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.

        They even smoke too. It's a shame they kicked the Azeri's ass with very short breath. They would probably be able to slaughter Azeri soldiers if they didn't smoke.

          Azeri Helicopters Did Not Infiltrate NKR Air Space
          [ 2009/09/12 | 16:59 ] Nagorno Karabakh

          Today, one of the Armenian papers reported that from 8-10 Azeri military helicopters passed over into Artsakh airspace and then returned after flying about for some time.

          NKR Defence Army Press Secretary Senor Hasratyan reported that air defence units of the NKR had indeed monitored the flight of Azeri helicopters but that it was some 6-7 kilometres within Azerbaijani territory and that no action was taken as a result. The NKR press release stated that the NKR air defence units are constantly monitoring the borders for enemy aviation movement and that any attempts to infiltrate Artsakh air space would be severely counteracted.

              Tufenkian Foundation Urges Increased Assistance to Kashatagh

              [ 2009/09/15 | 01:36 ] Nagorno Karabakh

              The Tufenkian Foundation, which organized a conference in Kashatagh in the Spring of 2008, emphasizing the importance of the liberated territories for the security and viability of Artsakh and which sought to attract diaspora business investment to the region, has issued a statement calling on Armenians to redouble their efforts in supporting humanitarian and economic development projects there.

              Executive Director Antranig Kasbarian notes the mixed results of the conference and laments the fact that “the majority of participants have been slow to respond – either expressing goodwill without tangible result, or remaining silent altogether.” Luckily, Mr. Kasbarian adds that some groups in the diaspora have stepped up their efforts, already taking on important projects to benefit the region.

              The Tufenkian Foundation oversees a number of projects in the liberated territories in the health, education and culture, infrastructure and agricultural sectors.

              Mr. Kasbarian stresses the importance for the continued funding of projects in the region. “At a time such as this, when Azerbaijan and Turkey seek land concessions in return for normalizing ties with Armenia, Karabagh’s fate hangs in the balance,” he notes.

              Those interested in getting involved are urges contact Maro Matosian, Karabakh Country Director at our Stepanakert office at [email protected].

              • Re: Nagorno-Karabagh: Military Balance Between Armenia & Azerbaijan

                this is messed up. its from the turkish army

                Last month, four Turkish families with men in the army received the dreaded news: “Your sons have fallen as martyrs while on operation.”

                Ten days after the four young men were buried, the public was able to read the eyewitness accounts in a small and remarkable newspaper called Taraf. Ibrahim Ozturk, 25, had fallen asleep while on guard duty. After he was found out, his commanding officer pulled the pin of a grenade and handed it to him. He was ordered to hold it, with its safety lever depressed, until he understood the importance of staying awake. Mr. Ozturk scavenged for a spare pin. He pleaded with his superior. After less than an hour the grenade exploded in his hand, killing him and three other conscripts. Forced to admit there had been a cover-up, the army charged the officer with murder.

                This is the latest army scandal publicized by Taraf. In less than two years, Taraf has exposed a dozen cases of cover-up, national security negligence, and plans of a coup d'etat.

                “Taraf is a democratic newspaper. They put it all out on the table,” says Taraf reader Ali Ergul, 28.

                Before Taraf, the army enjoyed almost no journalistic scrutiny. The need for favour and credit has always made it too risky for big-business media bosses to oppose the military.

                Kaya Balaban, 56, reads Taraf because of what he saw during the military coups in 1960 and 1980. “I read Taraf to reassure myself,” he says. “Resisting a foreign occupation is easier than resisting your own soldiers.”

                Taraf is run from the top floor of a bookstore in Istanbul by best-selling novelist Ahmet Altan, 60, and veteran correspondent Yasemin Congar, 42.

                “It is easy to explain to Westerners. We're not radicals, we're plain old democrats. … We want the military out of politics. We want Turkey to be able to talk about its own history openly,” says Congar.

                Gradually, it seems, they are getting what they want. Fundamental change is happening in Turkey. Civilians are forcing the army to relinquish its decades-long control of the state. Earlier this summer, the ruling AK party passed a ground-breaking law allowing military personnel to be tried in civilian courts. Last week, the government announced its rapprochement with Armenia, pledging that historians would investigate the Armenian genocide, a proposal that is anathema to the military. And the Kurdish issue – Turkey and the Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK) have been exchanging blows for decades – is to officially become a matter of social policy, no longer considered just terrorism to be fought by the army. Taraf's reporting has contributed to all this.

                “Taraf has been quite influential in shaping the agenda,” says Suat Kiniklioglu, an AK party member of parliament. But the army remains powerful, and it has always been dangerous to cross them; rumours and slander can be deadly in Turkey.

                “This means you become a real target. It could mean that you get killed,” says Amberin Zaman, the Turkey correspondent for The Economist and a Taraf columnist. Turkish-Armenian editor Hrant Dink was assassinated in 2007 after his conviction by a Turkish court for “denigrating Turkishness” made him a target of fascists.

                “We do not sit and calculate risk. Ever,” says Congar. Taraf has printed a headline in Kurdish, the first national newspaper to do so. Against convention, it has chosen not to distinguish between “martyrs” and “terrorists” when describing casualties in Turkey's war with the PKK. And it published satellite photos showing the army allowed, whether by negligence or complicity, a PKK attack on an army outpost in late 2008, which killed 17 soldiers.

                There have been consequences. Taraf is fighting more than 100 court cases. Ahmet Altan has been charged more than 50 times, including for affirming the Armenian genocide on Taraf's front page. Congar has “five or six” cases still open against her. “If you are in Turkey, and if you want to say the truth, you will be charged,” says Altan.

