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.

    No, use a ballistic missile (scud) for the rusty pipe is pity... Armenian army can use its wm80 or grads

        Assuming this is true, even though Russia might put S-300 in Azerbaijan against any potential cruise or Tactical ballistic missiles from Iran, with the range and low altitude capabilities of the S-300, just the fact that it is there and whoever is on the trigger, it is a danger to our SU-25s and even the Mil Mi-24s, especially if there are plans to take out the Azeri targets (runways) with our SU-25s deep in enemy territory in case of war.
        This will make a lot of Armenian pilots nervous.

          That could be, but what about long-range strategic targets as airports and radar stations, or cities deep into Azerbaijani territories (where the scuds and others missiles could be useful)?

          Nevertheless, this could tip the military balance...

            Moscow and Yerevan will make changes to the agreement on Russian military base in the Armenian
            Moscow. July 30. INTERFAX.RU - Russia and Armenia signed a protocol, which amends the treaty on Russian military base in Armenia. Government decision on the submission of the president of Russia offers to sign the protocol is placed in a database of normative acts of the Cabinet.


            In accordance with the draft protocol to the Treaty on the base will be changed according to which "a Russian military base in Armenian territory but to exercise the functions to protect Russia's interests provides, together with the armed forces of Armenia, the security of this republic."

            According to the document, "the use of military forces of the Russian military base is based on mutual agreement of the parties to the Treaty on Collective Security of 15 May 1992, the Treaty of Friendship, Cooperation and mutual assistance between Russia and Armenia on August 29, 1997, and in accordance with the laws of the parties . In addition, the draft protocol proposed article 26 of the Treaty shall read as follows: "The contract is valid for 49 years and is automatically renewed for subsequent periods of five years, unless either party notifies in writing not less than six months prior to the expiration of the term of the contract the other party of intention to terminate it.

              6 Dead in Firefight at Karabakh Army Post
              [ 2010/07/30 | 13:08 ] society

              Information sketchy as to what happened; official sources tight-lipped

              As a result of an incident involving the discharge of firearms on July 26, at a military unit in the Martuni district of the NKR under the command of Colonel Felix Baghdasaryan, six people were killed according to circulating reports.

              Hetq has been able to comprise the following list of those killed – Robert Hovhannisyan (Vanadzor), Andranik Sargsyan (20 years-old from Yerevan), Vardges Tadavosyan ( a 28 year-old officer with three children).

              Artur Sakounts, who heads the Vanadzor branch of the Helsinki Association, told lragir.am that the incident began when a lieutenant and a sergeant arrived at the post and found a soldier asleep while on duty. They woke him up and began to berate him with insults.

              At that point, another soldier at the post opened fire on the officer and sergeant, killing them both. Three other army personnel rushed to the scene but were also shot dead by the soldier. Seeing that more soldiers were rushing towards him, the soldier then turned the gun on himself and committed suicide.

              Mr. Sakounts says the rogue soldier was Karo Ayvazyan from Yerevan. He had lived for a while in the United States and some reports say he served some jail time there. Mr. Sakounts also says that Ayvazyan had some mental problems that the army apparently overlooked or weren’t aware of when he was conscripted.

              He tried to get the names of the others killed form Moushegh Aghekyan, who works at the Defense Ministry’s Press Office. He told us that he didn’t have the names but that the Ministry would be issuing a statement in about one hour.

              We also contacted Senor Hasratyan, who heads the Public Affairs and Press Division with the NKR Defense Forces. His reply was that, “I have no connection with such information.”

              We should note that the current NKR Minister of Defense, Movses Hakobyan, was one of the former commanders of this military post and that Artsakh and Armenia National Hero Monte Melkonian played a role in its establishment.

              Editor – Since official news sources have remained tight-lipped regarding the incident, we have been reporting details of the incident as they come in. We are in the process of verifying such reports.

                  Although Armenia should be vigilant it appears that selling S300s to Azerbaijan has more to do with possible attack by US/Israel on Iran.

                  According to RT US troops currently are stationed in Azerbaijan and Azerbaijan is not denying it.
                  Azerbaijan is saying that US troops are there as peace keepers against armed rebels ( I wonder who do they have in mind).

                  Listen carefully to the second part of this report.


                  There appears to be concern about Turkey/Iran cooperation.

                  Azerbaijan's role in all this very confusing.

                  Sorry if this is seen as off topic.
                  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

                    I know many US (NATO) war planes fly over Georgia and Azerbaijan on their way to Afghanistan. There has been talks of using two airbases in Azerbaijan under a partnership agreement with NATO which supposedly has nothing to do with Iran other than bad timing....hard to believe though. There was also talk of US using Artsakh border city (Fizuli?) with Iran but according to Iranian ambassador to Armenia no such deal will be approved.

                    It is true though, Israel has massed troops in Saudi airbase
