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.

    These guys are commentators.
    The person who undermined our position is SERGIK by his (ADMITTED) statement that he agreed to hand over those teritories.

    It will be very difficult to retreat from that position during future negotiations.

    What is scandalous is that Sergik did not consult with anybody.

      Not only is South Ossetia an unrecognized state but South Ossetia has a population of 50,000, 4000 square km and a nonexistent economy kept afloat by Russia. How many able-bodied men can you find in a population of 50,000 if you remove elderly, children, women, sick, disabled etc. South Ossetia as a whole needs to be dissolved and officially absorbed by the Russian Federation and reunited with North Ossetia Republic. South Ossetia merging with Russia would be more akin to Artsakh merging with Armenia. Much better prospects for independence for Abkhazia who you may have noticed has not (so far) merged its army with Russia. It has a sea, a larger population and somewhat functional economy as well as differences in culture.
      A lot will depend on our leadership as to our status as an independant state.
      More like the one leader who seems to be only answerable to God but not to its people.

        He will NOT cede anything. What keeps him in power you think?
        If peace is found , Serjs time is counted. People won't be scared to revolt if the Azeri/Turkish risk is gone.

        He simply can not cede anything. Noone wants that , not Putin , Aliev or Serj.

        Karabakh defense army: Soldier died of gunshot wound
        STEPANAKERT. –Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR/Artsakh) Defense Army serviceman Arayik Sargsyan (born in 1995) sustained a fatal gunshot wound, on Monday at around 12:35pm.

        Sargsyan, a resident of NKR Hadrut Region, was mortally wounded at a protection area of an Artsakh defense army unit which is located in a southeasterly direction, but under yet unclear circumstances.

        An investigation is underway to find out the details of this incident, the NKR Defense Army informed Armenian News-NEWS.am.

          Will we allow it to happen?
          Next you know, our boys dying In some faraway Russian fronts an masse.
          In WWII around 360000 Armenian soldiers were killed in soviet western fronts according to data.
          Can you imagine what result would we have if we laid down so many lives fighting our enemy Turks at that time?
          At that time Turks were very weak.
          We need independent army to be an independent nation. No matter what.

            I am finding difficult to communicate today !!!

            The facts are he ADMITTED he agreed to sede.
            You or I had no say in it nor anybody else.
            It was a surprise, found out years later.

            No different to dropping EU agreement and joining EuAsin mob.
            Done overnight. Without consultation.
            By his own admittance "he did not have time to look at the agreement" himself.

            Please listen to the link I posted above.

              It gave us experience, in the soviet army armenians could climb the ranks while azeris dug trenches, that experience was valuable in the nk war.

                  yeah, thousands of heros died and then kocharyan sighned the return of ancient armenian territories. What was the war all about then one would wonder. It seems we are still in the habit of giving lands ( even when we win), as if we have so much to give.

                    Following the Kazan agreement (pre signing of the agreement ) the Sultan upped the stakes the last moment by putting 8 to 10 new demands on the table.
                    The negotiations collapsed.

                    Some of the demands were to "hand back" Karabagh, withdrawal of Armenian occupation troop, return of refugees including their offspring etc etc.

                    Thus the day was saved for us courtesy of the Sultan Aliev.

                      Experiance gained by the dead has no value.

                      You wouldn't normally call them experianced soldiers ( or veterans ) but rather cannon fodder.
