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.

          Thanks Eddo,

          Archers where very effective, right up until the development of plate armour and often helped to supported armies by hunting for game.

            "The fact that the Armenian Armed Forces violate the ceasefire at a time of the ongoing talks on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict resolution will bring no good consequences," Ministry spokesman Eldar Sabiroglu told journalists.


            Azerbaijani Defense ministry accuses Armenia of violating ceasefire (UPDATE)

            Details added

            Azerbaijan, Baku, Dec. 20 / Trend K.Zarbaliyeva /

            The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry has warned that violation of the ceasefire by the Armenian Armed Forces will lead to heavy consequences.

            "The fact that the Armenian Armed Forces violate the ceasefire at a time of the ongoing talks on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict resolution will bring no good consequences," Ministry spokesman Eldar Sabiroglu told journalists.

            Despite the recent agreement on maintaining the ceasefire, the Armenian Armed Forces have continued the sabotage, Sabiroglu said, adding that "the enemy launched artillery shell at 21:30 on Dec.17 and it created tensions on the front line."

            The investigations revealed that a 122-millimeter rocket high-explosive shell fell near the Borsunlu settlement controlled by the Azerbaijani Armed Forces. It is assumed that the shell was fired from a distance of 15-16 kilometers. Since the shell was fired at night, the trajectory of the projectile was tracked. Although the sound of the explosion and shock waves were felt in nearby villages, no casualties was fixed," Sabiroglu said.

            The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian Armed Forces have occupied 20 percent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and 7 surrounding districts.

            Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a ceasefire agreement in 1994. The co-chairs of the OSCE Minsk Group - Russia, France, and the U.S. - are currently holding the peace negotiations.

            Armenia has not yet implemented the U.N. Security Council's four resolutions on the liberation of the Nagorno-Karabakh and the surrounding regions.

              Funny, talking about how many times Azeris fire on Armenian positions, or have even attacked Armenian positions like after the March 1 events, where they attacked got their asses kicked and left all their supplies and dead, and fled.....Fact of the matter is Azeris are no fighters and stand very little chance against Karabakh fighters who will give anything for their lands...

                  ​Armenia Confirms Possession Of Sophisticated Missiles
                  Monday, 20 December 2010 09:56 |

                  RFE/RL -- Armenia officially acknowledged on Monday that its armed forces are equipped with Russian-made surface-to-air missiles widely regarded as one of the world’s most potent anti-aircraft weapons.
                  The Defense Ministry in Yerevan said Defense Minister Seyran Ohanian visited one of the Armenian army’s anti-aircraft units and “familiarized himself with the work of the state-of-the-art S-300 air-defense systems” over the weekend. A ministry statement said he also inspected new facilities built there.

                  Originally designed in the Soviet Union in the late 1970s and repeatedly upgraded since then, the systems have a firing range of up to 200 kilometers. Their radars can simultaneously track up to 100 targets, including both aircraft and cruise missiles.



                  Russia deployed at least one battery of S-300s in Armenia in the late 1990s, significantly beefing up its military base stationed there. Russian and Armenian forces have since been jointly protecting Armenia’s airspace. Their integrated air-defense system was given a “regional” status by the Russian-led Collective Security Treaty Organization (CSTO) in early 2007.

                  Top Russian military officials said at the time that Moscow has further upgraded Armenia’s anti-aircraft capacity and trained Armenian specialists to operate S-300s. The Armenian military confirmed that, saying the training process began in 2005. It would not clarify until now whether the Russians have actually transferred such weapons to their Armenian ally.

                  Speaking to RFE/RL’s Armenian service, Defense Ministry spokesman Davit Karapetian confirmed that the Armenian army now has S-300s in its missile arsenal. He declined to specify their number and dates of delivery.

                  According to the Defense Ministry statement, Ohanian inspected the Armenian S-300s after inaugurating a new Russian-Armenian “air-defense command point” possessing “state-of-the-art equipment.” The statement quoted him as saying that the development raised Russian-Armenian military cooperation to a “qualitatively new plane.”

                  The announcement follows media reports that Moscow is planning to sell two batteries of S-300 to Azerbaijan, in a deal worth $300 million. The reports, not denied by Russian officials, have raised concern in Armenia and Karabakh.

                  Opposition groups there say the long-range missiles would seriously limit the Armenian military’s ability to hit strategic targets in Azerbaijan and would thereby encourage Baku to try to resolve the Karabakh dispute by force.

                  Ohanian dismissed such concerns in an August interview with RFE/RL’s Armenian service. “We are very familiar with those systems, we have been exploiting them for quite a long time, and we know the possibilities of reducing the effectiveness of such systems,” he said.

                  “Even in case of acquiring those systems, Azerbaijan will need quite a lot of time to develop an integrated radio-technical system catering for them,” added the minister.


                  and about the ceasefire violation


                  Karabakh Armenians Deny Rocket Fire
                  Monday, 20 December 2010 09:52 |

                  RFE/RL -- Nagorno-Karabakh’s armed forces on Monday strongly denied firing a rocket at Azerbaijani army positions in a ceasefire violation alleged by Baku.
                  The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry claimed that the 122-milimeter caliber shell exploded near an Azerbaijani village northeast of Karabakh on Friday. “This blatant ceasefire violation by the Armenian armed forces will not lead to good consequences,” ministry spokesman Eldar Sabiroglu told the Trend news agency.

                  A spokesman for the Karabakh Armenian army, Senor Hasratian, dismissed the claim as “yet another Azerbaijani provocation.”

                  In a written statement, Hasratian said the Azerbaijani military is trying to dodge responsibility for what he said was a fire at one of its ammunitions depots located close to the Armenian-Azerbaijani “line of contact.” He said a reconnaissance unit of the Karabakh army witnessed explosions caused by the fire.

                  While ceasefire violations along this and other sections of the fortified frontline are common, they usually involve small arms. The warring sides are not known to have used heavy artillery in skirmishes since a 1994 Russian-mediated truce agreement.
