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.

    I dunno. I think we depend on them too much to be considered an ally. I think pawn is better fitting in this situation. I looked up the definition of ally and tried to find an example were an ally screws over his ally. can you find an example of USA giving weapons to 2 strategical allies who are enemies with each other?

    they are using us as a military Base to keep out turkey from their southern flank which just happens to be what we want. Other that that we don't have much in common like serj said.

          Karabakh Fighting Highlights Azerbaijan's New Israeli Weapons
          7 April 2016


          The recent surge of violence in Nagorno Karabakh has brought attention to Azerbaijan's increased reliance on arms from Israel, including two types of drones not previously known to be in Baku's arsenal.

          In one case, Azerbaijan was reported to have used a "Harop" loitering munition, known somewhat fancifully as a "kamikaze drone" because it is itself the bomb. According to Armenian media, on April 4 the Harop hit a bus carrying soldiers to the front and killed five or six of them. It was believed to be the first ever combat use of the system anywhere, reported Jane's Defence Weekly. Azerbaijan sources claim to have used the Harop in other attacks, as well.

          In another episode, the armed forces of Nagorno Karabakh released photos of a ThunderB surveillance drone that they claimed to have shot down on April 2.

          And in a third episode, Azerbaijani sources claim that their side destroyed "six enemy tanks" using an Israeli-made Spike missiles.

          None of these weapons were previously reported to be operated by Azerbaijan. (While it was known that Azerbaijan bought the marine version of the Spike missiles, it's not clear whether it somehow used those for this attack or had secretly also purchased the land forces version, as well.)

          Azerbaijan's arms purchases from Israel have gotten a lot of attention because of their relative novelty, including a whopping $1.6 billion deal signed in 2012.

          Azerbaijan trumpets its warm relations with Israel, framing them as an example of Azerbaijan's tolerance to other religions. But Baku has apparently not been satisfied with the Israeli government's response to this round of fighting: senior presidential adviser Ali Hasanov complained to the Jerusalem Post that Israel hasn't given it enough verbal support. "We view Israel as a strategic partner, and expect it to comment,” he said. “Azerbaijan asks its strategic partner – the State of Israel – to express its attitude toward the latest developments related to the military provocation committed by Armenia in the border of the occupied territories of Azerbaijan.” The Post also notes that "Israel, however, is in no hurry to get involved in a fight pitting Azerbaijan against Armenia." Strictly business, apparently.

          In any case, Azerbaijan still relies relatively little on Israeli weaponry: The Stockholm International Peace Research Institute reported last year that Azerbaijan had acquired 85 percent of its weaponry over the past five years from Russia.

              You'll notice his corrections at the bottom- and the interactive map he's used is incorrect- otherwise not a bad synopsis.

                Azad and Hakob are assessing our situation well. It is good to see some of our people using their heads and making good observations and conclusions. Vrej has always been a traitor. Since day one he has made false statements and assumptions on a consistent bases with complete disregard for facts and consequences. The fact that he (he is actually more then one person) is constantly posting antirussian material designed to drive a wedge between Armenia and Russia is a direct reflection of USA policy to weaken Russia on all fronts. We have seen this policy in play in Ukraine, and in Syria. I do not think any Armenian wants to end up like those countries. Use your brains people, do not let spies like Vrej influence you by playing on your emotions. A nations fate demands cool heads and accurate observations with careful analysis and a prudent plan of action. Serj is, has been, and is still doing a great job when it comes to international relations. Given the cards he is dealt, he has been nothing short of brilliant on this front. Many of the decisions we consider were his choices were not a choice at all but were more along the lines of ultimatums and the least worst case..He did not have good choices to choose from. The line of thinking Vrej is proposing is exactly the same line that lead to our genocide. Disregard for Armenia's security is a mortal mistake and should not even be on the table, but the likes of vrej not only put it on the table but they advise the most dangerous route possible. Do not gamble with the security of Armenia, we made that mistake before and it almost cost us everything. If we make the same mistake again, we will not recover this time.

                  You right when you say we need Russia, but let's not pretend they are our friends. We learned that the hard way in 1918. And when lenin made yerevan a border city in 1921. And now when they are playing with our compatriates lives. At least we can be honest about that. That's what I liked about what Serj said that we don't have real friends. Not even Greece condemed Azeri aggression.

                      The only country that came out with somewhat a strong statement was Cyprus, for obvious reasons.
