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.

    No, you are exaggerating or understood it wrong.
    Since Armenia is a member of the Eurasian Union and Iran is not, it's against the law of EEU to bring in cars from Iran, since you can drive it all the way to Russia and sell it there, since there are no economic borders (supposedly).
    My relative brought his car from Dubai without paying customs fees and registered it in Armenia under the "Hayrenatarts" law.
    I brought 1 ton of furniture and household items which are my own belonging from Beirut to Armenia without paying customs also under the same law.
    It has nothing to do with oligarchs at all.
    You can order any car you want from the USA online and get it shipped to port of Poti in Georgia, and then get it to Armenia.
    Or you can go to Russia and drive any car you want and get it to Armenia without customs or VAT.
    It's more about the lousy Eurasian Union pushing Armenians away from the Iranian market where they produce cars, than oligarchs.

      There can still be solutions even if EEU partnership is not going to be in the cards for Iran. Georgia is a good example of a non EEU country we do trade with/through. The Iran market is way bigger than Israeli market so it would be foolish to turn down Iran in favor of Israel. Other considerations may be involved of course but economically it makes so sense to exclude Iran.

        EEU was a mistake. Anybody at this time saying otherwise obviously has a special interest.

          My point is EEU does not want to open the tap for Armenian-Iranian trade. They do not see Israel as a threat since it's far with pricey goods to that of Russian/Belarusian. But Iran has everything that Russia and Belarus might have (other than vodka) and it's a pure win for Armenia to do trade with Iran since there's not transit through any other country.

            EEU was the biggest mistake during the post-independence period.
            I am not a Russia hater, I love their weapons and women. But I love my country above everything, and right here in Armenia, you can see that joining the EEU was a big mistake from all angels.

              Agree. EEU is a waste.

                It is too early to render judgement on an organization still in the forming stages which is being sabotaged by powerful outside forces. Iran would make a excellent addition to EEU as it can replace Turkey in pretty much every way. Iran's products are very different from Russian products so I am not sure why you say they are not. Things like climate, technology and culture dictate these differences. Many people are used to the western perspective and are blinding themselves to the eastern shift of power. The world is changing and it seems our leaders are much more aware of this change vs most of our people.

                    The world is changing and we are on the dividing lines. Long are gone Western goods and dominance. We are entering the Asian century where Western financial games are desperately trying the control it.
                    Small unions will be ineffective without any major manufacturing base. Russia should start shifting its population (if any left) Eastwards, building new infrastructures away from European controlling, decaying arrogance. Putin once said “Britain is a small island” he is right! Their control is coming to an end, Russia has to act on it.

                      Once again, our confused friend not only still backs everything and anything Russian but also makes sure to throw more shade on the west. I'm not even sure how the west is relevant in this conversation??

                      As I said.

                      Armenia should have taken its time and sorted out its economic issues before making a commitment like this. Nearly none of the promises made in exchange with us joining have been delivered.
