialists. We have already begun producing “Inam”, “Zafar”, “Zafar-K” pistols, telescopes, cartridges for sporting guns meeting NATO standards.

              -There were some reports that a project was being work out on establishing new vehicles on the basis, chassis of Soviet-era PDM and T-55 tanks. What can you say about it?

              -We have begun modernizing Soviet-era vehicles and producing new vehicles on their basis. A number of military bodies of Azerbaijan have given 5 kinds of vehicles to us. These vehicles are being modernized at present.




              I will try to get info on the Inam and Zafar. Even Azeris don’t have info on it.

                This is not insignificant

                Armenia and Russia have agreed to work together in exporting weapons and other military equipment to third countries, the Defense Ministry in Yerevan announced on Thursday.


                Armenia and Russia have agreed to work together in exporting weapons and other military equipment to third countries, the Defense Ministry in Yerevan announced on Thursday.

                The ministry said an agreement to that effect was signed on Wednesday by Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian and a visiting senior Russian official during a meeting of a Russian-Armenian inter-governmental commission on bilateral military-technical cooperation.

                A ministry statement gave no details of the agreement, saying only that it envisages the two countries’ “interaction in exporting military production to third countries.” It quoted Ohanian as saying during the signing ceremony that the deal “has a great significance for deepening Russian-Armenian military cooperation and will help to strengthen the armed forces of the two states.”

                The statement added that the Russian-Armenian commission discussed “further development” of close military ties between Yerevan and Moscow during the four-day session that drew to a close on Thursday. Konstantin Biryulin, the commission’s Russian co-chairman who signed the export agreement, also discussed the matter with Prime Minister Tigran Sarkisian on Wednesday.

                Biryulin is also the deputy head of Russia’s Federal Service for Military-Technical Cooperation with foreign nations.

                The military alliance with Russia and, in particular, the presence of Russian troops on Armenian soil has been a key element of Armenia’s national security doctrine since independence. Armenia has been entitled to receiving Russian weapons at cut-down prices or even free of charge also because of its membership in the Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), a Russian-led military pact of six former Soviet republics.

                Ohanian was reported to say earlier this week that Armenia expects direct military assistance from the CSTO in the event of another war with Azerbaijan. That Yerevan can count on such support was confirmed by the CSTO’s secretary-general, Nikolay Bordyuzha, in August.
                General Antranik (1865-1927): “I am not a nationalist. I recognize only one nation, the nation of the oppressed.”

                  Having a good food Azerbaijani soldiers want sex

                  A spokesman for the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan, Colonel Eldar Sabiroglu, made some out-of-the-way statements at the press conference, Armenia’s Voice newspaper reports.

                  When asked why number of the sexual bid increases in the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan, Colonel Eldar Sabiroglu seriously said those were not rapes. “No, this is not a violation. This is just some sexual hormones, testosterone, that boost after the soldiers are being full. I mean, the increased number of the sexual harassment shows that Azerbaijani soldiers get well fed. For example, there are no rape cases in Armenia’s Army. This marks that Armenian soldiers get badly fed,” he said.

                    Armenia has zero chances to wage war and win, Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry
                    Fri 18 December 2009 | 06:22 GMT Text size:


                    Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry
                    It’s possible to say that Armenia has zero chance to win, spokesman for Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Defense, Colonel-General Eldar Sabiroglu.

                    "Everyone knows which country backs Armenia in the Organization of Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO), said spokesman for Azerbaijan’s Ministry of Defense, Colonel-General Eldar Sabiroglu, commenting on statements by Defense Minister Seyran Ohanyan that in the case "war starts, the CSTO will help Armenia".

                    According to him, Seyran Ohanian attempted to reply to the statement of Azerbaijani Defense Minister Safar Abiyev about the war. In fact, he only showed what kind of a state Armenia is.

                    "Ohanyan said in case of war, the Collective Security Treaty Organization will help Armenia, and this organization is obliged to help. A very important moment is that everyone knows who backs Armenia in this organization. Everybody in the world knows this", said E. Sabiroglu.

                    According to the spokesman, Seyran Ohanian is well aware that it is extremely difficult to cope with the Azerbaijani army alone.

                    "Seyran Ohanyan understands the logic of threat to Azerbaijan better than anyone else. He himself does not believe in the absurd expressions which he uses. Accordingly, the Minister of the outpost country is seeking protection from the outside. Their position remains unchanged as usual", said E. Sabiroglu.

                    According to him, the current state of the Armenian army reduces its chances to wage war and conquer:

                    "It’s possible to say that Armenia has zero chance to win. As I noted at a recent press conference, we have got definite facts. Today, Armenia is unable to complement themilitary units. The country has gradually exhausted its human resources and death rate is growing. This information is provided by Department of Demography of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of Armenia. Armenia stands face to face with such a catastrophe.

                    Compared with last year the number of admissions to secondary schools has decreased by more than 19000. At the same time I would like to mention that Armenian people have changed their attitude towards the army dramatically. They cannot rely on the army. And as a result of violations of these relationships and hatred, Armenia used force against its own people on March 1. The due statement was made by former Defense Minister of Armenia Vagharshak Arutyunyan while speaking to Armenia Today several days agp.

                    These are not my words, these are the words of the former Minister of Defense. It is not time to threaten to Azerbaijan. S. Ohanyan said if war breaks out again, they will be able to achieve anything like they did previously. This is absurd. Azerbaijani army is now powerful enough. The fighting ability of our soldiers and the provision of modern weapons and ammunition is all we have. If negotiations fail, the war would be inevitable. Azerbaijan will liberate its land from occupation. This scares Ohanyan. Therefore, he makes such statements".

                    all these guys do is talk, when Armenia responds they threaten again. i love how he claims what he says is facts even though he cant back anything up.
