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.

    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.

      well, they could be good spies, but unless they're armed... they're vulnerable and aint much of a threat to their armed forces (or regime)

        Agree. I actually believe they do pass information on to Russia, Armenia, and Iran. I also believe they may be susceptible to desertion and/or refuse to fight when the war resumes-- they could possibly start a civil conflict as well-- even if only on a small-scale.

          Russia Increases Military Flights Over Armenia

          June 9, 2012

          By DAVID M. HERSZENHORN


          MOSCOW - Russian fighter jets are conducting an increasing number of
          training flights over Armenia, a military spokesman said on Saturday,
          sending a clear warning that Russia could intervene at any moment
          should violence escalate further in the territorial dispute between
          Armenia and Azerbaijan.

          The military spokesman, Colonel Igor Gorbul, told the Interfax news
          agency that Russian fight jets stationed at a base in Armenia have
          conducted about 300 training flights since the beginning of 2012, and
          have increased the number of flying hours by more than 20 percent from
          last year.

          Violence has flared recently along the border of Armenia and
          Azerbaijan, the former Soviet republics, which have been at war over
          the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh for more than 20 years. At
          least eight soldiers - five Azerbaijanis and three Armenians - were
          killed in clashes along the border last week.

          Russia, along with France, the United States and other countries, has
          repeatedly urged a peaceful settlement to the dispute between Armenia
          and Azerbaijan. Russia maintains a military base in Armenia and
          regularly sells weapons to Armenia.

          Colonel Gorbul said Russian fighter pilots were preparing for combat.
          `The main emphasis in performing aerobatic elements is made on the
          ability to apply them in real-life air combat conditions,' he said.

          The Russian foreign ministry last week said it regarded the border
          clashes as `unacceptable' and would continue to try to broker a
          peaceful settlement.

          Azerbaijan, which currently holds a seat on the United Nations
          Security Council, said that it was also appealing to the United
          Nations for help in hopes that international mediators could help
          reach a settlement this year.

            More Azeri soldiers “step on mines”

            June 11, 2012 - 11:43 AMT
            PanARMENIAN.Net - Two officers of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces - Zafir Mammadov and Ilgar Verdiyev stepped on a mine in the Geranboy direction, Trend News reported citing Azerbaijani Defense Ministry. Mammadov is chief of engineering service, while Verdiyev is department commander of the same service of the military unit. Both officers were hospitalized. Verdiyev lost his arm and Mammadov lost his leg.
            Increased instances of Azeri ceasefire violation have been reported recently, with Azerbaijani side shelling border villages and conducting acts of sabotage onthe border with Armenia and Artsakh.

            Sources say that 21-25 Azerbaijani soldiers were killed in Azeri subversive actions in recent days in Tavush- Ghazakh zone of Armenian-Azerbaijani border.
            On June 5 night, an attempt was made by Azerbaijani soldiers to infiltrate one of the positions of Artsakh defense army. Armenian side, however, managed to hinder Azeri attack, with NKR army units pushing Azeri forces back to the original positions.

            Azerbaijani authorities try hard to concoct reasons behind the deaths and injuries on its side. In fact, these are saboteurs, killed or wounded by Armenian armed forces who were trying to hinder Azeri subversive acts. Thus, according to Azerbaijani authorities, Azeri soldiers commit mass suicides, get blown up by mine, and die in an accident.

            On June 6, Azerbaijani media reported that a soldier, 19, was “blown up by mine.” He was hospitalized, with doctors assessing his state as moderate.
            Sometimes, even a concrete slab kills an Azerbaijani soldier. For instance, it was reported that two Azeri servicemen were killed in Agstafa region, with another having been “injured during collapse of concrete slab.”

            Emin Guliyev and Orkhan Huseynov died, while Elnur Kechalov is still at hospital. Meanwhile, according to Miacum.am website, 21 Azerbaijani soldiers were killed in Azeri subversive acts in recent days in Tavush- Kazakh zone of Armenian-Azerbaijani border. On June 7, Azerbaijani media reported that another Azeri soldier Cabrayilov Ramil Dilavar drowned in Kur River.

              More on Nato, http://xecutrix.usc.edu/news/msg425296.html

              Shame what they are doing.

              Here is one of the light show :-)

              La crise syrienne a changé de nature. Le processus de déstabilisation qui devait ouvrir la voie à une intervention militaire légale de l’Alliance atlantique a échoué. Ôtant leur masque, les États-Unis ont publiquement évoqué la possibilité d’attaquer la Syrie sans l’aval du Conseil de sécurité, comme ils le firent au Kosovo. C’était feindre d’ignorer que la Russie de Vladimir Poutine n’est pas celle de Boris Eltsine. Après s’être assuré du soutien chinois, Moscou a tiré deux coups de semonce (…)
