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.

    You must be talking about Shahumyan which was lost to the Azeri Army in the war. Its still occupied along with a very small Armenian enclave to the North. Other areas were indefensible positions the NKR defense army fell back from. These small enclaves in both countries largely dont mean anything. One of the enclaves in Armenia doesnt even have buildings within its territory, its a damn park.
    The small enclaves are irrelevant as Chubs mentioned and nobody on either side is going to attempt to "liberate" what amounts to the equivalent of parking lots.

    As far as I know Armenia never really lost Shahumian. The area was unanimously Armenian before the war. However in 1991, Soviet and Azeri forces together deported the population, and from the outbreak of the war Armenians were attempting to retake it. Serious attempts were made towards the end when Armenia was on the offensive but without results.

    Part of this was intentional as the current borders of Artsakh are ideal for defense as they form nearly a perfect quadrilateral, minimizing the length of the borders and making the most of higher ground and mountains.

    I find it unnecessary for Armenians to create these maps claiming these areas that we don't control. Because if we're going to follow that route why not include Western Armenia and Nakhichevan, etc. We control what we control, and that should be our focus. If there is a war and Armenia makes advances, we'll take what is reasonable and strategically advantageous. Not what anything anyone considers "historic territory" or anything of the like, since no Armenians live there.

      I feel the author doesn't really know a whole lot about the topic. Azerbaijan doesn't have any advantage, and more importantly, this advantage is definitely not widening. That's why I don't think war is imminent or even realistic in 2015. Simply because if Azerbaijan had an advantage and thought they had a chance, they would have invaded by now.

        Armenians controlled Shahumian before the goranboy offensive during this offensive we lost Shahumian and most of Martakert. We took back most of Martakert, exept for a piece with some villages in the east that is still controlled by Azerbaijan, but we didn't take Shahumian.

        Also showing the areas on maps is important for the history of the conflict and also to countering Azeri claims of Armenians taking Azer inhabited land by showing that Azerbaijan took Armenian inhabited lands.

              It was smart of Armenian forces to retreat back into the highlands instead of defending the regions below in the flatlands. Its gonna be an uphill fight for the Azeris if they try to take it back, and Armenians are more than willing to kick them in their heads.
              Armenian colony of Glendale will conquer all of California!

                  Thank you for the videos Federate.

                  I hope I am not flippant under the cercumstances,
                  at the beginning of the video a soldier was obviously struggling to cut some logs for firewood.

                  I had seen this device on youtube which appears to ease cutting those logs.
                  It is something that it could be made in Armenia and provided to our troops or indeed far away villages.


                  .
                  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

                    About Asker dead Say a Word

                    Two days ago some Armenian media published unofficial information perished under an avalanche in the mountains of Nakhchivan of Azerbaijan Asker: Senior Lieutenant Anara Kerimov and enlisted Mehdi Zeynalova.

                    It was also reported three Asker wounded in a shootout with Armenian soldiers in Beylagan region.

                    Azerbaijani media then fell silent in confusion, and the Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan gained courage in the genus formalin, in ordinary cases, used for long-term storage of corpses askerni. Hung in the air all appeal to the Minister of Defense of Azerbaijan Z. Hasanov requests dead Asker put in a word.

                    Insist on the death of A. Karimov and M. Zeynalov did not we, "Voskanapat" for example, is satisfied by the very fact of death askerni.

                    However, today, April 9, Azerbaijani media finally got permission to publish reports of deaths unlucky climbers - askers. Well, better late than never. This - as regards information. As for the fact of death askers, in this case the statement acquires a different formulation: better yesterday than today.
