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.

    Women working in Armenia army increase 3 times in 10 years
    12:46, 07.03.2016
    Region:Armenia
    Theme: Society


    YEREVAN. – The number of women working in the Armed Forces of Armenia has increased by about three times, over the course of the past ten years.

    Head of United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) Armenia Country Office, Garik Hayrapetyan, stated the aforementioned at a press conference on Monday.

    He presented the data of a new study on discrimination against women, and which the UNFPA conducted in the country, from 2015 to 2016.

    “In 2001, the number of women in the [Armenian] Armed Forces was 3.3 percent, [but] in 2011—already 8.8 percent,” Hayrapetyan stated. “We haven’t researched this fact is in depth, however, in my opinion, this is due to the fact that the number of cadets [in Armenia] is increasing year by year.”

    In the UNFPA official’s words, the salaries are relatively high in the Armenian Armed Forces, and this is also a reason why numerous women in Armenia prefer this line of work.

      It's the new engines with reduced maintenance and longer life plus current avionics/electronics that extends the mig 29 to valuable status. Without that, they are good for retirement and not much else.
      Nothing but a block hole to throw money into.
      Yes you're right, they will need to be maintained, but Armenians have awesome skills to maintain stuff. The maintenance of our tanks is done fully in Armenia whereas Azeris do their maintenance abroad, mostly Ukraine. We can always train our skilled mechanics to maintain them

        Perchance your misunderstanding . It is not about lack of training to maintain these older jets. It is about the (1) old (2) worn out (3) outdated components of the mig 29..
        The Slovak govt isn't retiring these planes for no reason, but rather because everything on plane needs replacing.
        Well trained maintainence crews won't change the fact these planes need a total overhaul with many upgrades or they are --- old junk ---.
        The only skill that's going to change that is the skill of modernization. The Russians have the new engines and technologies to do that, but I think it costs more like 30 million $$. Not two million $$.
        Russia will sell us identicle mig 29s for $5 if we sign a contract to upgrade them.
        It would be a big waste of manpower/money to maintain those planes ... Hence retirement.
        2 million $$ for those planes is not a good deal when it costs at least two score of millions to bring them into the operable range.
        I know mig 29 sounds alluring, but 2 or 3 or more times the cost and time to keep repairing old stuff compared to the right stuff is --- no fly ---. And even then, we would still be flying outdated stuff.
        Tanks and migs are not good analogy.
        They will do us no good but will bleed us to death.
