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.

      ARMENIA: LAWMAKERS DEBATE WHETHER YEREVAN SHOULD DEFEND RUSSIA?
      2/23/10

      The Armenian parliament ratified the creation of a rapid reaction force under the auspices of the Russia-led Collective Security Treaty Organization. But the legislative debate in Yerevan proved contentious, with opposition leaders expressing concern about the possibility of Armenian involvement in a potential regional conflict.

      Parliament endorsed the creation of the CSTO rapid reaction force on February 23, a day that, during the Soviet era, was celebrated as armed forces day. For Armenia, the merits of membership in the Moscow-led defense pact include discounted access to Russian weapons and protection against neighboring Azerbaijan’s potential attempts to retake the disputed Nagorno-Karabakh enclave by force.

      But some lawmakers warned during the ratification debate that the rapid reaction force agreement, which was agreed to during a CSTO meeting last year in Moscow, could potentially embroil Yerevan in a conflict. Opposition MPs pointed out that pact provisions would require Yerevan to keep secrets from the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, and would potentially set Armenia against neighboring Georgia, which fought a brief and disastrous war against Russia in 2008.

      Stepan Safarian, head of the opposition Heritage Party’s parliamentary faction, said that the agreement obliges Armenia to take a military action against Georgia on Russia’s behalf in the event of a repeat in hostilities between Tbilisi and Moscow, Russia’s RIA-Novosti news agency reported on February 23.

      Vardan Aivazian, a member of the governing Republican Party, responded that the Kremlin should expect military support from Armenia in return for Moscow’s protection, the Novosti Armenia news service reported.

      Armenia is the only CSTO member in the South Caucasus; it is sandwiched between NATO-member Turkey and NATO-aspirant Georgia.

      The CSTO also includes Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Uzbekistan.

      RA NA ratified agreement on creation of CSTO KSOR

      RA Parliament ratified agreement on creation of CSTO Collective Rapid Reaction Force (KSOR). The agreement, reached in Moscow last June aimed at uniting CSTO states’ efforts to repel armed attacks.

      In the course of discussions, Armenian MPs put particular emphasis on the fact whether CSTO will react to possible aggression against Armenia by Azerbaijan. Chairman of RA NA Standing Committee on Foreign Relations Armen Rustamyan expressed confidence that it will do so in any case. According to him, the agreement will be sort of “strait jacket” for those who will venture upon a violence against Armenia.

      “Though NKR is not a CSTO member, presumably in case of threat from Azerbaijan, CSTO will respond as the aggression against NKR is against Armenia,” Rustamyan said. However, Heritage Party members did not share his opinion, saying that in case of violence against both NKR and Armenia, CSTO will sit on the fence.

        I think Russia will support Armenia in case of azeri aggression, but I wouldn't count on the stans or Belarus. Even if they wanted to, they couldn't bring their troops to the region without Russia's help, and consent.
        For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
        to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

          Armenia has been a member of CSTO, they make it sound like is something new. All members are supposed to help if anyone of these countries enters a conflict, which is a given.

          Wasn’t there a rapid reaction force training at the Turkish border back in 2005?................the Russian and Armenian military exercises simulating a Turkish invasion and how they would respond and eventually surround them (live fire exercise), it even included Armenian SU-25s and Russian MIG-29s.

              I actual look forward to Azeris buying those expensive weapons since we will be the ones using them a short while after they flee the battlefield. Azeris are one of the worst fighters on the earth, We should never be intimidated by them.

                Well that could mean attacking Georgia, which we would/should never do.

                  At this point we shouldn't do it. In the future, as Russia increases its hold over georgia, this will change and we will be able to be more forceful with georgians and their anti-Armenian policies vis a vis Javakh.

                    But also enough is enough. How much more can we quarrel with our neighbors?
