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.

          Russian Troops To Land in Karabakh Airport

          On March 12 Serzh Sargsyan will leave for Moscow to meet with Vladimir Putin. Among the issues which, according to the press, will be discussed, there is one relating to the CSTO and the airport of Stepanakert.
          This is a very interesting combination and it appears that both issues will be discussed in the same context. It is possible that the airborne troops mentioned by General Shamanov will be deployed in Stepanakert airport.
          In his congratulatory message to Serzh Sargsyan President Barack Obama said that American investors are willing to invest in Armenia and are looking for a favorable climate. Obviously, the United States has decided to establish closer relations with Armenia through boosting investment. And Russia understands that they will have nothing more powerful than the traditional natural gas price to offer in exchange.
          Probably, the airport of Stepanakert was identified as such a step. By the way, Barack Obama stated in his congratulatory message that it is necessary to take up steps towards the Karabakh settlement. It is possible that the U.S. prepares steps to operate the airport for which it intends to give the necessary guarantees. In response, Russia promised an airborne landing as it did in Serbia. Although this time the U.S. and Russia may have agreed on joint use of the airport.
          Apparently, on March 12 Serzh Sargsyan will have to answer these proposals in Moscow. The opening of Stepanakert airport will not mean much for civil flights but the airport could acquire huge strategic importance for the United States and Russia. The U.S. could use it as a transit point for NATO troops, and it will enable Russia to send its troops to Karabakh.
          Stepanakert airport would change drastically the status quo in Karabakh. First, it would mean that the threats of Turkey and Azerbaijan are not taken seriously, and the factor of force settlement of the conflict will disappear. Second, the operation of Stepanakert airport will mean recognition of the independence of Karabakh. Third, it will change completely the regional policy and could lead to opening of borders.
          However, the entry of foreign forces in Karabakh will mean that all the initiatives will move from the Armenian side to the other, and the political decisions will be made already at gunpoint of foreign machines.

            And I guess Russia will blackmail Serj and screw its relations with Azerbaijan and the whole peace process and land a bunch of VDV guys in middle of karabakh... Why didn't they do this yet if it's so easy?

              Iran aided Rep of Azerbaijan militarily against Armenia, says former Revolutionary Guards commander

              Category: Middle East
              Published on Monday, 04 March 2013 16:23

              The former head of Iran’s elite Revolutionary Guards has acknowledged that Iranian military forces did indeed take part in the Nagorno-Karabakh War between the Republic of Azerbaijan and Armenia in the early 1990s.

              In an interview with the Sahar TV channel, Mohsen Rezaei, who was the commander of the Revolutionary Guards during the six-year war between Iran’s two northern neighbours, said he had ordered his forces to provide special military assistance to the armed forces of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

              “I personally issued an order … for the Republic of Azerbaijan army to be equipped appropriately and for it to receive the necessary training,” he said. “Many Iranians died in the Karabakh War. In addition to the wounded, who were transported to [Iran], many of the Iranian martyrs of the Karabakh War are buried in Baku.”

              “Karabakh is a part of Islamic lands and the Republic of Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity must be guaranteed through peaceful means.”

              Rezaei, who is currently the Secretary of the Expediency Discernment Council, recently announced that he would be running in the upcoming presidential elections in June.

              He rejected claims within the Republic of Azerbaijan that Iran offered no assistance to Baku during its war with Armenia, saying that they were made by individuals close “the West” and “international Zionism.”

                And we want to " lease our land " to whom ?
                Has there been any response on our part ?
                My guess is we keep that internally and act accordingly .

                    No foreign troops should be allowed to land in Artsakh, Armenia should just thank US and Russia for their offer but say no thanks......domestic flights to Armenia should start as soon as possible.

                    Edojan check your source before posting bullcrap green freedom news....there is no such official report from Iran.

                      If individual Iranians lent a helping hand to their "brothers", that may be so, hell, if people came all the way from Afghanistan then why wouldn't iranians go fight, but Iranian authorities lending direct help (training and intelligence help), that's whole different ballgame, and our and russian intelligence would know about it if true.
                      BTW, here's an article about it. The Iranians could have provided some logistics and training to Azeris and Afghans.

                      By Gegham BAGHDASARYAN Editor-in-Chief of Analyticon journal Stepanakert On May 14, 2011, the Iranian Embassy in Armenia made an unprecedented


                      Although Ohanyan and Officials in Iran don't like to talk about it.

                      But also, interestingly,

                      "”In case of such settlement, the issue of deployment of peace-keeprs in the conflict zone will come out, – Lragir newspaper says. – The composition of such forces will be crucial: whether they will be Russian, western or joint forces. Iran is against all such options, considering the presence of any peace-keeping forces as a threat to its security, in particular, in relation to the separatism in the northern provinces of Iran.”"
