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.

  • Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan

    Stepanakert Airport is classified as a Military Airbase operated under NK Defense Forces.

    The airport is at an elevation 2000 ft MSL (above sea level), single runway (headings 05/23), with usable runway length of 7100 ft (plenty of asphalt for most military aircraft, however say a Boing 747 will be at its limmits and dangerous to attempt a landing or stop in time on a rejected take-off fully loaded).

    So far the airport is not listed (does not have a code) under ICAO (International Civil Aviation Organization).............however I am sure it is listed under aviation sectional charts used by pilots issued by Armenia and Russia.

      Karabakh Armed Forces Holds Major Drills Near Border

      STEPANAKERT (RFE/RL)—The Nagorno-Karabakh Republic’s armed forces held on Friday what appeared to be large-scale military exercises monitored by Armenia’s visiting President Serzh Sarkisian and Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian.

      The regular exercises began on November 1 in the Armenian-controlled section of the Aghdam district east of Karabakh, just kilometers away from Azerbaijani army positions.

      Sarkisian and Ohanian, both of them natives and former military leaders of Nagorno-Karabakh, watched the final phase of the war games together with the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic’s leadership. Their press offices issued no statements in connection with that as of late evening.

      The Armenian president was expected to inaugurate on Saturday newly constructed apartment buildings for Karabakh Armenian military personnel. He likewise opened a new military base during a June visit to Karabakh.

      The Karabakh government and military made no officials statements on the exercises involving heavy artillery and other military hardware. Nor did they allow local journalists be present at the drills.

      News reports from Baku said powerful explosions could be heard in Azerbaijani-controlled territories close to the Armenian-Azerbaijani “line of contact” in recent days.

      The APA news agency said heavy fire across the frontline intensified on Friday, causing tremors in nearby Azerbaijani towns and villages. Citing local residents, it suggested that the Karabakh forces are holding their largest ever exercises.

      The drills come against the backdrop of more frequent cease-fire violations reported from various sections of the frontline in recent months. Meeting in Russia late last month, Sarkisian and Azerbaijan’s President Ilham Aliyev pledged to bolster the ceasefire regime.

      Incidentally, Aliyev visited the Azerbaijani-controlled section of Aghdam and adjacent areas earlier this week. Speaking in the town of Yevlakh, he again warned that Baku will try to win back Karabakh and Azerbaijani districts surrounding it by force if the protracted peace talks with Armenia yield no tangible results soon. “I have no doubts that our armed forces are capable of achieving objectives set for them with honor and within a short period of time,” Aliyev said, according to Day.az.

          So would the Azerbaijani.
          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

                    here is there response

                    Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry: “Armenians’ military exercises in Nagorno Karabakh remind childish sports”

                    [ 13 Nov 2010 14:03 ]
                    Baku - APA. “If we calculate, then we will see that such exercises have been held more than ten times from the beginning of the year till now.

                    It does not aim to increasing of combat readiness. Their exercises remind childish sports. And there cannot be another assessment”, Chief of press service of Azerbaijan’s Defense Ministry Eldar Sabiroglu said in his respond to APA’s question on Armenian president Serzh Sargsyan’s participation in exercises in Nagorno Karabakh.

                    Sabiroglu noted that holding of such exercises is so difficult that it must be planned beforehand and attentively: “And it needs much time. It needs several important factors, especially great sum of money. As you know, today, Armenia and its military forces gathered in the territories of Azerbaijan do not have such opportunities. Just imagine the state of military power of a country with ruined economy. They cannot deceive anyone with such trickery. It is impossible to increase combat readiness in this manner”.

                    Sabiroglu wanted to draw attention to another substantial moment: “When Azerbaijan announces something true on ruined and unorganized situation of Armenia, or something about decisive attitude in the direction of solution to the conflict, it begins to demonstrate 5-6 tanks and 1-2 combat vehicles in Nagorno Karabakh and calls it large-scale military exercise. These are delusive methods. Such tricks do not create public opinion. Unfortunately, Armenians do not get tired of such deceptive acts. May be it is some kind of illness or hopelessness. But they must be absolutely sure that it is impossible to change something or impact on something with such cheap shows”.
                    they are just acting childish again. without even knowing what took place during the drills they are claiming it wasnt anything big. i think they are trying to convince themselves this, its for internal purposes only.
