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.

that Zvartnots data often gets mentioned to prove the immigration in Armenia in stark contrast of what the government claims
good to see that number itself provide some solid news
"830,005 passengers left Armenia, 861,710 arrived in the country via Zvartnots International Airport in 2013. The total number of people who arrived in Armenia and left the country via Zvartnots was 1,691,715."
When people leave their country of origin to find work they are almost always going to leave by the least expensive way - by land. If and when they return, they are always far more likely to return by air rather than by land because they will now have enough money to return using a quicker and more convenient way.Plenipotentiary meow!

.
I am afraid I always look at government statistics with a pinch of salt.
Soviet tradition of doctoring statistics for propaganda purposes is within the genes of ex soviet ( and corrupt ) goverments.
There are more robust way of establishing if migration has peaked.
Look at the reasons for the migration in the first place.
Then see if officially ( visibly ) the government is taking effective actions to combat it.
Also look for results on the ground.
.Politics is not about the pursuit of morality nor what's right or wrong
Its about self interest at personal and national level often at odds with the above.
Great politicians pursue the National interest and small politicians personal interests

Judging by the name of group & paint job of aircraft, they (Knights) seem to be equivalent to the USA " Blue Angels".
These are exhibition flyers, so my guess is they are going to put on a highly active aerial display.
Fun to watch these guys.

As cool looking as the equivalent USA aircraft are, I think asceticaly the Russian rigs are more beautiful.

Russian Knights cancel air show in Yerevan due to bad weather
January 10, 2014 | 18:41
YEREVAN. – The Russian Knights pilot team canceled their show in Yerevan due to bad weather conditions (photos).
As reported earlier, the team stopped in Yerevan on their way to Bahrain air show.
Talking to Armenian reporters, Commander Andrey Alekseyev stated with regret that weather conditions did not meet requirements to perform a training flight.
The group will spend the night in Yerevan before heading to Bahrain where the Russian Knights will display the new program prepared last fall. The air show will be held from 16 to 18 January
“We failed to see Yerevan because of the weather. I hope it will be possible in the future,” said Alekseyev.
The group will go back via Yerevan again on January 20.
In response to reporters’ attempts to find out whether the air show will be held on the way back, chief of the Russian base at Erebuni Alexander Petrov said that the most important show is the fact of the arrival of aerial display team.
“You can see Su -27, one of the world’s best aircrafts in terms of its technical capabilities. The world’s aerial display team is in Yerevan. This is important,” he said.
Popov noted that it would be even better to invite the Russian Knights for a show to Yerevan in the future
