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.

      Օրը դիմավորում ենք լավ լուրով

      Սեպտեմբեր 30, 2015 01:03

      Օրը դիմավորում ենք լավ լուրով !!!!

      Թշնամին կրկին պատժվել է

      Արցախի սահմանի հարավ-արևելյան և արևելյան հատվածում /Ակնա և Վարանդա/ մեր տղաները լիկվիդացրել են չորս հեկտար տարչածքի վրա տեղակայված թշնամու խոշոր ռազմաբազան` այսպիսով լռեցնելով մեր դիրքապահների ուղղությամբ արձակվող կրակոցները:

      Պատժիչ գործողությունների արդյունքում շարքից հանվել է թշնամու ռազմական տեխնիկան, 82 մմ ականանետային մարտկոցը, ավտոտեխնիկան, ռազմաբազայի տարածքում գտնվող զորանոցը և այլ շինություններ :

      Թշնամին ունի երկու վիրավոր:

      Ի դեպ, ազիկները արդեն սկսել են հմտանալ թաքնվելու հարցում: Չնայած բախտները չի բերել: Թաքստոցը, որտեղ ծվարել էին 10 գոյուն, ևս ոչնչացվել է: Տասից չորսը փլատակիների տակից դուրս են եկել ու փախել, իսկ մնացած վեցի մասին առայժմ տեղեկություն չկա:

      Հույս պահենք, որ ոչնչացվել են:

      Ամեն մի ոչնչացված թշնամու հետ լռում է նրա զենքը, որ պիտի կրակի մեր դիրքապահների ուղղությամբ:

      Ուրեմն, ինչքան շատ ոչնչացված թուրք, այնքան հանգիստ մեր դիրքերում:

      Ի դեպ, ևս մեկ թշնամի ոչնացվել է երեկ ցերեկը` Ակնայի ուղղությամբ սահմանում:

              Interesting Article back in 1997.


              How Armenia won the war but lost the oil

              Friday 25 July 1997 00:02 BST

              Yerevan - The President of Armenia keeps an atlas on the table in the large room from which he runs his country. But when Levon Ter- Petrossian turns the pages to his own region, his permanent frown must surely deepen to a scowl.

              His eye will alight unhappily on his neighbour Azerbaijan, with whom Armenia has been at war over the mountain enclave of Nagorny-Karabakh. The conflict, which cost 25,000 lives, has yet to be finally settled, despite a two-year ceasefire. For many of his citizens, the issue is as burning a national cause as the 1915 massacre of Armenians by Ottoman Turks. So they are alarmed to see their opponents now have a new weapon: oil. And new friends: the Americans.

              For Armenians, it is an unhappy reversal of fortune. They receive more United States aid than any other country except Israel, not least because of the efforts of a highly motivated diaspora. Azerbaijan, by contrast, is subject to a ban on US aid. Yet now Washington's eyes are straying eastwards, seduced by the riches that lie below the warm waters of the Caspian Sea.

              Armenia has always been touchy about its position on the map. It is acutely aware that it is a Christian state surrounded on three sides by Islam. That sentiment has been deepened by the blockade of two of its four borders - with Azerbaijan and Turkey - following the war which not only left Armenian Karabakhs in control of their enclave, but also left a swath of Azeri land in Armenian hands. Military victory was theirs; yet the country has acquired an embattled, solitary air.

              Mr Ter-Petrossian balks at any mention of the word "isolation". The US and Russia still have interests in his country, he said in a recent interview with The Independent. He does not dispute, however, that there are "problems". "Yes, it's true that the US has very serious interests in Azerbaijan and these are connected with oil," he said. "And it's true that Russia doesn't want to spoil its relations with Azerbaijan because of its interests there."

              "Serious interests" is no exaggeration. US oil giants have 40 per cent of the leading BP-led consortium developing Azerbaijan's oil resources, estimated at twice that of the North Sea. The Azeri President, Haidar Aliyev, a former-member of Brezhnev's Politburo, is soon to be feted for the first time in Washington by President Bill Clinton. A who's who of political heavyweights in the US are pressing for an end to the ban on aid to Baku, including two former national security advisers, George Bush's Secretary of State, James Baker, and the former White House chief-of staff, John Sununu. When it comes to a fight for Washington dollars between the Armenia diaspora and the oil lobby, it is an unequal contest. The oilmen are the favourites.

