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.

Anyway, it is not like the Russians can't obliterate these new toys. This is mostly Misha trying to save face after the humiliation his army suffered in 2008. They want the morale of the country to rise.
      By that logic, massive government spending towards party hats and
      Halloween costumes is also a wise decision because it creates jobs. In other words, you also have to look at the usefulness of the product being made for that country (and in Georgia's case armament is not useful).

        Developing your own domestic military industry is useful and important for a country since it will create skill. It's a nascent industry that's vital for overall national security. Their problem is that their enemy is Russia and they can't even come close to competing with them. And they chose to build useless sh!t like Didgori (when they already have multiple types of IFVs that are better). But I guess you have to start somewhere...

          As far as I can see, any future Russo-Georgian conflict will be the result for provocation from Georgia. Therefore,this buildup can only hurt them. But yeah, they do have to start somewhere.

              The last closed border in Europe: PHOTOS
              19:06, 25 May, 2012

              YEREVAN, MAY 25, ARMENPRESS: Border is never calm. This is an expression of a person, who is responsible for the defense of 120 km section of the Armenian-Turkish border. Commander of Armavir frontier detachment Alexander Zlobin is presenting the situation in the section entrusted to him with calmness typical of an experienced border guard.

              The commander’s confidence, in all appearances, comes from the rich history of the frontier detachment of Armavir: it was founded still in 1924 and has given 3 soviet heroes throughout its history.

              Today, too, our border guards continue the traditions of their hero grandfathers. From 1943 up today about 900 persons, trespassed the border of the above-mentioned section, have been arrested: local residents show support to the border gourds in this issue.

              “Our main goal is to secure the protection of interests of Armenia and Russia in the sphere of border defence,” said Alexander Zobkin. He informed that in Armavir section of Armenian-Turkish border during this year has been recorded one case of border infringement and three cases of border regime violation. To fulfill their tasks Russian border guards also cooperate with province authorities of Armenia.

              Processes of rearrangement and updating are currently underway in the frontier services of Armenia and Russia. “The staff is being replenished, and the buildings -- reconstructed,” said Zlobin.

              He noted that last year two border turnpikes of the Armenian-Turkish border were reequipped, and this year -- one. Zlobin also stressed that they strive to replenish the frontier forces with contractual servicemen mostly, who are mainly Armenian citizens. “This year’s replenishments will give an opportunity to enhance the border defense process,” he said.

              The frontier guards, conscientiously fulfilling their duty, live with an ordinary life too. Their children attend the nearby school and kindergarten. The detachment also has its own museum; here the glorious history of the detachment is presented.

              May 28 marks the Border Guards Day. “Armenpress” news agency staff joins all congratulations.

                    unless saka gives russia casus belli by closing border with Armenia, or maybe NATO intervening in conflict, since any NATO forces in georgia is unacceptable to russia, that would be end of georgia(yet again)
