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.

        Can or will someone give a cursory interpretation?
        Thanks in advance.
        He answers very diplomatically , 1) Question is what he thinks about Tsarukians wishes of being the next President and topple the current regime :
        Answer = My opinion is that every citizen has the right to claim political post ,presidential or another he is freely to do so ,have in mind that we have a good president that has participated in the war and is acting in modernisation and development of the army that has many issues ,he added that many people that have started as soldiers has promoted into higher rank also in generals , they have also now have acting position in political parties and matters !

        2)Question : So you are saying that Tsarukian will not ot he is not capable to modernise and develop the army ? Also Aren't you also claiming the position of President ? Will u participate in the presidential elections of 2018 ?



        Answer : I did not said that he will not be able to modernise the army but we have the current president that acts very well in that matter , Tsarukian is free to challenge and claim any political post he likes as every free citizen !
        Why u are asking me if i will be the president in the 2018 , 2018 is very far away u know in 2 years many things can change currently im Minister of Defence and im seeking into solving military matters and numerous problems that army faces.

            The Spartans of Artsakh


            BY NORA MARKARIAN YACOUBIAN
            From Horizon Weekly
            On my recent trip to Yerevan, a friend of mine whose name I will not disclose at this time, organized a three day trip to Artsakh for us.
            Suffering from lack of sleep, and exhaustion, I tetxed him in the middle of the night that I must cancel.
            He called me early next morning to check on my condition and bid his farewells.
            There are moments in your life where you sense that there was a missed opportunity, that you should have made the extra effort and “been there”. You would never be able to recreate the experience ever again. It’s as if the Gods planned it, the power and the beauty of the forests unfolding its splendor and the wilderness dictating the law of the land…where in a moment of fierce battle and sniper shots you are moved with the tenderness by nothing more than animals crossing your path.
            I worried for his safety and emailed him to ask how he was. I got an excited response saying he had so much to tell.
            I waited until he returned. We met at 10:00 AM at Cafe Louis Chadren on Amiryan Street. I could tell that it was no ordinary adventure that he had experienced. After our lattes and croissants arrived, he leaned over and in a soft voice began his story…
            It started with his driver Samvel who had picked up a female passenger to accompany my friend to Artsakh. They introduced themselves and it turned out that she was an Officer serving in the Artsakh army. He would never have guessed. She looked like any other ordinary women scurrying the streets of Yerevan. She shared her story of bravery and honor. She had lost her husband when her sons were 3 and 1.
            She spoke at length about love of land and country and their duty to protect it at any cost. Not only was she still an active Officer, but her son, now over 21 and 23 had served as well. He listened carefully, absorbing every detail on his long journey.
            Once they arrived to Stepanakert, they were welcomed by her two handsome boys. As is the hospitable and generous custom of the people of Artsakh, they insisted that my friend break bread with them and eat khorovats. The boys had even attempted to make dolma to impress their mother after her long absence.
            Their mother…
            At the the same time, their brother, their father, their army commander… clearly a woman that wore many hats. For an instant, he was taken back to the brave women of 1915 who readily bore arms and were willing to die for country and freedom. Had 100 years passed so quickly? Before him stood small framed Gayane. Yet, one sensed the power and strength of this woman and the determination in her eyes. She looked so much older than 45. He caught a glimpse of an old picture on a corner table covered with hand woven embroidery in her tiny living room. A handsome man, sporting a large mustache. Her son Hayk looked exactly like the gentleman in the photo. He assumed that this was her late husband. Her guardian angel.
