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.

    Europe may Impose Sanctions against Armenia

    Europe may Impose Sanctions against Armenia
    A collective security deal on a united regional air defense system in the Caucasus, which should be discussed in the National Assembly these days, in fact, is much more dangerous, than simple concerns, that upon that agreement the right to make decisions in Armenia’s air defense system will be provided to Russia.

    Firstly, it’s not being touched upon that by adoption of the agreement Armenia will no more be able to use its air defense forces in case Nagorno-Karabakh is under threat. Upon that agreement jurisdiction of Armenia’s air defense forces will be spread only on air space of the Republic of Armenia, and Russia, which is busy with united coordination of air defense forces, naturally won’t allow to use them to defend Karabakh in case of Azerbaijan’s possible aggression, i.e. this agreement will directly damage security of Nagorno-Karabakh, guarantor of which is the Republic of Armenia.

    However, the agreement has wider threats out of the frame of the security of Armenian states. Based on information at the disposal of 168.am, adoption of this agreement raised a strict discontent among authorities of Iran, and visit of Edward Nalbandian, RA Minister of Foreign Affairs, to Iran was conditioned by these very discontents.

    Official statements on his visit, naturally, don’t reflect Iran’s discontent regarding air defense united system. However, the Iranian side exhorted Armenia to abstain from signing that agreement, as after it air space of Iran near Armenia will become a bordering space of not of Armenia, but of united air defense system with all its implications.

    The system initiated by Russia within the West is observed as a step directed against NATO, and up to now not officially, however, by other tubes it’s being transferred that its purpose is control of NATO systems. Thus, Armenia, which cooperates with NATO by a range of formats (moreover, up to now that cooperation is highly assessed by NATO member countries) is being engaged with anti-NATO adventure, which can’t but bother Iran, which attempts to settle relations with the West. It has been stated within the visit of Edward Nalbandian that Hassan Rouhani, president of Iran, will visit Armenia in near future, however exact date wasn’t mentioned. It’s not excluded that the visit may be conditioned by regional issues, as well as by united air defense system.

    Armenia may face issues with this agreement not only with Iran, but with Europe as well.

    According to the same sources of 168.am Armenia was informed from European diplomatic circles that in case of approval of the accord the EU may review Armenia’s relations with Armenia up to imposing sanctions against Armenia. This means, as compared to our officials, authorities’ and opposition political figures, who either don’t understand, or attempt to mislead the society by understanding, that there is no any threat in it, and it only “strengthens our security” and etc., it’s badly perceived in the world.

    Obviously world and regional dividing lines will be more strictly observed after establishment of that system, and Armenia, which at least attempts to maneuver from Russia-West, Russia-NATO confrontation, will directly appear on the other side of the line, where Russia is. With all its implications. And sanctions. And from this perspective messages to Armenia both from Iran and Europe should be accepted not as threats, but as friendly warnings, not to finally attach Armenia to the sinking ship.

    In the forthcoming days it’ll become clear whether Armenia’s authorities will be able to avoid from becoming a dividing line or will finally choose the worst from “either..or”-s.

    A collective security deal on a united regional air defense system in the Caucasus, which should be discussed in the National Assembly these days, in fact, is much more dangerous, than simple concerns, that upon that agreement the right to make decisions in Armenia’s air defense system will be provided to Russia.

      No one remembered they had a meeting, let alone it was cancelled.

Iraq was a USA ally you know (Sadaam was handpicked to lead by CIA). How did USA treat Iraq? Dump Russia for NATO...how will we buy weapons? When has NATO ever stood up to Turkey? And then there is the France suggestion ...this proves beyond the shadow of any doubt that some of us simply are incapable of learning from history. Remember the French who swore to protect us and then watched us get slaughtered from the safety of their ships? They then used the bones of our dead to make exotic soaps. No I guess you don't remember but what many do see is all the pro western media outlets and the garbage they spew. Most people do not bother to think they just regurgitate whatever garbage is available. India and China do sound like good allies and should be welcomed in Armenia.
            Look if we dig deep into our history , every nation has betrayed us. If we get butt hurt at that , then we shouldn't even have allies. What I'm trying to say is Russia is no better an ally then the US. I really believed in the painted so called Armenia-Russian brotherly alliance. All I see now is intrests and that's all. I don't blame Russia for protecting itself, but blame them for not giving us any space. A friend should allow you to succeed and if not, they couldn't be your friend.

              Russian MFA removes part of its statement concerning summit on Karabakh

              The Russian MFA ha removed from its website part of the statement concerning the summit on Karabakh.

              The original text of the statement regarding the meeting of the Russian Deputy FM Grigory Karasin and French Ambassador to Russia J.-M. Ripert read: “The meeting addressed issues related to the international efforts towards solving the crisis in Ukraine, as well as the preparation to the tripartite summit on the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement in Saint Petersburg.”

              The changed version of the statement lacks the part on the aforementioned summit: “The meeting addressed issues related to the international efforts towards solving the crisis in Ukraine, as well as problems concerning the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict settlement.”

              The changed version of the statement lacks the part on the aforementioned summit...

                  There are no friends in this game. It is and should be about interests. Armenia is in a bad situation for many reasons. There is a huge antirussian campaign being waged by the west and they could not care less if Armenia gets xxxxxled in the process. Media outlets are funded by various sources including pro and antirussian. The antirussian propaganda is taking hold among many Armenians because of this. We should never look at Russia as a big brother we can depend on but there is also no need to look at it as some enemy either. Both pro and antirussian media are hard at work trying to influence us with the west having some success. Distortion of reality is a huge mistake for it makes us make bad decisions. It is important to see reality for what it is instead of what others want you to see. Our region is going through some major changes and by focusing on what is real we may take advantage of these changes yet.
