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.

    arakeretzig, where are you located now? You can send us reports from Hayastan next week. I have a feeling that these skirmishes are going to last more than a few days.

            So far our response has been very limited, we only respond to their attacks, that's after 4 seperate attacks. our MoD seems to like the status quo so much, they don't wont to even take punitive measures. what you guys think?

                This latest round of violence initiated by Azerbaijan was obviously timed to coincide with Hillary Clinton's visit the the region. The Azeris are trying to make it impossible for the US to ignore the current situation despite all the other myriad of problems and headaches the US is currently facing, thus forcing the US to become more involved in peace talks (this will anger the Russians further- Armenia will benefit from this). We'll see if this bares fruit but my guess is that US interest will wear off in a few weeks and we'll be back to the status quo much to the chagrin of the Azeris- again, the US has much bigger fish to fry. The Azeris clearly feel the US is their best bet and they're obviously desperate at this point to use such measures and waste lives at what basically amounts to a last ditch effort less than full-scale war. Now they have painted themselves into a corner. Rest assured, the Armenians will find a solution to the current situation on the border and this may result in the Azeri lines being pushed back from not only the Tavush region, but others as well (or at the very least, counter measures to impact the situation on Azeri border regions).

                I expect Armenia sees the military necessity of reinforcing and strengthening their lines, protecting civilians, and creating a positional advantage for defense. This is already backfiring on Azerbaijan. If they want to escalate or start a new war, they'll have one. I can envision hundreds of thousands of new refugees from Tovuz, Akstafa, Kazak, Shamkir and even Ghandzha flooding their way east if this keeps up- Azerbaijan may revisit the old nightmare. This is not bluster but most likely the Armenian strategy should this escalation continue. Just look at the map. If the Azeris start the war anew, Northwestern Azerbaijan will most certainly fall (if not immediately at least eventually) which will effectively cut off the oil pipeline and create a brand new refugees crisis and the give the Aliyevs the chance to fully relocate to Dubai as their regime falls. The Azeris have way more to lose but are take a slight gamble. We'll see if they go all-in.

                    I agree that northwest Azerbaijan would likely fall. And this would allow Armenia to drive deeper and link up with Russia.
                    For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
                    to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

                      Hate to say this, but we should not beleive full-heartedly what Armenian media says either. Granted, they are not filled with as much BS as Azerbaijan, but I think we can safely assume that not all facts are presented.