            My friend and the two boys went for a long walk. He wondered how these two boys could be so good natured, so positive, with such incredible wit and humor. Young men back home complained profusely if their cell phone batteries died or their Internet was temporarily disabled. He knew too well that many here, from this generation, grew up with no fathers or few male figures. Their heroes lay in make shift graveyards with simple crosses or modest tombstones.
            They exchanged coordinates and he promised he would soon return.
            He was excited that he was finally at the frontline. Aghdam was completely flattened and barren as if no one had ever lived there before. He was given a bullet proof vest and told to be very cautious since enemy lines were only a few hundred meters away. He assured the commanding Officer that the sound of sniper bullets were familiar to him from his days during the civil war in Lebanon.
            He flinched as he felt the heat of the bullets torpedo above him. He held his camera high with both hands in the air, lowered his head for cover and tried to take photos of the enemy. His heart raced quickly.
            His mind was flooded with whispers and voices. “We fight for love of country. The land is our soul…”
            It was at that moment of living life on the edge that time momentarily stopped. He watched as a female dog lazily crossed the dusty road. Dogs were used to alert our soldiers whether or not Azeris were closing in. He noticed that she was a female, her breasts filled with milk. Moments later, he saw a tiny kitten approach the mother dog and help herself to her milk.
            He was stunned. He gave the General in charge a perplexed look. He was told that the mother cat had died and the dog adopted this little kitten. He watched in disbelief. Were they not enemies? Yet they clung to one another for dear life. Another one of God’s miracles.
            Moments later, a soldier tapped on my friend’s shoulder and asked him to look up at the sky. A majestic eagle soared, with an object dangling from its beak. As he looked through his binoculars, he saw that a snake was being carried off to be devoured. Was this another sign? Would we crush the enemy soon?
            Our borders were armed with impressive artillery. Enlisted soldiers in army fatigues, white crosses painted on their uniforms, waited patiently to strike…men and women from every part of Armenia, alongside their brothers and sisters from Artsakh.
            He remembered his favorite quote of Spartan women who bid farewell to their husbands and sons before they left for battle. “Either come back with your shield or on it”. He had no doubt that the people of Artsakh lived by the same code of honor.
            He studied our soldiers carefully, remembering the headlines only a few weeks back, “Another Armenian killed by Azeri fire.”
            “How sad”, he had thought. We throw the newspapers aside, switch the television off, or press “delete” after reading an article regarding the constant struggle at our borders. The names now had faces.
            The men and women wanted nothing more except to reclaim what is rightfully ours. He now found himself in the trenches, with fearless fighters.
            Each one had left an entire family behind, not knowing if they would ever return. Young and old, side by side… willing to die for love of country. They were focused, determined, covered with dust and remnants of gun powder. And they were ready to pay with their lives… husbands, fathers, son, mothers, sisters, daughters, serving on our front lines.
            It angered him how some sit in their comfortable surroundings, judge and criticize from a far, convincing themselves that they have participated and somehow fulfilled their political duty. How insignificant his life in Montreal suddenly seemed amongst these men that fought like lions!
            He remembered going to a cemetery in Artsakh the year before with Tamar. He found her weeping and walked to see what had moved her so much. Three tombstones, side by side, of three brothers who had been killed during the same battle on the same day.
            He was quiet the entire way to Yerevan. He knew he had to tell their story. He owed it to the families of the Spartans of Artsakh.

