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.

        As their GDP plummets and oil fails to make any meaningful recovery, they will not only fail to buy new weaponry, but they will sag under the load of maintaining all their shiny new toys. Their cutting edge equipment requires specialists to maintain and repair, and there are sole source part suppliers that can charge a premium as they lack economies of scale. The more these idiots fire their rockets at hillsides, the faster they get to depletion. Equipment without ammo, operators, or backup supplies is as good as useless.

                    These kind of posts are ridiculous because you are talking about it vis-a-vis Armenia, who doesn't even have a economy to speak of and survives off Russia. And it's just that, a temporary "survival".

                    There is the Shahdeniz 2 and other new natural gas export projects which hasn't even started yet. And yes, the "fond" has tens of billions in reserves. As for oil prices and their "meaningfulness", they are currently about 50 USD a barrel. Azerbaijan's state budget are based on the price of 40 USD a barrel, which actually means surplus.

                    As for what you have posted, assuming it's true, did you bother to check other oil producing countries? Russia from 2 trillion to 1 trillion for instance, and Algeria, Kazakhstan, Kuwait, Qatar. I guess the same logic should be used for these countries?
                    Azerbaijan's economy and military is propped up by oil money. Azerbaijan would be in a worse off economic situation than Armenia and Georgia had it not had the massive windfall from oil. Fortunately for Armenia that Aliyev has squandered most of that money. How much Sofaz has in its fund is debatable, a lot of the information that comes from Azeri sources is difficult to monitor and most of us observing go by assuming the predictions of 4-5 years ago are following their trajectory. And that trajectory was an optimistic one.

                    Even when Shah Deniz 2 comes online, I doubt that they will ever recover the $45bln they sunk into it. The Turks in Central Asia don't want to play ball with Azerbaijan.

                    I will concede that Armenia's economy is strongly linked to Russia and that it is not competitive at all. But that has a lot to do with being pressured into Moscow's orbit because the Azeris have been arming themselves with oil money. If Armenia didn't have to deal with Azerbaijan, it wouldn't have to be forced into selling off all of its assets to Moscow. We would have had a DCFTA with the Euros and have had already attracted massive US investment.

                    And that's ultimately where I feel Armenia will outlast and begin overtaking Azerbaijan. Armenia is forced to build an actual economy in the worse of economic situations. Azerbaijan hasn't even begun doing that, and all the work that they think they've done is coming apart now that the oil money is coming apart.

                    In 10 years, once Azerbaijan is engulfed in Civil War, Armenia will be churning out market driven companies.

                      There is a thread "azerbaijan oil" on this forum where you can check how Russia and turkey put a permanent plug on the azeri gas export from the pipeline that is still under construction. Most likely you will never see any profits in this lifetime. Oil prices have been floating around $50 for two years now. Your government have been dumping around $4 to 8 billion a year trying to bailout the "economy". No one knows the true assets values in Sofaz. Something we will never know coming from a dictatorial regime that is draining the country's assets (Panama Papers). Chances are there is no liquid assets in the fund. We have seen how your central bank went bankrupt and defaulted on the bond holders. Your country has a year or two with oil prices at around $50 before all hell breaks loose. Thanks for posting! We would like the opposite views.
