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.

    From 1850-1917 the region was part of the Erivan Governorate
    At the start of the 20th century, Armenians made up about 42% of the total population
    Despite earlier reassurances Nakhichevan, along with Artsakh and Kirovabad, was given to Azerbaijan
    In about 5 years after taht, that 40% turned into 10%, and pretty soon zero after that
    During the war, as the tide had turned in favor of Armenia, there was attempts to retake Nakhichevan as well, but they were shut because of hesitance by the Armenian govt, and pressure by regional powers.

    If Armenia had taken Nakhichevan in 93-94, our fortunes would have been dramatically different today. All major Armenian Soviet transport routes (rail/highway) to Iran run through Nakhichevan. Whereas the Iranian-Armenian border is 35km of mountainous hell, Nakhichevan shares more that 200km of border with Iran. Billions would have been saved in attempts to build highways and rails in that impossible terrain, while boosting the Armenian economy massively from the start of independence.
    Great response, thanks!

      The reason why Armenia didnt take Nakhichevan was because of Turkey.
      In light of the Armenians' advance into Azerbaijan, Turkey's prime minister Tansu Çiller, warned the Armenian government not to attack Nakhichevan and demanded that Armenians pull out of Azerbaijan's territories. Thousands of Turkish troops were sent to the border between Turkey and Armenia in early September. Russian Federation forces in Armenia in turn countered their movements and thus warded off the possible Turkish participation in the conflict.

          I think i know whats going on with these raids. The azeris hope that these constant raids and firefights will annoy Armenia and eventually make Armenia attack azerbaijan. The Armenians will be viewed as the aggressors, which would win more allies for azerbaijan.

                  They are testing our weak point in the border,and with a new defense minister in charge of the military,they are trying to portray change in the army to their people and to "guarantee" a win in the next war so the people don't coupe against aliyev.also a good away to disturb Armenians with hostilities in front making us less active on the issue of genocide centennial,what u point out is a good way to blame it all on us at the end like a whiny turd like they are,good thinking there

                      Ohanyan also toured the fourteenth international specialized exhibition “Health Service and Pharmacy EXPO,” which the YCRDI is hosting.

                      In addition, the defense minister paid a visit to the presentational center being constructed in the area of the MOD Institute for Military Industry Production.
