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.

      That same "International Law" that was so compassionate to all these groups in dissecting the country, should apply the SAME rules to azerbaijan. All groups in azerbaijan have equal rights as the "International Law" accepted the Yugoslavian break up and displacement of people in their appropriate regions.

        The general breakup of Yugoslavia is not a comparable situation. The borders of each Yugoslav country did not change. The wars in croatia and bosnia were internal conflicts. Serbia and Montenegro broke up legally, without conflict or war. Kosovo is the only comparable situation.



        Serbia did not seize land from Croatia or Bosnia or annex any of those regions. Croatia did no such thing in Bosnia, however Tuđman did try. (Or at least thought he would be able to)

        You cannot compare Azerbaijan to Yugoslavia either, they are entirely different scenarios. If you are suggesting that balkanization and establishment of independent states on the territory of Azerbaijan is the future, then I would agree with you. However, to compare this situation to the situation during the Yugoslav wars is just wrong.

        Oh and the UN/ECHR did not just "accept" the war crimes and aggression committed by groups in states in former Yugoslavia. You are aware of the court cases and genocide claims that took place?

        Honestly this conversation is digressing into an area that is not relevant to the thread.

            It cannot be more comparable when you compare the country of Yugoslavia vs azerbaijan.

            So is Artsakh vs azeristan. The same way the turks promoted and helped their bosnian brothers they are doing the same with the azeris and Armenia with Artsakh.

            Right no war for Serbia. "Legally" we would like the same legality to be applied to the azeris that they applied to the Serbs.

            In this equation Serbia is azerbaijan. Armenia did not annex Artsakh either. You perspective is twisted.

            I don't see a single difference and nothing wrong. I want the "International Law" to apply the same exact equation to azerbaijan as it did to Yugoslavia.

              Neither did the borders of each azerbaijan country.

              Each Azerbaijan country? What? Azerbaijan is a unitary state with ethnic minorities in the extreme North and South and a separatist Armenian region.

              So is Artsakh vs azeristan. The same way the turks promoted and helped their bosnian brothers they are doing the same with the azeris and Armenia with Artsakh.

              Our army was a direct participant to the fighting. The same cannot be said for Serbia and Serbian Krajina for example.

              Right no war for Serbia. "Legally" we would like the same legality to be applied to the azeris that they applied to the Serbs.
              I am assuming you are talking about the Kosovo situation, if so then yes the same principal should be applied. Self-determination.


              In this equation Serbia is azerbaijan. Armenia did not annex Artsakh either. You perspective is twisted.
              Actually, it is your perspective that is twisted. If you knew anything about the Yugoslav wars, you would know that Serbia is comparable to both states. (Kosovo situation - Serbia is Azerbaijan | Serbian Krajina and Srpska situation - Serbia is Armenia)




              I don't see a single difference and nothing wrong. I want the "International Law" to apply the same exact equation to azerbaijan as it did to Yugoslavia.

              Yugoslavia was a federation of South Slavic speaking countries and an Albanian autonomous region and intricate religious differences, Azerbaijan is a unitary state with ethnic minority populations

              As an indirect reference to the fake khojali BS? Yes what did the UN do for 1.5 million Armenian's slaughter?
              Um, no. What are you even talking about anymore? I'm talking about the prosecution of war criminals after the Yugoslav wars, as that refutes the claim that the UN just "accepted" the war crimes and ethnic cleansing committed by parties. Khojaly? How was that BS even referenced? The UN did not exist during our genocide. Neither did the League of Nations. What are you even on about?

              No we are not, were talking about Yugoslavia now. Thanks for changing the subject.

              The United Nations Basic Principles and Guidelines on the Right to Reparation for Victims of Gross Violations of Human Rights and International Humanitarian Law provide in part:

              Reparation may be claimed individually and where appropriate collectively, by the direct victims of violations of human rights and international humanitarian law, the immediate family, dependants or other persons or groups of persons closely connected with the direct victims
              Yea, you should seriously do more reading. You sound like a Turk denialist, as that is a false argument they usually use.

              International law has never denied the genocide. What are you talking about?

                In short, if the turks want their stolen land back, they will have to come and get it. If the majority of Armenians want to give part of their homeland back I will be opposing it but will accept their decision. It will be our biggest mistake in our history.

                  We even have seen UN's silence and indifference if not involvement (with the Belgians) in the Rwandan Genocide.

                    Turcs weather east or west utilize "international law" to ligitemize their claim to what doesn't belong to them. Most certainly to our east or west is recognized as turc land but that ain't so.
                    I sound like a "turc denialist". According to you. Far fetched but it suits your analysis. Otherwise that's comical and I dought except for you anyone else could possibly think such none sense.
                    --- I should do more reading --- lol.
                    Maybe in 40 more years you'll have read anywhere close to what I've read. But your 23 whole years old so according to you , you know quite a bit.
                    International law never denied the genocide of the Armenians. You mean like the last judgment of the euro court on perinck ???
                    Such nonsense.

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

                      Why are you comparing Artsakh to yougoslavia?
                      Every more or less reputable Armenian military analyst sais that the territories under Artsakh controll are the security and buffer. As long as Azerbaijan does not recognize artsakht's independence that means there can not be peace, the war has not ended, period.
                      Who is fooling whom? How can there be a peace with just giving up land but not solving the root cause of the conflict? Anything short is a clownade.
                      This conflict was never about territories. It was about Artsakh people's desire of self determination. And this people did the referendum and declared their independence from Azerbaijan according to international law. There has never been referendum in Kosovo etc.
                      what followed was Azerbaijans aggression and defeat as a result of the war. A ceasefire was signed where frontline froze at current lines.
                      The war will end with recognition of Artsakh by Azerbaijan. Without it, there can never be a peace. Any other talk of land exchange etc is a mockery. If Azeris are ready to recognize Artsakh, then welcome to talk about borders. Without it any talk about it is a tactical wise ass maneuver by Azerbaijan and some international circles to diminish and limit artsakh's ability to defend itself. Just a game.
                      Anybody playing this tune is just playing Azeri tune.
                      Armenia was not and is not directly in war with Azerbaijan for any territories.
                      It's simple, the whole deal is about Azeri aggression. Who cares about what % of their land they want.
                      Last war in April shows that Azeris will start aggression without regard to international rules. It also showed how important each square meters of territory is for artsakh's security structure.
                      Also, the good thing is that some international circles have started to recognize artsak's right to exist with its own territory and security plus security zone, given Azerbaijans aggressive behavior.

                      Also there is no such a thing as mutual destruction. We are not talking about nuclear weapons here. What a nonsense.
                      There is a good chance of conventional war and wars have their rules.
                      This war is not avoidable by the fate of fiew districts, as Azeris have stated repeatedly. It's the issue of survival of Artsakh.
                      We are fighting for our survival, Azeris are fighting for regaining controll.
                      There has not been any situation in past 26 years proving or forcing Artsakh people to abandone their claim of self governance on those territories. So speculation about Baku bazar is just that, a bazar. None of any serious figures in Armenia does not take it seriously.
