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.

      Azerbaijan: Baku Disputes Story on Azerbaijani-Israeli Military Collaboration against Iran
      March 30, 2012 - 2:33pm, by Shahin Abbasov Azerbaijan Iran Israel EurasiaNet's Weekly Digest Azeri-Israeli Relations
      Azerbaijani military and political analysts are disputing a March 28 report on an American website that alleges Israel has gained access to airbases in Azerbaijan for possible use in an attack against Iran.

      While one member of Azerbaijan’s parliament tells EurasiaNet.org that he believes Israel is seeking such access, he, along with other local analysts, believe that the risks of Baku’s granting such a request far outweigh the potential benefits.

      “There is infrastructure, and I believe the Israelis are probing the possibility of its use. But, of course, there is no consent by Baku,” said Rasim Musabekov, an independent MP who sits on parliament’s International Relations and Inter-Parliamentary Affairs Committee.

      It is “a great exaggeration to say that a decision has already been made and Azerbaijan has turned into one Israeli airbase,” he added.

      Ali Hasanov, a top presidential aide, and representatives of the Ministry of Defense have vigorously denied the claims made in the March 28 report, which was posted on the web version of Foreign Policy magazine. Meanwhile, Azerbaijani military analysts are seizing on questionable aspects of the report.

      The article, for example, cited Sitalcay airstrip, located 70 kilometers north of Baku, as one likely candidate for use by the Israelis for re-fueling fighter planes after strikes against Iran. But military expert Uzeir Jafarov, a colonel-in-reserve in the Azerbaijani army, notes that the airfield, which opened in 1981 and once housed Soviet jet fighters, has not been in operation since the mid-1990s. “From 1992 for a few years, the airfield was used by Azerbaijan’s air force, but then was closed down,” Jafarov said.

      Sitalcay’s location is another important detail, continued Jafarov. “It is not a good place to keep a low-profile,” he said. “The airstrip is located very close to the busy Baku-Russian border highway and any take-off or landing is easily visible.”

      While Sitalcay’s Soviet-era infrastructure is still usable, he added, preparing the airfield for operations again would take at least six months.

      A resident of Khizi, a town close to the Sitalcay airstrip, told EurasiaNet.org that there has been no sign of recent activity at the airfield, which, he added, is long closed. “The area is fenced in and guarded by soldiers, but there are no jets there,” he said.

      Military expert Jasur Sumarinly also confirmed that Sitalcay has been closed for years. The Azerbaijani air force today uses three bases – in Gala and Taghiyev, outside of Baku, and in the Kurdamir region, in central Azerbaijan, Sumarinly said. All of the bases are up to North Atlantic Treaty Organization standards, but NATO itself relies on Baku’s Heydar Aliyev International Airport for its cargo transit to Afghanistan.

      No strong incentive exists for such an agreement – despite Azerbaijan’s $1.6 billion purchase of Israeli military equipment and oil sales to Israel, commented Arastun Orujlu, head of Baku’s East-West research center. “The links with Israel are important for Azerbaijan, but not so much as to turn them into a real threat from Iran, and to risk Baku’s ties with Turkey,” he said.

      Citing unnamed sources in Turkish diplomatic circles, Elhan Shahinoglu, the head of Baku’s Atlas research center, said that Azerbaijan’s military cooperation with Israel already appears to have created problems for Baku with Turkey, its closest ally.

      Both Orujlu and Shahinoglu believe that Israel is exaggerating the scale of its military cooperation with Azerbaijan in order to fuel tensions between Baku and Tehran, and advance its own desire for strong action against Iran’s nuclear research activities.

      Shahinoglu cites Israeli media reports last month about Azerbaijan’s purchase of military equipment from Israel, a fact Baku had previously concealed. The result, he alleged, was that Azerbaijani Defense Minister Safar Abiyev, who traveled to Iran earlier this month, “had to give unpleasant explanations to Tehran.”

      Orujlu agreed. “It is Israel, which, from time to time, leaks information about a larger scale of cooperation than exists in reality to stir up Iran’s anger,” he said. “Unfortunately, Baku cannot, or does not want to prevent it.”

      Azerbaijan also has been notably circumspect in public about its investigation of a supposed Iranian assassination attempt against Israeli targets in Azerbaijan and its arrest of 22 individuals who were allegedly plotting attacks against the US and Israeli embassies in Baku on behalf of Iran.

