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.

    Azerbaijan Charges Journalist With Spying For Armenia

    April 21, 2014
    Azerbaijani authorities have formally charged a prominent journalist with high treason over allegations he spied for Azerbaijan’s rival, Armenia.

    The Prosecutor-General's Office said in a statement April 21 that Rauf Mirkadyrov "was recruited by the Armenian secret services in 2008 and supplied Yerevan with information on Azerbaijan's state secrets.”

    Mirkadyrov has been ordered to stay in pre-trial custody for the next three months as investigators pursue the case.

    The Prosecutor-General's Office said Mirkadyrov is accused of meeting with Armenian agents several times in Armenia, Georgia, and Turkey and providing them with images and documents that damaged Azerbaijan’s security and defense capabilities.

    Mirkadyrov is a correspondent for the Russian-language newspaper "Zerkalo," which is published in Azerbaijan.

    He was detained in Baku after he was deported from Turkey on April 19.

    Azerbaijan and Armenia remain locked in hostilities over disputed Nagorno-Karabakh, the Azerbaijani territory that was seized by Armenian-backed separatists during a war in the early 1990s.

    Rights groups consider Azerbaijan’s government to be among the most repressive of journalists in the world.

        Azerbaijan Arrests Prominent Journalist For Espionage PDF Print E-mail

        By Liz Fuller, RFE/RL

        BAKU. April 21, 2014: Rauf Mirkadyrov, a commentator for the independent Russian-language daily "Zerkalo," was taken into custody by security personnel at Baku's Heydar Aliyev airport on April 19 after being deported from Turkey, where he had lived with his family for the past three years.

        Mirkadyrov's lawyer, Faud Agayev, said on April 20 that the prosecutor-general's office is charging his client with state treason, specifically with espionage. Agayev added that Mirkadyrov is being held at the detention center of the National Security Ministry and cannot be visited by lawyers until April 22.

        According to Mirkadyrov's wife Adelya Babakhanova, Turkish police approached them on a bus in Ankara on April 18, claiming that Mirkadyrov's residence and work permits had expired, although they had been extended until the end of the year. ("Zerkalo" says his accreditation was valid until September, but was revoked without explanation two weeks ago.) Mirkadyrov was taken to a police station. Babakhanova was informed later the same day that her husband would be deported; the reasons were not specified.

        Mirkadyrov is a veteran commentator widely respected for his analysis of a wide range of issues, including Azerbaijan's relations with Russia and Turkey and the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. His most recent published article analyzed Russia's recent moves in Ukraine, and their implications for the South Caucasus.

        Emin Guseynov, who heads the Institute of War and Peace Reporting's Baku office, described him as "a well-known journalist with liberal views," who systematically criticizes human rights violations in Azerbaijan, Turkey, and elsewhere.

        Prior to takeoff in Ankara, Mirkadyrov reportedly telephoned a colleague, Zaur Bayramli, and told him that his problems with the Turkish authorities started immediately after the April 7 visit to Baku by Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan, whom Mirkadyrov is said to have criticized on more than one occasion.

        Bayramli is quoted as saying Mirkadyrov believes Ankara acceded to a demand by the Azerbaijani authorities for his extradition, given that he had not written anything that might have offended the Turkish government.

        But the website musavat.com reportedly quoted Elsever Agayev, the press secretary of the Azerbaijan Republic embassy in Ankara, as telling journalists that Baku played no part in Mirkadyrov's deportation.

        Mirkadyrov is not the first Azerbaijani journalist to be deported from Turkey this year.

        Makhir Zeynalov was expelled from Turkey in February after police accused him of an unspecified violation of the law.

        Zeynalov contributed articles for the Turkish daily "Today's Zaman." He attributed his expulsion to his criticism of the Turkish government and of Prime Minister Erdogan personally.

                  Զինված բախում՝ Իրանի և Ադրբեջանի սահմանին. կա 4 զոհ
                  Posted on Ապրիլ 22, 2014 by Անի Մարգարյան | 1 Comment
                  Իրանի և Ադրբեջանի սահմանին ապրիլի 21-ի երեկոյան ժամերին զինված բախում է գրանցվել, որի հետևանքով կան զոհեր և տուժածներ։

                  Ինչպես հաղորդում է ադրբեջանական ԱՊԱ լրատվական գործակալությունը, հղում տալով թյուրքալեզու Oyannews.com կայքին, անհայտ անձինք հարձակվել են Իրանի Արդեբիլի շրջանի Խորուզլու քաղաքի մերձակայքում տեղակայված սահմանային անցակետի վրա։

                  Գյուղի բնակիչների վկայությամբ՝ սահմանապահները և հարձակվող անձինք բախվել են, որի պատճառով 4 զոհ է արձանագրվել։ Նրանցից մեկը ոստիկանության աշխատակից էր, մյուսը՝ զինծառայող, մյուս երկուսը՝ քաղաքացիական անձինք։ Նշվում է, որ սպանվածներն Իրանի ադրբեջանցիներ են եղել։

                  Նկատենք, որ միջադեպի առնչությամբ պաշտոնական հայտարարություններ թե´ Իրանի, թե´ Ադրբեջանի կողմից ներկայումս չկան։ Աղբյուրը տեղեկացնում է, որ միջադեպի վայր են ժամանել Իրանի ոստիկանության և ազգային անվտանգության ուժերը, ընթանում է հետաքննություն։

                  Հիշեցնենք, որ ապրիլին Իրան էին այցելել Ադրբեջանի նախագահ Իլհամ Ալիևը, ապա պաշտպանության նախարար, գեներալ-գնդապետ Զաքիր Հասանովը։ Ալիևի այցի ընթացքում կնքվել էին 3 հուշագիր ու 1 համաձայնագիր։ Բացի այդ, այս օրերին քննարկվում է Կասպից ծովի ջրային տարածքների հիմնախնդիրը, իսկ Իրանի արտաքին գերատեսչության ղեկավար Մուհամեդ Ջավադ Զարիֆն արդեն հայտարարել է՝ Իրանը հետ չի կանգնելու Կասպից ծովի հարցում որդեգրած դիրքորոշումից։
