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.

      Holy Shet!!!! Azeris are fked royally!

      "DW: Gas, condensate best for Azerbaijan

      Short-term production from the BP-led Azerbaijan’s Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) project in the Caspian Sea is expected to be flat, and contain gas rather than oil, according to a new analysis from Douglas-Westwood (DW).

      ACG project gross liquids production. Source - Douglas-Westwood.
      Last month, BP-operated AIOC and Socar signed a letter of intent on the future development of ACG, paving the way for the continued development of the project to 2050, pending a finalized agreement in the coming months.
      The giant offshore development, known as the “contract of the century,” began production in 1997 and peaked at 823,000 b/d in 2010. However, production has since fallen to 644,000 b/d in the first nine months of 2016 – well short of the 1 MMb/d third phase production target – due to a faster than anticipated decline at the East & West Azeri fields, despite West Chirag starting up in 2014.
      DW’s Matt Adams says that over the short-term, production from ACG is expected to be flat, according to recent communications from BP.
      “However, DW expects natural decline to persist post-2017 – despite additional production capacity from new fixed platform installations being likely around the end of the decade. Over the long-term, the success and scope of the December agreement will be essential to maintaining the viability of the project, as well as Azerbaijan’s oil industry as a whole – which has seen limited oil discoveries in recent years,” Adams says. “As it stands, gas and condensate offer the best prospects for growth in the Azeri oil & gas sector.”
      BP’s Shah Deniz Phase II is expected online in 2018 and will ramp up over the course of the following three years to 120,000 b/d of condensate and 289,000 boe/d of gas as the Trans Adriatic Pipeline (TAP) comes online in 2021. Further gas and condensate additions will also be seen from Total’s Absheron project, which saw a development agreement signed in November 2016.
      “Therefore, in order for the continued prosperity of the Azeri oil sector, significant oil discoveries will need to be made. However, Socar’s geologists have said that unexplored reserves in the Caspian Sea are more likely to contain gas rather than oil,” Adams says. “Consequently, while an extension of the ‘contract of the century’ is a positive move for the country, the future of the Azeri hydrocarbons sector is likely to hinge on gas, not oil.”

      Short-term production from the BP-led Azerbaijan’s Azeri-Chirag-Gunashli (ACG) project in the Caspian Sea is expected to be flat…

It's a shame the Armenian gov't has not done more to secure and develop the region, it's fertile, beautiful and very historic.
          The answer seems straightforward.
          Deprive them of those positions and we will have peace and quiet else ......... more of the same.

          The decision is ours, loose 100 soldiers in the next 3-4 years without any change in the situation or
          take advantage of a surprise attack, achieve goals with much less casualties.
          Peace and quiet thrown in part of the deal.

          The issue then will be listening the bullsh.it of the sultan about Armenian agression and percentage of territories lost etc.
          We should be able to handle that.

          .
          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

              So you really think that if we attack them and take those positions they will not attack back ?
              If Armenia does this it is a clear sign of war and internationally Armenia would be at fault for starting it.

                That's a loser mentality. If we are not ready to fight then we have already lost. Also, Azerfakistan can wage war anytime and not be held accountable, as the april war showed, and we did basically, squat about it.

                    I'm not saying that we should not answer back. We have to for the reasons you said but going offensive and taking lands is one step further.
                    We don't need a war. Karabakh is ours. There is a risk that we could lose it in a war so why should we start a new one ?
                    Again , I agree that we should punish them. But there are other ways to punish them than to take land ( =war)

                    And we could lose support of Russia if we attack first , since Russia doesn't want a war to start.
