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.

          STRUGGLE FOR NAGORNO-KARABAKH 2.0: THE MILITARY ADVANTAGE OF AZERBAIJAN GROWS FURTHER
          by Alexander Khramchikhin

          In case of a war each party has its own advantages. For Armenia this is a convenient and perfectly arranged defensive position along the entire frontline, as well as higher combat qualities of the servicemen than those of the enemy.
          What about advantages of Artsakh? Artsakh became independent in December 1991 and the Chemical Weapons Convention, which Armenia and Azerbaijan have both signed and ratified, was only drafted in September 1992. This means that, besides not being allowed to sign the treaty itself, Artsakh is not defined as a "successor state" (in the way that South Sudan is considered to have signed the CWC because South Sudan was a part of Sudan when Sudan signed the treaty).

          This means, for example, that Artsakh, unlike Armenia or Azerbaijan, may be able to legally manufacture and deploy Novichok-5 (A-232). Novichok is supposed to be undetectable to make and use, and is made from chemicals not regulated under the CWC:



          Another example: what if Artsakh gets some radioactive material like nuclear plant or hospital waste, grinds it into very fine dust, and loads it onto SCUD missiles. Is NK worth parts of Baku being made unsafe for 10 years? With a SCUD loaded with nuclear waste, even if it is intercepted by an S-300 then the warhead is just scattered over a large area rather than contaminating the area around the targeted government or military site.

          This does not mean that other countries will not try to bring pressure on Artsakh for having such weapons (stopping aid and remittances), but even then if Artsakh could sign an international treaty in return for removing such weapons, that would make the case of Artsakh to be recognized as a nation stronger.

          There are many such possible solutions to, "THE MILITARY ADVANTAGE OF AZERBAIJAN GROWS FURTHER." Something for all the turk spies who read these pages to pass on to their pasha.

              ARTSAKH NEWSLETTER
              January 16-31, 2012

              Artsakh Newsletter summarizes key developments in the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, Artsakh and is prepared by the NKR Office in the United States.


              SECURITY & POLITICS


              Armenian, Azerbaijani and Russian presidents met in Russia’s Sochi to discuss Karabakh settlement. A joint declaration has been adopted to expedite “the process of reaching understanding with regard to the Basic Principles” and encourage confidence building.

              NKR Foreign Ministry welcomed UK’s position on Scotland’s intention to hold a referendum on its future status. The Artsakh ministry reiterated that human rights and self-determination are a priority for democracies.

              French Senate has approved a bill criminalizing the denial of genocides, including the Armenian genocide of 1915. Armenia and Artsakh thanked the French Senators for their position. A group of Senators have since appealed to the Constitutional Court to issue a judgment on the legislation’s validity.

              California Assembly member Felipe Fuentes introduced a resolution to commemorate the Armenian massacres in Azerbaijan’s Sumgait, Kirovabad and Baku between 1988 and 1990. “We stand together today to acknowledge the atrocities of the past so that we do not repeat them in the future,” the assembly member said.


              ECONOMY & BUSINESS


              NKR government pledged that development of industrial infrastructure, along with agriculture and housing will remain priorities in 2012. Stepanakert is expected to have round-the-clock water supply by the end of 2012.

              A first-ever Ostrich farm has been established in Artsakh, located in Gishi village, Martuni region.


              SOCIETY


              The Huffington Post has profiled Nagorno Karabakh a one of the great tourist destinations. “If you're staying with a local, don't be surprised if you're offered homemade mulberry vodka with breakfast. Drink up”, the article says.


              HISTORICAL REFERENCE


              The pogroms in Baku in January 1990 against its Armenian residents was a culmination of anti-Armenian violence in response to Artsakh’s peaceful campaign for reunification with Armenia. Since January 13, 1990, Azerbaijani nationalists launched methodical, house-by-house attacks on Armenians living in the Azerbaijani capital, weeklong attacks that came to be known as Baku pogroms. As a result, scores of Armenians were killed. Soviet authorities evacuated remnants of once 250,000-strong Armenian community of Baku.


              Twenty years ago, on January 26, 1992, the residents of Karin Tak village of Shushi region heroically defended themselves from an attack by the Azeri army. This became one of the first serious victories of Artsakh self-defense forces and paved the way for further military successes. Twenty-two of the forty Karin Tak defenders have lost their lives in the battle against a much larger enemy force.

              On the occasion President Bako Sahakian visited the village and presented medals and awards to the participants of the defense operation.


              About the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, ArtsakhThe Nagorno Karabakh Republic, Artsakh, was established in 1991 basing on a declaration of the local legislature, and results of a subsequent nation-wide referendum. The people of Artsakh defended their choice in a war unleashed by Azerbaijan. The Nagorno Karabakh Republic, Artsakh has emerged as a democratic, rule-of-law state with capable armed forces, a growing market economy, and an independent foreign policy.