                “We are used to it,” says Congar, who was first charged when she was 19 years old. Bianet, a media monitor group here, reported that in April, May, and June of 2009, 57 journalists were put on trial in Turkey. They estimate the actual number is more than three times this. This week it was reported that Turkey refused to sign a press freedom declaration issued by other European countries.

                Since modern Turkey was established in 1923, the Turkish army has been the centre of the Turkish state, guardian of the Turkish republic, and defender of founder Mustafa Kemal Ataturk's secular ideals.

                And they have had passionate support.

                “Talking against the military was talking against everything that was dear to this nation,” explains Congar.

                Still today, many Turks drape flags and images of Ataturk from their balconies on national holidays. Ataturk's image is used as Facebook profile photos. His signature can be seen tattooed on shoulders.

                Inevitably in Turkey, discussions of civilian control of the state will turn to the spectre of Islam. Many Turks believe only a strong military can prevent Islamists from taking over, and many also believe muckraking around the army is part of an Islamic agenda. No wonder there is so much rumour, often accepted as fact, that Taraf's coverage of the army is funded by Fethullah Gulen, leader of a large and most influential Muslim movement, and usually considered secular Turkey's enemy number one. Both Taraf and the Gulen movement deny any connection.

                “Taraf is … not giving an easy ride to the military but it's giving an easy ride to political Islam,” argues Esra Arsan, a professor of journalism at Istanbul's Bilgi University.

                Whatever the rumours, an important question for the future is whether, once the generals' retreat from the centre of the state is complete, Taraf will go after the ascending civilian power as tenaciously as it has the army.

                    ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE “MIATSUM” NATIONAL INITIATIVE
                    [ 2009/09/25 | 19:36 ] society

                    ON THE ISSUE OF THE PROVOCATION OF A NEW GENOCIDE OF THE ARMENIANS BY THE POLICY FOLLOWED BY THE PRESIDENTS OF THE COUNTRIES CO-PRESIDING THE “MINSK GROUP” OF THE OSCE

                    Considering the obvious incompatibility of the so-called “Madrid principles” -issued by the presidents of the countries co-presiding the OSCE “Minsk Group” on the Karabakh conflict resolution- with the national and state interests and the very existence of Armenia;

                    Considering the total threat to the Armenian nation and to the Republic of Armenia that the complete or partial implementation of the “Madrid Principles” contains, including:

                    - The annihilation of the defense capacities of the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Mountainous Karabakh;

                    - The complete destruction of the current military and political balance which is the single guarantee of the safety and security of the peaceful civilian population;

                    - The inevitability of the resuming of Azeri genocidal aggression against the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Mountainous Karabakh, as a consequence of the above mentioned reasons;

                    - The inevitable and irreparable depopulation of vast parts of the Republic of Mountainous Karabakh and the Republic of Armenia due to the loss of the real guarantees of security;

                    - The reinforcement of the political and military blockade of the Republic of Armenia;

                    Stating that the unilateral disintegration of the military and political balance -shaped by the suppressing of the Azeri aggression against the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Mountainous Karabakh as well as by the liberation of the part of Armenian territory according to the international law- and the “peacekeeping activity” suggested as a compensation for this one-sided disintegration of the national security is absolutely unable to defend the Republic of Armenia and the Republic of Mountainous Karabakh from the Azeri and Turkish genocidal intensions;

                    Estimating as absurd and illegal all attempts to deprive from their rights the Armenian citizens of Artsakh, who have realized their right of self-determination according to the various international agreements and acts and who live on the part of the national territory belonging by international law to the Republic of Armenia, and to replace these rights by some uncertain “referendum” and “expression of the will”;

                    Stating that the Armenian-Turkish “reconciliation” supported by the countries co-presiding the OSCE “Minsk Group” is aimed to suspend the recognition of the Armenian Genocide and to officialize the current illegal territorial division in the region, which is but the result of the annihilation of the Armenian population;



                    The “Miatsum” National Initiative, aspiring to reach to a sustainable peace and stability in the region, based on the restoration of the international law, on behalf of the Armenian nation living in Armenia and in the Diaspora announces:

                    the President of the USA Barak Obama, the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev and the President of France Nicolas Sarkozy who officially approved the so-called “Madrid Principles” and the fake Armenian-Turkish “reconciliation” are implementing a mutually agreed policy tantamount to provoking a new genocide of the Armenian people and to the annihilation of the Armenian statehood.

                    The “Miatsum” National Initiative calls upon the Presidents of the USA, Russia and France to step back from the planning and implementation of schemes which will trigger a new genocide of Armenians, to withhold from the current criminal support of the Turkish-Azeri genocidal policy -inspired by the expectations of doubtful geopolitical benefits-, and to establish a real peace in the region and to work for the total restoration of the rights of the Republic of Armenia, violated by the Genocide.



                    On behalf of the “Miatsum” National Initiative:

                    Grizelda Ghazaryan,

                    Alex Kananyan

                      Six Armenians in Azerbaijani captivity


                      No incidents were reported during the September 29 OSCE monitoring in Tavush Marz (Armenia) on the Armenia-Azerbaijan border. Armenian side proposed to hold a meeting of the frontier villages’ heads. However, Azerbaijani side refused the proposal reasoning by absence of the official decree from superior bodies and Baku authorization.

                      As to exchange of prisoners, the RA Armed Forces General Staff representative Samvel Asatryan stated that currently there are six Armenian soldiers in Azerbaijani captivity, whereas 2 Azerbaijani ones — in Armenia. Negotiations on the exchange of prisoners are presently held with international organizations.