      That public silence most likely reflects the longtime Caucasus art of foreign policy juggling; in Azerbaijan’s case, trying to maintain its equilibrium between regional players – the United States, Russia, Turkey, Israel and Iran – countries with opposing interests. Analysts like Orujlu see no reason for Baku to upset that balance now. “It is the wrong policy to be in the center of a conflict between Israel and Iran,” he said.

              Ադրբեջանի Զինված Ուժերի 3-րդ բանակային կորպուսը (Շամխորի կորպուս) արդեն վաղուց է, ինչ տխուր համբավ է վաստակել Ադրբեջանում։ Այս կորպուսն առաջատարն է զոհերի, միջադեպերի և կաշառակերության մակարդակով։ Մեկ միջադեպում միանգամից յոթ զինվորների մահը և մի քանի օր անց դեպքի միակ վկայի զոհվելը նույնպես այդ կորպուսում է պատահել։ Հենց այդ դեպքից հետո պաշտոնից զինվորական կոչման իջեցմամբ ազատվեց կորպուսի հրամանատար Չինգիզ Շաֆիևը։

              Սակայն ադրբեջանցիների հույսերը, թե դա կբերի կորպուսում իրավիճակի էական բարերլավման, հօդս ցնդեցին այն բանից հետո, երբ հայտնի դարձավ Շաֆիևին փոխարինողի անունը։ Նոր հրամանատար էր նշանակվել Ադրբեջանի ազգային հերոս, գեներալ-լեյտենանտ Ռովշան Ակպերովը։ Ակպերովն Ադրբեջանում հայտնի է որպես հարբեցող և թմրամոլ, բազմաթիվ «դեբոշների», սկանդալների ու նույնիսկ մարդասպանությունների մեղավոր։ Ավելին, Ակպերովը հասցրել է աչքի ընկնել նույնիսկ Ադրբեջանի սահմաններից դուրս. մի քանի տարի առաջ ադրբեջանցի գեներալն Ուկրաինայի Ռազմական Ակադեմիայում սովորելու ժամանակ Կիևում դանակով սպանել էր ադրբեջանցի գործարար Էլչին Ալիևին։

              Շամխորի բանակային կորպուսի հրամանատար Ռովշան Ակպերովը

              Եվ բնական է, որ Շամխորի կորպուսում իրավիճակը արդյունքում միայն ավելի է վատանում։ Որպես դրա հերթական ապացույց ձեզ ենք ներկայացնում ադրբեջանական լրատվամիջոցներից վերցված հետևյալ նյութը.

              «Մահվան» զորամաս Գյանջայում ” Թոքերի հիվանդություններից այստեղ հինգ զինվոր է մահացել

              Բեյլեգան քաղաքի բնակիչ Սուլեյման Գաֆարովը հայտնում է, որ Գյանջա քաղաքում տեղակայված N զորամասի զինվորները պահվում են հակասանիտարական պայմաններում: Մեր խմբագրություն գրած այդ մասին պատմող իր նամակում նա նշում է. «Զինվորները ապրում են հակամարդկային պայմաններում: Զորամասում տիրում է հակասանիտարական վիճակ, զինվորներին տալիս են կեղտոտ, հիվանդածին և գարշահոտ ջուր: Բոլոր զինվորներն ուտում են ոջլոտ ուտեստներ, և ապրում են սառնամանիքի պայմաններում: Վերջին երեք տարում զորամասում հենց այդ հիվանդություններից հինգ զինվոր է մահացել: Զորամասը նմանվում է ավերակի»:
              Բողոքողը [նամակի հեղինակը] նշում է նաև նույն այդ զորամասում տիրող կաշառակերության մասին. «Երբ զորամաս է այցելում հանձնաժողով, հիվանդ զինվորներին ցույց չեն տալիս, որ հանձնաժողովը չտեսնի: Չեմ կարող այս զորամասի հրամանատարներին ադրբեջանցի կոչել»:

              Նշենք նաև, որ նույն նամակի կրկնօրինակներն ուղարկվել են նախագահ Իլհամ Ալիևին և պաշտպանության նախարար Սաֆար Աբիևին:
