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.

The inclusion of the term "occupied territories" is not a neutral wording of a ceasefire agreement and we can't possibly be serious that refugees will return to their homes. I can't imagine any Armenian ever being able to live in Azerbaijan again openly as an Armenian.

    Yes and despite our superior position at the signing of this ceasefire, we managed to agree to the term "withdrawal of troops from occupied territories"? It is clearly aimed at the Artsakh defense forces and the territory formerly surrounding the ex-NKAO. Besides Shahumyan, there's really nowhere Armenians will "return" to, especially not Baku and they should not. Though it does not name which nationality, it is clear the refugee mention is again aimed at Azeri refugees .

    Treaties are worthless. Don't get hung up over this.
    For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
    to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

      They mean the security belt around NKR....seven locations. They will never get Lachin back, besides others.

        The so-called "security belt" is not around NKR. It is PART of NKR. There is no NKR without the areas called the "security belt", "liberated territories", "seven occupied Azeri-region", "buffer zone" and all the other fancy labels we and others have come up with to the detriment of the Constitution of Artsakh. Again, how can we sign to such a preposterous agreement while in a position of strength? Any one with half a brain can see that Nagorno-Karabakh without the "security belt", especially one that lacks Armenian forces, is doomed to be eventually surrounded and possibly crushed by Azerbaijan. That is why the military decided to liberate it in the first place (from a military perspective).

          We were forced to by Russia, USA, and France....can't think of any other reason why we would have even stopped with the momentum we had. Regardless NKR has been guaranteed Autonomy,
          this is a provisional protocol...no threaty has been signed.

            This is a Very important factor in this whole peace process. the refugees will never be able to return anywhere after this dirty war. And This also shows that hypotheticaly speaking if Artsakh is given to Azerbaijan the People will again rise up. but actually that would be based on The misconception that Armenia Took Artsakh, when it was just thier own uprising. Armenia isnt returning anything, Karabakh declared its independace so Azerbaijan needs to work it out with them, and reopen our Borders.

                  .

                  It appears that some members here are articulating ideas without realising the significance of their views.
                  This is irrespective whether they (we) have any power about it or not.

                  I am specifically referring to some “generous” and misguided offers of withdrawal from here and there etc.

                  I am not a lawyer but here is my take.

                  The Wilsonian decision vis-à-vis the Armenian borders is legally valid since its timeless.
                  This document also refers to territory within present Azerbaijan.

                  Therefore not only Turkey is occupying Armenian lands but also Azerbaijan despite some of it being liberated.

                  The significance is this.
                  If any land (liberated ) within the stated (Wilsonian) borders is returned it could make
                  the Wilsonian declaration invalid with the Armenian side creating the situation.

                  After all how can you be after that ( Wilsonian) land when you are offering part of it back?

                  As I mentioned I am not a lawyer but Ara papian is.
                  Listen to his legal points to get a much better understanding of the legal issues involved.


                  Part 1


                  Part 2
                  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
