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.

    The phrase Karabagh under Russian control made my stomach turn.
    Karabagh belongs to those who have roots there from thousands of years, fought and died for its independence and
    are making huge sacrifices to hold and provide its people safe and secure future.


    If you have a source providing the text of the letter, I would be happy to read it in full !!

    .
    I did come across another news source with a lot more quotes from the actual letter (translated into English) so it will be out there somewhere.

    There was also a commentary about the ethos behind its writing - the admittance, by implication, by its author that no peaceful solution to the conflict will ever be found, and that Yerevan is incapable of properly defending NK in the long term, and only Russia will be able to properly do it.

    The letter is I think, in its essence, an application to rejoin the Russian Empire. Which is why it is important to know if this letter is just an application by one private individual, or an individual acting on behalf of a section of the Armenian authorities interesting in testing the waters about this possible road for Armenia's future. The fact that a lot of the Armenian media sources stress it was an individual (but without giving readers an explanation about why it is important to know it was just an individual) suggests to me that actually it was not just a private initiative by Zori Balayan. Other recent events, such as the sellout of Armenian interests to join the Russian custom's union backs up that opinion. So, it is not unreasonable to fortell a future campaign (led perhaps by the oligarchs who run Armenia) for the re-admittance of Armenia into a reborn, Putin-led, Russian Empire. (However, apart from the prestige of it happening, Russia has probably little interest in seeing such a thing ever happen).

      Can you bring your so called many quotes in here so we can see what makes you open your mouth like that "political scientist " ?

                      BERNARD FASSIER: ARTSAKH MUST TAKE PART IN NEGOTIATIONS DIRECTLY

                      The French ex-co-chair of the OSCE Minsk Group attended the third
                      forum of Armenians of Europe in Brussels on October 14-15. In his
                      address he called Russia and the United States to change their policy
                      on Artsakh. Today the head of the ARF Office of Political Affairs
                      Giro Manoyan commented on Mr. Fassier's appeal, tert.am reports.

                      "Bernard Fassier's participation was important who raised very
                      interesting and important issues on the second day of the conference
                      held at the European Parliament. He presented his vision of the
                      Karabakh conflict and stressed that Artsakh must take part in the
                      negotiations directly and negotiations must continue according to those
                      proposals. He also called Russia to refrain from the divide-to-rule
                      policy and the United States to ignore its partnership with Russia
                      in its mediation efforts," he noted.
