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.

    That is probably correct, which is why any NK passport stamps should be put on a removable sheet of paper (like what a visitor to Israel should do if they also plan to visit Syria), but it is not the same thing as being persona non grata. You have to be a named individual to be that.

      Karabakh war vet: Azerbaijan paid dearly for killing Artsakh soldiers

      Karabakh war veteran: Azerbaijan paid dearly for killing Artsakh soldiers


      May 4, 2011 - 13:53 AMT
      PanARMENIAN.Net -

      Participants of battles during defense of Getashen and Martunashen
      villages, which are currently occupied by Azerbaijan, strongly believe
      that the NKR armed forces gave an adequate response to the Azerbaijani
      side for the killing of three Artsakh servicemen.

      Karabakh war veteran Shmavon Ghulghazaryan expressed belief at a press
      conference in Yerevan that Azerbaijan paid dearly for the killing of
      Artsakh soldiers.

      `Azerbaijanis should know that Armenia's response will be adequate in
      case of any infringement upon borders,' said Ghulghazaryan.

      On April 29, two Artsakh servicemen were killed in Azerbaijani firing.
      Another soldier of the NKR Defense army was wounded. Serviceman Vazgen
      Bakhshyan, 19, was wounded in the head as a result of Azerbaijani
      firing at NKR positions in the south-eastern part of the line of
      contact between the NKR and Azerbaijani armed forces on April 28.
      Bakhshyan died on the way to a military hospital.

      According to unofficial sources, four Azerbaijani servicemen were
      killed as a result of retaliatory measures of the Armenian side.

        It is right to point out the complacency on the Armenian side

        Karabakh (Artsakh) has remained Armenian only because the people there stood their ground during years of bombardment. Not because those living in comfort have shouted slogans at a safe distance

          that's true, and that goes without saying. however, just because not all of diaspora armenians fought there, does not diminish them, which is what he was trying to do and for that reason his criticism is not constructive.

          it isn't diaspora armenian's fault they don't live in armenia. that you must never forget. the diaspora exists because of the genocide, in the first instance.

          just because they live outside the borders of armenia, doesn't mean they're less armenian. just because they're living in comfort from a safe distance, doesn't make them care less, and in doing so they're not criminals or any less patriotic than the villager on the fronline.

          Diasporan armenians did their part, gave many volunteers, and the most famous commander was a disaporan armenian-monte melkonyan. Diasporan armenians played a role in arms transfers to armenia.

          And let's not forget the role of diasporans in helping Armenia's economy. just one name is enough: kirk kirkorian.

          In one simple word: The diaspora is armenia's national treasure, and natural resource. It is the Turks and turkish gov't who have been trying to drive a wedge between the republic and its diaspora. And I'll tell you one reason why they're NOT pursuing that policy: THEY'RE NOT PURSUINING FOR THE BENEFIT OF ARMENIA

            i was looking at my passport and apparently the Artsakh (Karabakh) visa is separate, meaning it was not stamped in my passport, it was on a small piece of paper but that was from 2004 so i dont know if theyve changed it.

              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

                It is still the same system. But so were Soviet-era visas - they too were on slips of paper that were stapled into your passport - so it might not be made like that to avoid Azerbaijan's restrictions.

                  With that attitude you don't deserve to step on that land.

                  The place hasn't a chance in hell of surviving if those that fill this thread are in any way representative of those tasked with defending it.
                  You only see in negative,tunnel vision, I thought cats had a better vision (you must be a Van cat)....you still don't know Armenians.

                  Especially since you are now claiming that Azerbaijan (rather than Turkey) has a, to quote your own words, "good military industrial complex to resupply troops with all necessary weaponry".
                  I have never said that Bells, show me where or shut up....stop derailing this thread, time for your catnap.

                      Eddo,

                      why bother with Mig 29? 3 S-300 systems in Armenian hands, plus one in Russian base that is a lot of deffence. The only use for that is if we are going up against toorkish F16. We have more than enough air defence to handle all of azerbaboon plus some from toorkey. I would rather us get some smerch systems, and build more anti sniper laser systems. More mines, and cluster munitions, once we start something I want to be able to hit them with a lot of long range rockets.
