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.

It is the farthest it can be from the Armenian border so it will become a logistic problems in regards to heavy equipments and war machines.
    Plus, I didn’t mean stopping an invasion but I meant impeding their efforts.



    Known Azeri Airbases
    Interesting point about the airbase.. But,

    how deep could Aras river be in that area? I doubt it would be a problem for BMP-2 or 3s to go through it, as for tanks and other heavy armour, they could find an area narrow enough to go through it. It's pretty flat area, not like the border near Ani.
    If they are determind to go through a little bridge wont hold them back.

    the first thing that has to go is that bridge and the airport IMHO. They wont have to go far to get into armenia though, just take left to get into M-2 right after the border. The M-2 is going to be very important in such a battle.

    I'm sure they have an invasion plan since that time of that article. They're not idiots, but we have to be smarter.

      The border terrain is not very rugged, it is completely flat and treeless. Nor is it "some old bridge" - the bridge is modern, concrete, four lanes wide, and reached by a highway from Igdir that is probably better than any road in Armenia. The river is not particularly wide, and the swampy lands that formerly existed (and which, in the 19th century, defined the route the current Turkey-Iran border still follows) are all drained. But this subject is so pointless, why waste time replying? My message to you is the same as that given to arakeretzig. Even in an Armenia run by complete morons, nobody there could ever be that stupid as to attempt to take even one inch of Nakhchivan's territory.

            Medvedev in Baku for Talks on Karabakh, Energy, Security
            Medvedev always has a worried expression, and his eyes always look like he is straining to see what is going on behind himself - like he thinks something unpleasant is about to slither down the back of his neck (which is perhaps why he always wears his shirts with a tight collar and tie), or he thinks Putin's goons are about to arrive and cart him off to some unknown destination.


            Separated at birth: Dmitry Medvedev and Nigel Farage (crazy British MEP). Check out google images for the proof.

              I can now imagine you humping away at its concrete pillars. That is not an image I want to have.

                  Nigel Farage is far more fun than Medvedev!
