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.

    Time is very important.

    Demographics is nothing compared to defence when your enemy grows stronger with time while you become more dependent on foreign powers.....plus, even if Armenia wanted to pre-empt it would need at least the cooperation of its closest ally because there will also be a political front as well.

      If that was true Israel would have been run over long time ago.

      If (?) there will be the "demise of Israel" it will not be because of its demography because
      the "demographics have been in place" for a very long time.

      What matters is how seriously do you address the problem AND take the correct actions to negate its effect.

      Incidentally I want a healthy demographics in our Hayrenik.
      Least of all because with a well managed economy it is the indicator of the “health of the nation”
      as seen from the outside, and giving confidence and morale boost to the people within.
      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

        IDF holds the upper hand by a good margine.......the military balance between NKR and Azerbaijan must favor Armenia and safety of its people.

        Time is a factor.....a defensive attack can save lives in future. (bomb their airfields/runways for example if you had the capability).

        I am not saying to do that but an option that should be considered to the people who know the real facts behind the frontlines.

          Did it happen by chance?
          Did it happen because Israel has demographic advantage?

              No, it did not happen by chance. The idf has been funded by American taxpayers for over 30 years now. They have 100s of nukes, and they have a very wealthy diaspora that goes to bat for them, and is much more united than our own. Other than the small size of israel, and Armenia, there is not much else that is the same. Also, add in the factor that the American taxpayer has also helped israel by bribing Arab governments in the region, such as Egypt and Jordan, to keep the peace. Do you see the US giving any money to the Armenian military, or bribing aliyev to keep the peace?
              For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
              to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

                Well, if it was not for the big armenian diaspora in USA, USA would be much more favourable to Azerbaijan, and probably wouldn't even think twice about us. But with diaspora help, they have forced US to limit military assistance to Azerbaijan, and encouraged economic assistance to both Armenia and Karabakh, and the karabakh part has always angered Azerbaijan.

                If I was the USA, I would support Azerbaijan all the way. For one reason, oil.

                  Well contrary to popular belief, the US is interested in more than just oil. If we are talking about specifically Armenia, yes, they may not have much intrinsic interest in Armenia due to it being small, landlocked, and without significant natural resources which American firms could exploit. However, the greater Caucasus region is of geopolitcal (not only due to oil/gas) concern to official Washington and they would love to see the place free of its, in their eyes, petty peoples and ethnic/religious disputes. However, that is a fantasy and not in accordance with reality, so they make nice with all the peoples of the regions and its 3 nation-states, of course those who tow the American line get treated better, as is only natural. They are not going to tell Armenia or the other countries of the Caucasus to piss off just because an American tool, like sakasvilli, is not in charge.

                  to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.
