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 military parade held in Armenia last week to mark the 20th anniversary of the republic’s independence still continues to attract attention from international media.
The nation’s fifth parade since the 1991 declaration of independence held on September 21 was attended by about 4,000 troops and featured 3,000 pieces of modern military hardware. Most importantly, though, the military demonstration for the first time featured Armenia’s offensive arsenal, including modern sophisticated weaponry.
The military parade in the heart of the Armenian capital elicited a broad response in the region and far beyond. Director of the Yerevan-based Sociometer sociological center Aharon Adibekyan cites surveys conducted by his staff, showing that within a few days after the parade as many as 830 English-language websites reported information. Meanwhile, he says, the military parade held in Azerbaijan’s capital of Baku in June was covered by less than 100 English-language websites.
“Unexpectedly, our military parade has created quite a stir in international media,” says Adibekyan, adding that many reports also focused on the comparison between the demonstrations of military might by Armenia and Azerbaijan, the two regional arch foes locked in a bitter dispute over Nagorno-Karabakh.
Military psychologist Samvel Khudoyan says that “neutral” countries such the United Kingdom, Germany, China, the United States and others were interested in the demonstration by the Armenian army.
“For example, the Britons admired the march of chaplains during the parade, and the Russian side mainly focused on the participation of a Russian military unit, expressing their satisfaction. They would also mention that British and other military would participate in Russia’s parade and that it is a normal practice,” says Khudoyan, referring to the controversy that the news of the Russian military’s participation in the Armenian military parade created among some hard-line opposition factions that even attempted a protest in Yerevan that day.
Khudoyan thinks that psychologically the September 21 parade was very important both for the people and for the nation’s foreign policy.
“A military parade is a visual form of subconscious influence that inspires confidence and gives people a sense of tranquility and security,” he says.
Military expert Artsrun Hovhannisyan, meanwhile, spurned the negative assessments made by the Azerbaijani side of the Armenian military parade, saying that they are improper both militarily and politically.
Hovhannisyan suggested that the two neighboring countries still maintain a military parity
“I think that until the end of the year international experts will make thorough analyses that are most likely to create a stir in the Azerbaijani society, because their arsenal, despite the assurances of leaders in Baku, is not up to date,” says the Armenian expert.

Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan
Արցախի օդանավակայանի բացումն ուշանում է թռիչքուղու սխալ նախագծման պատճառով
. 27/09
Արցախի օդանավակայանը մինչեւ տարեվերջ կգործարկվի ու կսկսվեն Երեւան-Ստեփանակերտ-Երեւան թռիչքները: ԼՂՀ քաղաքացիական ավիացիայի վարչության պետ Դմիտրի Ադբաշյանն այդ մասին հայտնել է առցանց լրատվամիջոցներից մեկին, հայտնելով, որ նախատեվում է բոլոր աշխատանքները մինչ այդ ավարտել։
Ինչո՞ւ ուշացավ օդանավակայանի բացումը: Ադբաշյանը պարզաբանել է, որ երբ սկսվել են թռիչքուղու վերկանգնման աշխատանքները, մասնագիտական սխալ է թույլ տրվել:
"Պետք էր վազքուղու ուղղությունը մոտ տասը աստիճանով փոխել, որպեսզի որեւէ սար կամ բլուր չխանգարի: Բայց քանի որ բոլոր աշխատանքներն արդեն ավարտվել էին, որոշեցինք այլ լուծում գտնել, որպեսզի առանց դժվարության վայրէջք կատարեն ամենաժամանակակից օդանավերը։ Հիմա լայնացնում ենք վազքուղին, ինչպես նաեւ՝ հարթեցնում բլուրներից մեկը՝ մի քանի տասնյակ մետրով: Ահա սա է օդանավակայանը փոքր-ինչ ուշացումով բացելու պատճառը, այլ ոչ թե Բաքվի անպատասխանատու և անլուրջ սպառնալիքները",- ասել է Ադբաշյանը:
Նրա խոսքով, Ստեփանակերտի օդանավակայանը կարողանալու է ընդունել ամենաժամանակակից ինքնաթիռներ՝ "Բոինգ", "Էյրբաս" եւ բեռանատար "Իլ":
Ինչ վերաբերում է Ադրբեջանի սպառնալիքներին, թե կվնասեն թռչող ինքնաթիռները, վարչության պետը վստահեցրել է, որ մտավախության կարիք չկա։
"Երևանից Ստեփանակերտ եւ հակառակ ուղղությամբ թռչող օդանավերն անգամ չեն մոտենում Ադրբեջանի օդային տարածքին: Երեւանից օդանավն ուղղություն է վերցնելու դեպի Սյունիք եւ Սիսիանից ուղղակի թեքվելու է դեպի Ստեփանակերտի օդանավակայան: Թռիչքները կտեւեն 25-ից 40 րոպե՝ կախված օդանավի տեսակից",- մեւնաբանել է Ադբաշյանը։
