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.

      Armenian Parliament Approves 2015 Budget

      Հրապարակված է՝ 08.12.2014

      The National Assembly has adopted Armenia’s government-drafted state budget for next year which calls for relatively modest increases in public spending and tax revenue.

      The bill, which was passed by 71 votes to 46 late last week, commits the Armenian government to increasing its expenditures by over 5 percent almost 1.31 trillion drams ($2.9 billion) in 2015. Projected at 1.19 trillion drams, state revenue is to rise at virtually the same rate. The resulting budget deficit would be equivalent to less than 3 percent of Gross Domestic Product.

      The government based these projections on the assumption that the Armenian economy will grow by 4.1 percent.

      The International Monetary Fund (IMF) expects a lower growth rate: 3.3 percent. A senior IMF official pointed last week to increasingly visible spillover effects of a looming recession in Russia, a key trading partner of Armenia and the main source of cash remittances supporting a large part of its population.

      The government’s spending and revenue targets had risen by roughly 10 percent annually in previous years. Its reluctance to set higher targets for 2015 appears to stem from the worsened economic outlook.

      Speaking during parliament debates in Yerevan, Prime Minister Hovik Abrahamian said his cabinet will seek to spur growth by “substantially improving the business environment” in a way that would result in a level playing field “in all areas.” Opposition lawmakers have repeatedly dismissed such government pledges, saying that some key sectors of the domestic economy remain monopolized by wealthy businessmen close to the ruling elite.

      Abrahamian also emphasized the fact that around half of the expenditures planned for next year will be channeled into social security, healthcare, education and culture. Social programs alone will absorb over 392.6 billion drams in government funding.

      The Armenian military will continue to be the second largest recipient of public funds, a fact reflecting the unresolved conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh. The 2015 budget sets aside almost 200 billion drams for national defense. Another 100 billion drams is to be spent on law-enforcement.

      The National Assembly has adopted Armenia’s government-drafted state budget for next year which calls for relatively modest increases in public spending and tax revenue.

      $455 million by current exchange rate, $490 million by old exchange rate
      $228 mill for law enforcement, $245 by old rate

          He says 200 billion drams not USD, thats almost 500 million USD

          They are spending 220 million dollars on the police? So, they must be spending less on maintenance of the armed forces..Hmm

            Guys we will never really know.
            First you can't know if the numbers we get are true.
            Secondly we don't know how much of that is really used and how much goes in the pocket of you know who ...
            So there is now way to actually know the numbers.

                  Its not something new that the government is more threatened from internal forces than external, specially if it intends to stay in power next term.
                  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
