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.

    YEREVAN. – Well-informed sources report that one of the key issues of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan’s recent visit to China was to obtain an agreement on supplying arms to Armenia with reduced rates, Haykakan Zhamanak daily reported.

    “[But] our sources do not specify whether or not this matter was resolved.

    “Analysts note, however, that the separatist aspirations of the Turkic-speaking minorities living in northwestern China always troubles Beijing. And Armenia is the only country situated between China and Turkey which is free from the Turkish element. This means that there are objective conditions for China-Armenia strategic cooperation,” Haykakan Zhamanak wrote.

        You misunderstood.....50 is the max age that you can be pulled to war is what I meant, and like you said. Are you sure about 19? seems it can be 17.
        However I have a feeling if war broke out Armenians over 50 will fight......most of the Veterans are over 50 now. They be backup for our Army. Right now as we speak Chubs there are Veterans who hold the hard mountainous terrain and most are over 50 and have their cabins trenches, ect....
        They live up there almost

I don't think feeding your soldiers is a problem in any country outside of lower income nations with serious food shortages for the general population. They certainly wouldn't be an issue in middle income countries like Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Geor

            Also it's ridiculous to make these claims for a contract soldier. They would be less ridiculous for a 18 year old conscript who is forced to be there for two years possibly against his wishes. However, this man was a 24 year old contract soldier who chose to be there.

            Moreover, even if the guy was a conscript, nobody in their sane mind would escape to Azerbaijan from Armenia if they had problems, short of them having committed and being wanted for serious crimes. Being bullied and not likeling your senior officers would not motivate any sane person to head to a land where likely they will be tortured and killed. yes the legacy of "Dedovshchina" or military hazing remain in Armenia from Soviet times, and they do result in embarrassing events here and there, but their nothing out of the ordinary compared to other countries in the region, and are in fact lower most soviet states. In fact non combat deaths are low and have declined every year for a couple of years in a row now

            Not that it needs to be said, but they took us to front line a couple of years ago with Birthright Armenia and we got to eat with the soldiers etc. As would be expected they ate normal food in normal portions. I don't know how describe it beyond that. It wasn't spectacular or meant to impress anyone, but it was regular food that one would expect in such a place. Also, the soldiers on the fronts where we were actually told us most of the guys who end up on the fronts volunteer to be here. I don't know if that applies to other places, but that was our interaction with them and they seemed genuinely enthusiastic. This wasn't some photo op or media attempt. we got to sit down and speak with them, and they shown genuine and in depth knowledge and had passion for the cause, and seemed to be very proud of what they were doing.
            I agree, contract troops are usually very patriotic. The idea that a contract volunteer would surrender to an army for no reason, especially to an army and country that would rather kill him, is retarded at best.

            Volunteers are usually the bravest, always willing to go the farthest whereas conscripts, depending on the person, usually lag behind a little. My question is

            How did Azerbaijan capture him to stage this "surrending"?

                  “The Russians promised to return the liberated regions or Nagorno-Karabakh to Azerbaijan.” Politician
                  17:06 | April 1 2015

                  In the conversation with Aravot, the expert for French Military Research Foundation Gaydz Minasyan, in response to the question of why Serzh Sargsyan touched upon the subject of sale of weapons to Azerbaijan by Russia, noted,

                  “Russians suggested Azerbaijan to be a member of the EaEU, instead, perhaps, promising to return the liberated regions or simply the Karabakh to Azerbaijan. Azerbaijan refused joining the EaEU. Serzh Sargsyan, then, played another game, realizing that the relations between Azerbaijan and Russia are not so good. If Armenia had not joined the EaEU, Russia would interfere with the stability of Armenia, now, they have no reason for doing so. Russians do not want hot situations anywhere, there is a Ukrainian crisis, as well as socio-economic problems inside Russia.

                  In this situation, Serzh Sargsyan exercised his diplomatic tactics. Using some problems between Russia and Azerbaijan, he touched upon the subject of arms sales to Azerbaijan by Russia”.

                      Newest K-3 rifle variant can be seen in this video, pics have been posted before by burjuin.

                      I guess the development for it is still on going. Rifle seems to have a bit of weight to it:
