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.

    Funny thing is those who preach how good an ally Russia is are in some Western capital or city, not even in Armenia.

      Politics is not about the pursuit of morality nor what's right or wrong
      Its about self interest at personal and national level often at odds with the above.
      Great politicians pursue the National interest and small politicians personal interests

            Analysis from Zoravar (the founder of this thread) on the recent war:

            Originally posted by Zoravar
            My uptake on the matter from a military perspective:

            1) Apart from jet fighters, the Azeris used everything they got: Helicopter gunships, Smerch, all sorts of Israeli UAVs (including Kamikaze ones), Israeli Spike anti-tank missiles, T-90S tanks etc. They showed us everything they have got and their full potential. We used no new system or weapon, we have not revealed our best cards. They also demonstrated to us their infiltration tactics.

            2) With this serious incursion, the Azeri high command may have wanted us to mobilize our reserves and commit them on the battlefield in order to engage us into a nasty war of attrition where they have an advantage in human resources and finances. Our leadership did not fall in the trap. Our reservists were never called (only volunteers signed up). Most of the armed forces were kept in the back. Only the soldiers on the front and their supporting formations (tanks and artillery) did the fighting. As far as I know, even our special forces were kept in reserve.

            3) The biggest damage done to our side was from the Israeli Kamikaze drones (which hit tanks, command posts and a busload of Armenian soldiers)and from the Israeli Spike-NLOS ultra-long range anti-tank guided missile (big 70 kg missile with up to 25 km range). The former can be dealt with the Pantsir-S SAM system that we are supposed to receive as part of our $200 mil. order from Russia. The later can be mitigated by using better concealment, camouflage nets, active anti-tank systems etc.



            4) The Azeri human losses are very significant. While most of our dead soldiers are conscripts. A large part of their dead include their best trained special forces.

            5) In materials terms (and financially), the cost of the 5 day war was much higher to the Azerbaijan army who lost some expensive assets: at least one helicopter, a good number of UAVs and a number of T-90S tanks. We lost some old Soviet era T-72 tanks and other vehicles and absolutely no air assets. By the way, the made in Israel Kamikaze UAVs are very expensive and are designed to be used only on very important targets (not on old tanks).

            6) As far as territory is concerned, We regained all the positions on the northern front. On the southern front, we lost a small hill (Lele Tepe) less than 200 m inside our territory. No strategic significance in that loss, only symbolic and emotional.

              It looks like nobody realized that the Azeris shot down one of their own UAV. Here is a video from Azerbaijan where they are claiming they have shot down an Armenian UAV. In fact is one of their own ORBITER Israeli made drone.

                Serj Tankian: How we can contribute to families of deceased soldiers

                13:46 | April 9,2016 | Politics


                Renowned rock musician Serj Tankian wrote on his Facebook page:

                “According to research, the US government pays a $100,000 “Death
                Gratitude” to soldiers’ families. Families in Azerbaijan receive
                10,000 manat (roughly $6,700). In Armenia and Artsakh, families of
                deceased soldiers receive only 200,000 AMD (roughly $480). As you can
                see families of deceased soldiers in Armenia and Artsakh are
                economically disadvantaged to carry on. It is for this reason that I
                have decided to donate to this amazing non-profit organization called
                the Paros Foundation, who donate 100% of the proceeds directly to the
                affected families. I encourage those who want to contribute to do so
                to them.

                And to all the Azeri trolls paid handsomely by Azerbaijan’s Ministry
                of Offense who have been frequenting my page, I want you to know that
                I really love my ban and delete buttons smile emoticon

                Peace”
