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.

      ARMENIAN SOLDIER WOUNDED IN NAGORNO-KARABAKH MILITARY POST

      17:38 â~@¢ 10.12.15

      A serviceman of the Nagorno-Karabakh Defense Army was seriously
      wounded in a military post on December 9, according to a spokesperson
      of Armenia's Ministry of Defense.

      Speaking to Tert.am, Artsrun Hovhannisyan said that the soldier, Razmik
      Abrahamyan, is now under treatment at the Ministry's Central Military
      Clinical Hospital. He added that his condition is now estimated as
      grave but stable.

      A deputy director of the hospital, Artashes Khachatryan, later told
      our correspondent that Abrahamyan had received a piercing bullet
      wound in the chest.

      He was immediately operated on by the clinic's specialists who later
      hospitalized him.

        Watching this video, it seems like the Azeri position is terrible-- looks like we could cause 20-30 casualties and destroy that set of buildings with about an hour of sustained shelling (most of the troops ran into the trench, while commander bolted in his car, and this seems to be a large plain with no natural protection). Is this true on the Artsakh side too, or are our vanguard units more heavily protected, at least by natural obstacles?

          Is it possible we are the ones escalating the recent tension due to the politics currently going in our country? Is it possible Russia has given the order for us to increase the tension in hopes to indirectly going to war with turkey? I mean as much as azerbaijan is run by a pile of xxxx, I suspect we aren't angels 100% of the time.

            This shelling occurred just east of Aghdam sector I believe- after Aghdam the land is flat terrain/plains all the way to Baku. Armenian positions are almost always strategically located in higher terrain with better composition- the Azeris hold some favorable ground on the border with N.E. Armenia/ Tavush but elsewhere it is apparent that the Armenian military chose positions carefully and utilize several lines of defenses. The Azeri attitude towards defensive positions seem to suggest they are makeshift and very temporary with little regards to much practical usage if incurring a direct attack. Indeed, if Armenian forces wanted to, the Azeri position could have been shelled for a more prolonged period of time with perhaps a few more 82mm mortars and the damage would of course been multiplied but I believe the point was made.

              Sure it is possible. What is going on politically in Hayastan and Azerbadjan are similar and both can use this to distract the bad situation at home. The azeris have been escalating things for a long time so I do not feel bad if we return the favor.

                Is Armenpress ok? If not we have Azbarez and Panarmenian reporting too. I'm not gonna list RFE because I'm sure you're allergic to that too.

                Azerbaijan once again showed by using tanks against Artsakh that it is a crazy, fascist, terrorist state. Its policy and steps do not fit in sound reasoning....


                Anyway, why won't we take out that s*cker with an Anti-tank guided missile?

                  First things first, I am not offended by your comments, in fact I do not feel anything other than take note of your comments.
                  I wish similarly you would take the comments made by others in good faith.
                  You do not have to agree with what is being said and do not demand the same.

                  If people make critical remarks usually it is something specific, it up to you to respond to that point or not.

                  As far as our authorities doctoring material for purposes of propaganda I suggest if they do not do that they would be failing in their duties.
                  Propaganda is used by all, both for its own people as well as the enemy. The other side is the same, only competences differs.

                  If you think our army is whiter than white and the most trusted institution, the fact is it is being accused for coercing young conscripts to vote in a particular way during the recent elections.

                  Despite the fact that you admit by saying you seem to insist we should listen and believe everything the authorities dish out.


                  .
                  I respect you answer...let's agree to disagree! I do not wish to engage in a futile discussion with you about your claims on so called "coercions", as you have made your political affiliation very clear multiple times in this forum and multiple times have been directed by moderators to take the political discussion elsewhere. Just a piece of brotherly advice, because in the end there are no enemies here...we are all Armenians with different opinions and that's everyone's right (to have an opinion i.e.). Here's what I do not believe in. I do not believe that the armed forces of our country are necessarily commanded by the best of officers. I do not believe that the Armenian government is not corrupt. I do not believe that we currently are in our best situation both in Armenia and in the diaspora. HOWEVER, I do believe that throwing accusations about our army without any sensible proof just because your point of view (or the point of view of the people you support) failed in the recent referendum (it was a referendum not an election) is a very serious issue. I do believe that there are also good people in the Armenia, who are void of corruption and who are working day and night for a better Armenia and not seeing this and painting everything black is one of the reasons why Armenia has problems developing as a nation. I do believe that within the current power struggle in Armenia there is no one I trust less than the people who are ready to take Armenia to a bloody revolution with unknown consequences, for their own agenda. Especially when this struggle is headed by an Ex-President who sold Karabakh to Azerbaijan, an American Spy who had been on CIA payroll since the 90s and a young fellow who in 2008 called upon the soldiers of the Armenian army to "not obey their orders and pass on to his side"...just one question...what would have happened if a squadron of our armed forces had passed to the other side and opened fire on another squadron of soldier who didn't pass? A massacre in down town Yerevan...but it's ok for these people, because that's what they were required to do.

                  Armenia is not the best of nations...true...there is alot of corruption and bad seed...also true! but there are also good things going on there...and I have seen it with my own eyes with every time I have been there. Taking into account what Western backed revolutions did to Georgia and Ukraine, I don't think that's the best viable option now. Armenia needs an evolution, not a revolution... and evolution starts by respecting government institutions (not the people but the institutions). If you have a problem with the people in our govt...that's your right...most of them are not the best of people around anyway. But when you start mixing between our defense institutions and the data coming from it with what you think about the government in Armenia...then there's a serious mix up here which you need to tackle!

                  Anyway! I thank you for your very respectful answer and hope that one day we'll have a country we can all equally say we are proud of.
