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.

Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan

Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
Originally posted by Lori View PostUh, Armenia and Belarus are in the same military alliance. They are a strategic partner, by definition. Belarus is also in a Union State with Russia and have integrated military. So, being allied with Russia is being allied with them.
Same goes for Kazakhstan. They're CSTO members but not our strategic partner in any way.Last edited by armnuke; 02-09-2017, 01:55 AM.

Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
Originally posted by armnuke View PostBelarus is not our "strategic partner".
Being in CSTO or the so-called Eurasian Union does not make them a strategic partner.
They are a dictatorship which can be put on par with Syria of Assad and Iraq of Saddam.

Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
Originally posted by Lori View PostBelarus is not known for being a steadfast ally. They are constantly bickering with Russia over natural gas prices and trade, even though they are pretty much the same country at this point. In reality, what happens in the Caucasus has no effect on Belarus. Armenia's security isn't relevant to them outside of CSTO. Don't take it personally. Kazakhstan is a Turkic nation, they obviously have some inherent bias but are willing to be a cooperative partner in most cases. Support for Azerbaijan is pretty much restricted to diplomatic PR stunts and rhetoric. Its just smoke and mirrors.
I hope you realize Azerbaijan is not a member of CSTO, has no sway over the organization, and CSTO is led and controlled entirely by Russia.
A military alliance does not require states to be on the same page on all issues. Turkey has awful relations with other NATO member states. Many NATO member states, such as Hungary, Slovakia, Montenegro, are not anti-Russian. A military alliance is just that, a military alliance.

Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
Originally posted by ASALA2116 View PostSyria was excellent under Assad. Saddam was great for Iraq. It is those Capitalists who destroyed these nations. Also Belarus couldn't be more of a strategic Partner.
Greece and Turkey are both members in the same alliance, but they're neither strategic partners nor allies.
Same goes for Kazakhstan. They're CSTO members but not our strategic partner in any way.
Anyways, regardless of all of that nonsense. What is happening to Lapshin is a crime against humanity and needs to stop. This idea that you can be extradited to another state, solely because you made an online post and went to the wrong province is absurd and awful.
Whats even worse is the way he was "greeted" by those monkeys. No honour. No sense of danger, its all a photo shoot to these pathetic Azeri mall cops. Hes a journalist, not some high profile terrorist leader.

Originally posted by Lori View PostAssad's government has murdered tens of thousands of their own people. Saddam committed genocide against the Kurds with chemical weapons. What are you even talking about. These are horrible men.

I am actually a backer of authoritarian nationalism and I vehemently oppose liberal internationalism , but I do not back halfwit brutes. Genocide and politicide cannot be justified or warranted, no matter how you look at it. You, as an Armenian, should know that my friend.
If we were talking about Milosevic, I would be arguing the opposite. However, we are talking about men shown to be true war criminals and psychopaths. Arabs and their leaders are incompetent when it comes to the most basic forms of governance.
