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.

BAKU UPS DEFENSE BUDGET SHOCKED OVER MILITARY PARADE IN ARMENIA
PanARMENIAN.Net
October 12, 2011 - 20:12 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Azerbaijan's draft budget for 2012 envisages
allocation of $1.77 bln to defence sector, increasing the share by 1.9%
against last year.
Azerbaijan's budget for 2011, revised upwards in May, allocates AZN
1,364,796,025 ($1.74bn) to direct military spending.
Recently Baku has been bragging about its military budget's topping
the whole of Armenia's state budget. Azerbaijan is spending billions
on weaponry purchase, miraculously circumventing the Treaty on
Conventional Armed Forces in Europe.
Azeri authorities are shamelessly inciting its people to a war and
organising sniper courses at schools, ready to turn their kids into
cannon fodder. Baku flames up anti-Armenian rhetoric with allegations
of "Azeri kids killed by Armenian soldiers".
Baku keeps maniacally upping its military budget to buy more weaponry,
ready to set up more provocations, to spread more anti-Armenian
propaganda to make Azeri people disregard the misdeeds of authorities.
Or is there another reason?
Yerevan hosted a grandiose military parade dedicated to 20th
anniversary of Armenia's independence. The festive Republic Square
gathered huge masses, exultantly greeting marching soldiers of
Armenian, Artsakh and Russian armies and a vast range of defense
weaponry demonstrated.
SU-25 jet aircrafts, leaving coloured streaks in the sky as they flew
by, as well as Mi-24, Mi-2 helicopter gunships were welcomed with
special enthusiasm. Those gathered were impressed by defence weaponry
demonstrated: 9ë72 Elbrus vehicle complex, 9K79-1 Tochka-U tactical
missile system, S-125 Pechora, K11 Krug and Osa surface-to-air missile
systems, GAZ-2975 Tigr high-mobility military vehicles, T-72 tanks,
heavy artillery, self-propelled howitzers, anti-tank missiles; Krunk
Armenian-made international standard missile drones were demonstrated.
The parade was led by the chief of the General Staff of the Armed
Forces, Colonel-General Yuri Khachaturov with Armenian Defense Minister
Seyran Ohanyan at reviewing stand.
Armenian President, Supreme Commander in Chief of the Armenian Armed
Forces Serzh Sargsyan, Nagorno Karabakh Republic President Bako
Sahakyan, Catholicos of All Armenians Karekin II, Catholicos of the
Great House of Cilicia Aram I, high-ranking politicians and foreign
diplomats reviewed the parade from official stands.
The parade couldn't but rise the upsurge of pride and patriotism with
many, even most sceptical viewers, who were given a chance to become
witness to the might of the Armenian army.
Azerbaijan, unable to predict the response of Armenian army in case of
a renewed war, was clearly shocked over Yerevan-hosted military parade,
which might be a reason for Baku's expanding its defense budget.

RUSSIAN EXPERT: AZERBAIJAN CAN WIN ONLY A BLITZKRIEG BUT THIS SCENARIO IS IMPOSSIBLE
arminfo
Wednesday, October 12, 17:10
Neither of the parties to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict will undertake
a big war, Russian political scientist Andrey Yepifantsev said in an
online interview given to ArmInfo in the framework of the "Alternative
Information in the Armenian-Azeri Dialogue" project of the Region
Center (Armenia) and the Peace and Democracy Institute (Azerbaijan).
"Azerbaijan will be able to beat the Armenians only in case of a
blitzkrieg but this scenario is impossible. If the war drags for more
than 5-7 days, Azerbaijan will face the 'pipe' factor: the countries
on the other end of the pipe, i.e. those receiving oil and gas from
Azerbaijan, will force the Azeris to stop the war. So, there will be no
big war. On the other hand, if the current status quo is continued, in
some 10-15 years the blockade-ridden Armenia will be so much exhausted
economically that the blitzkrieg scenario will become possible. Once
this happens, Azerbaijan will not miss its chance," Yepifantsev said.
He believes that the change of the negotiating format is possible.
There are four scenarios: 1. continued ineffective talks and a
possible blitzkrieg by Azerbaijan; 2. refusal to continue the talks
and a consequent 10-year pause under international non-resumption
guarantees; 3. continued talks and simultaneous efforts to force
the Armenian and Azeri societies into mutual concessions; and 4. a
settlement formula imposed by an international coalition.
"For the moment the signing of a framework agreement on Nagorno-
Karabakh is impossible," Yepifantsev said.