              Though still close, relations with the Russians have also changed. Moscow's old divide-and-rule policy in the Trans-Caucasus has changed. In 1994, Moscow's generals dispatched $1bn of free arms to Yerevan and Russian involvement was suspected in assassination attempts against Mr Aliyev and Eduard Shevardnadze in Armenia's neighbour, Georgia. Now Moscow also smells the bouquet of oil. The Russian company Lukoil has been cut into Azerbaijan's Caspian operations.

              For Armenia, the heaviest blow came at the Lisbon summit of the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe last December. Every country (except Armenia) supported a resolution stating that Nagorny-Karabakh should receive the highest level of autonomy - but within Azerbaijan. "Ever since then, they have felt that the world is ganging up on them," one diplomat said. "There has been a change of mentality, a hunkering down."

              Mr Ter-Petrossian, 52, a former academic, has not always helped his cause. Immediately after Armenia gained independence, he was seen by the West as one of the better behaved new leaders. The economy shrank by half and much of the republic slumped into poverty. But he pushed on with market reforms. Lately, his reputation has become tarnished. He banned an opposition party, and closed several newspapers. Last September, a scandal erupted when he was re-elected by a poll condemned by international observers as seriously flawed. There was alarm about the disparity of 22,013 between voters and the number of coupons registered. Mr Ter-Petrossian won by 21,941 votes.

              "Those were not ideal elections," he said. "Yes, there were violations. There were technical violations, violations by the electoral commissions, violations by the opposition and shortcomings of the law." He admits that the elections "did a lot of damage internationally" but insists the result was unaffected. His second term will be critical.

              Manoeuvrings over a settlement with Baku over Nagorny-Karabakh are underway. There has been talk of giving Armenia, which holds one-fifth of Azeri territory, the route for the main pipeline exporting Azeri oil. Mr Ter- Petrossian seems to take the proposal seriously, though he says he will not allow it to be linked to the Karabakh issue and accuses Mr Aliyev of using it as a "weapon" in negotiations. He talks of "special status" for Karabakh - one that stops short of recognising it as part of Azerbaijan.

              Mr Ter-Petrosian's position is not easy. Without a settlement, this nation of 3.5 million risks missing out on the regional benefits of Caspian oil and its national sense of being history's whipping boy will deepen. But compromise with Baku is certain to be met with a backlash at home. Try proposing a toast to "friendship among nations" at an Armenian dinner. A harmless gesture? Not in Yerevan. When this correspondent did it, the smiles around the table froze. Friendship with Baku - oil or no oil - still sends shivers up Armenian spines.

                I think we have oil..(out of topic)

                There are 1 million barrels of oil in Armenia – U.S. Geological Survey

                  Defense Ministry of Nagorno Karabakh Republic: Azerbaijan had 22 casualties and from 60-80 injured during several days

                  16:08, 30 September, 2015
                  YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 30, ARMENPRESS. Defense Minister of the Republic of Artsakh Levon Mnatsakanyan announced that the casualties of the Azerbaijani side exceeded the announced number in the result of the border incidents during the last several days. As “Armenpress” reports, Mnatsakanyan informed about this in his speech in Artsakh Parliament.

                  Artak Beglaryan, Spokesperson for Nagorno Karabakh Rebublic Prime Minister, quoted in his “Twitter” micro blog a passage from Levon Mnatsakanyan’s speech, which reads as follows: “Azerbaijan had 22 casualties and from 60-80 injured”.

                  The Defence Army of Artsakh announced numerous times that Azerbaijan Defence Ministry continues to hide its own losses to confuse its own public and to conceal the failures of the chosen criminal tactics.

                    What I'm enjoying lately is that neither the azeri defense minister or the baboon president

                    came up with obsured speeches and claims of "winning"in the upcoming war or

                    "liberating"Karabakh,or telling their public Armenia is falling in shambles and is in mass

                    Histeria.I feel like these last few days were an eye opener for them that Armenia isn't infact

                    weak and they aren't as strong just because they have few fancy price tagged eye candy

                    weapons.besides the vengeance and physical harm,we have done a great psychological

                    impact on their society and slowed down their information warfare;long live and prosper

                    Armenian armed forces.

                      We are very fortunate the Kurds are occupying Turkey from further assisting Azerbaijan.
