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’s Ombudsman shows international partners video of torture of Armenian serviceman in Azerbaijan
        19:10 • 16.12.14




        The office of the Armenian Human Rights Defender (Ombudsman) organized a private viewing of a video record of the torture of Armenian serviceman Hakob Injighulyan in Azerbaijan.

        Armenia’s Ministry of Defense confiscated the video record from Azerbaijani saboteurs and placed it at the Ombudsman’s disposal.

        Representatives of a number of diplomatic missions and international organizations (Great Britain, Germany, France, OSCE, Council of Europe and United Nations) attended the private viewing.

        Armen Grigoryan, Deputy Ombudsman on military issues, is deeply concerned over the inhuman treatment of Hakob Injighulyan and other Armenian captives in Azerbaijan.

                    Letter from Nagorno-Karabakh: when an entire country becomes a kind of no-man’s land



                    In Stepanakert, the capital of Nagorno-Karabakh, polite officials stamped our passports and wished us a pleasant stay.

                    They’re happy to welcome foreigners to the Armenian- populated republic in the southern Caucasus. That’s because no country in the world acknowledges its status.

                    Nagorno-Karabakh is one of a small club of unrecognised statelets left stranded by the Soviet Union’s collapse. It officially belongs to Azerbaijan, but was captured by Armenia 20 years ago, after a war that cost more than 30,000 lives.

                    From the Armenian capital of Yerevan, it took us seven hours to reach the territory, whose name means “Black Garden”. The road traverses mountains with fantastic rock formations and dense beech forests. The last 65 kilometres of tarmac was constructed with $10 million (€8 million) from the Armenian diaspora, replacing a mountain track that cut off Nagorno-Karabakh in the winter.

                    Stepanakert has been rebuilt since it was partly destroyed by Grad missiles in the 1990s. There are boulevards, fashionable shops and cafes with free wifi. Our final destination was Martakert, another hour across a featureless plateau, where my wife Zhanna has relatives.

                    Desolate landscape

                    Along the highway, old Ladas and modern army trucks lurched around each other to avoid deep potholes and flocks of sheep. To the east was an endless drab landscape of deserted villages. The roofless houses were once occupied by Azeris, who lived at peace in Soviet times but were forced to flee when war broke out.

                    The house we stayed at in Martakert was just far enough away so that we didn’t hear the occasional sniper and machine- gun fire down the road. The war may be over, but there is as yet no peace. The town lies beside an active front line, which divides two armies and stretches for hundreds of kilometres in each direction. It’s marked by concrete bunkers, sandbags and camouflage netting.

                    In the week of our visit, 20,000 shots were reportedly fired along the lines, and an Armenian officer and two Azeri soldiers were killed. There is no formal contact between the troops, not even a telephone line, though local conscripts have been known to meet at night in no-man’s land to exchange cigarettes and recall how their parents were friends in the Soviet era.

                    Many of the recruits stationed in Martakert are from Armenia proper, here to do their national service, for “independent” Nagorno-Karabakh is a practically a province of Armenia. The money in circulation is the Armenian dram. Yerevan provides services such as the free gas that flows through yellow pipes into every Martakert building.

                    There is much poverty. Still, our host, like every everyone else in town, has a large garden with vegetables,walnut trees, and pears, figs, grapes, persimmon and pomegranate. Over a meal of dolmadas and lavash bread stuffed with herbs and excellent home-made red wine, we talked of young men from Martakert who had become casualties in the war or were forced to seek a decent life elsewhere, usually in Russia.

                    The adjacent house was wrecked by a shell in 1992 and the family never returned. The official population of Nagorno- Karabakh is 138,000, down from 200,000 before the war. Remittances from those living in Russia have dwindled with the falling rouble.

                    At night we watched Moscow television channels. Russia is allied with Christian Armenia and provides a sense of protection against a full-scale invasion from Moslem Azerbaijan, which has been investing petro-dollars to upgrade its military with the declared aim of recovering lost territory.

                    Accidental war

                    The danger on this East-West fault line is war by accident, which could draw in Russia, Iran and Turkey. This year has seen the worst casualties along the front since 1994.

                    In August, Russia president Vladimir Putin – in the unfamiliar role of peacemaker – presided over an emergency summit of the Armenian and Azerbaijan presidents to try to reactivate a peace process that would involve a phased return to Azerbaijan of occupied regions around Karabakh and an eventual referendum in the status of the region.

                    People in the “Black Garden” are preparing to hold special commemorations next year to commemorate the 1915 Armenian Genocide. They hope it will not be remembered for more bloodshed.