              ՀՀ զինված ուժերում ազդարարվել է 2015 թվականի ձմեռային ուսումնական փուլի մեկնակը
              2015-02-16
              Զինված ուժերի զորամասերում հանդիսավոր միջոցառումներով փետրվարի 16-ին մեկնարկել է ուսումնական տարվա առաջին փուլը:
              Ուսումնական փուլի մեկնարկը ոչ միայն տոնական տրամադրություն, այլև մեծ պատասխանատվություն է զինված ուժերի անձնակազմի համար: Այն իր հետ բերում է նոր առաջադրանքներ ու խնդիրներ: Վերսկսվում են ուսումնական ծրագրով նախատեսված տեսական ու գործնական պարապմունքները: Եվ, անշուշտ, այս ամենի արդյունքում կրթվում ու դաստիարակվում է զինվորը, ամրապնդվում ու կատարելագործվում են նրա մարտավարամասնագիտական գիտելիքներն ու հմտությունները:
              Ուսումնական նոր փուլի մեկնարկի կապակցությամբ փետրվարի 16-ին ՀՀ պաշտպանության նախարար Սեյրան Օհանյանն այցելել է 5-րդ բանակային զորամիավորման ենթակա սահմանային զորամաս: Զինված ուժերի հատուկ նշանակության ստորաբաժանումներից մեկում անցկացված հանդիսավոր միտինգին էլ ներկա է գտնվել ՀՀ ԶՈՒ ԳՇ պետ, գեներալ-գնդապետ Յուրի Խաչատուրովը: ՀՀ ՊՆ և ԶՈւ ղեկավար կազմը ևս մասնակցել է 2015թ. ձմեռային ուսումնական փուլի մեկնակի կապակցությամբ ԶՈւ զորամասերում կազմակերպված հանդիսավոր միջոցառումներին:
              Շնորհավորելով զինանձնակազմերին և նշելով, որ նախորդ ուսումանական փուլի ընթացքում թե կարգապահության, թե մարտունակության բարձրացման առումով բանակում արձանագրվել են դրական արդյունքներ, պաշտպանության նախարարը և ԶՈՒ ԳՇ պետը հույս են հայտնել, որ այս կիսամյակը իբրև նախորդների շարունակություն ևս հաջողություններով լի ու արգասաբեր կլինի:
              Ըստ Սեյրան Օհանյանի` հակառակորդի սադրիչ գործողություններին հակազդելու միակ միջոցը հայկական զինված ուժերի մարտական պատրաստականության բարձր աստիճանն է և յուրաքանչյուրիս պարտքն է միացյալ ուժերով ուսումնական գործընթացը ծառայեցնել ի նպաստ ազգային բանակի մարտական պատրաստության աստիճանի հետագա բարձրացման: «Իսկ դա շարունակական գործընթաց է, որի վերջնական հանրագումարը ձևավորվում է, ելնելով յուրաքանչյուր զինծառայողի անհատական պատրաստության աստիճանից»,-ընդգծել է Սեյրան Օհանյանը, հավելելով, որ չկա առավել պատվաբեր գործ, քան հայրենիքին ծառայելը:
              Ըստ այդմ` պաշտպանական գերատեսչության հույս է հայտնել, որ ԶՈւ ստորաբաժանումներն առաջադրված խնդիրները հետայսու ևս պատվով կկատարեն և լավ հիմքերի վրա դրված ուսումնական գործընթացը շարունակական ու հաստատուն ընթացք կունենա: Դիմելով զինաձնակազմին` Սեյրան Օհանյանը հորդորել է գիտակցաբար մոտենալ ուսումնական փուլում ներառված մարտական պատրաստականության դասաժամերին, քանի որ անձնակազմի մարտական բարձր պատրաստվածությամբ է նաև պայմանավորված առկա հարաբերական խաղաղության հարատևությունը:
              Համոզմունք հայտնելով, որ մեկնարկած ուսումնական տարին ոչ միայն կամրապնդի նախկինում ձեռք բերվածը, այլև առավել կբարձրացնի զինված ուժերի մարտունակությունը, զորամիավորման ու զորամասի հրամանատարությունն էլ հավաստել են, որ ջանք ու եռանդ չեն խնայի անհրաժեշտ գիտելիքներն ու ունակությունները ենթականերին փոխանցելու համար:
              Խորհրդանշական օրը կրկնակի տոն էր զորամասի անձնակազմի համար. շահագործման հանձնվեց պաշտպանության նախարարության միջոցներով կառուցված հերթական բնակելի շենքը` նախատեսված սպաների և նրանց ընտանիքների համար:
              Այս անգամ բնակարանամուտ են տոնել ավելի քան 40 զինծառայողներ: Շնորհավորելով բնակարանամուտի բերկրանք ապրող զինծառայողներին ու նրանց ընտանիքների անդամներին` պաշտպանության նախարար Սեյրան Օհանյանը զինծառայողներին հանձնել է շինարարական արդի չափանիշներին համապատասխանող բնակարանների վկայագրերը:
              Պաշտպանական գերատեսչության ղեկավարը նշել է, որ զինծառայողների բնակարանային պայմանների բարելավումն ու սոցիալ-կենցաղային մյուս հարցերը մշտապես գտնվում են հանրապետության և ԶՈՒ ղեկավարության ուշադրության կենտրոնում, և արվում է ամենայն հնարավորը, որպեսզի զինծառայողները, իրենց թիկունքում զգալով պետական հոգածությունը և զերծ լինելով կենցաղային խնդիրներից, բարեխղճորեն կատարեն ծառայողական պարտականությունները:
              Բանակային զորամիավորում կատարած շրջայցի ավարտին ՀՀ պաշտպանության նախարարը եղել է նաև զորամասի հիմնովին նորոգված, նոր գույքով ու տեխնիկական միջոցներով հագեցած ակումբում:
