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.

Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan

Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
Ekspress, Azerbaijan
May 11 2013
Is Armenia preparing for war?
Zahid Oruc : Steps must be taken in cold blood and with full
consideration of the real military and security situation
by Aqil Aslan
Armenian Defence Minister Seyran Ohanyan has said that the armed
forces have begun a large-scale upgrade of their hardware. He said
that the military will receive new military hardware and types of
weapons, and the existing hardware will be upgraded: "We are regularly
making renewals in the army. Now we plan more-large scale efforts in
this direction. These projects will also be conducted within the
framework of establishing joint ventures with Russia and Poland."
What does the armament of the Armenian military and upgrade of their
military hardware signify? A member of the Milli Maclis security and
defence committee, MP Zahid Oruc, told Ekspress that Ohanyan's
statement may be linked to the domestic situation of the Sargsyan
regime.
The MP also believes that there are also messages addressed to
Azerbaijan here: "First, we have to consider that Armenia is actually
Russia's military plant. Under the guise of some upgrades there are
plans to move to the southern flank various industrial facilities and
to begin their immediate production. In itself this is completely in
favour of Armenia because many weapons bought some time ago are
getting obsolete or are used in Karabakh where the cease-fire is
breached daily. However, dependence on Russia persists too. In this
situation, undoubtedly, Seyran Ohanyan's remarks show more precisely
that they see Russia as their main partner in upgrading weapons. A
more precise way to put it would be to say that Russia provides all of
the weapons for the Armenian servicemen."
The MP said that currently Armenia tends to build defence
fortifications and therefore it attempts to mainly procure tanks and
other hardware: "Meanwhile, intelligence reports too often say that
Armenians no longer work on weapons with long reach. [Azerbaijani
Defence Minister] Safar Abiyev had said that today Azerbaijan is
capable of hitting any place in Armenia. This means that Azerbaijan
does not want to wage the war in small border areas."
Oruc also provided an interesting piece of information. Russia refuses
to disclose the specifications of some weapons that it sold to
Azerbaijan, he said. "Russia has sold weapons to Azerbaijan as well.
By keeping many of their specifications a military secret it is
damaging us. I openly state that Russians are not reliable partners.
They keep to themselves secret informational control in many different
areas and do not provide it to Azerbaijan. I cannot say to what extent
they share it with Armenians," the MP said.
According to him, Azerbaijan must step up adequate measures and regard
Ohanyan's statement is not only an element in the information war, but
also as an indication that Armenia, in a certain sense, is going
through a process of armament. "Certainly, I do not hold the view that
there must be a continuous arms race in the region. This is a trap, an
international trap, a game engineered by weapons manufacturers. They
wish to make us fight like Iran and Iraq and spend our oil dollars on
weapons. Arming Armenia to a degree is part of Russia's project to
sell bigger batches of weapons to Azerbaijan. I believe that steps
must be taken in cold blood and with full consideration of the real
military security situation."
