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.

    The problem is not the 9km border but the agreements that Russia and Turkey have regarding Naxichevan. It will be easier to capture Baku than it will be to capture Nakhijevan. Attacking Nakhijevan will unleash WWIII, because Turkey and Russia will both come into play from day one and both will bring their allies to the party.

      There is an agreement unfortunately between Russia and Turkey regarding Nakhijevan which enables Turkey to have some oversite over the region. If I recall, there was some fighting in Nakhijevan in 1991 through early 1992 and I believe Armenian forces took some strategic hills- they may hold these still. This was after Azeri forces were shelling areas of Syunik, the Armenians countered. The Turks threatened to invade Armenia and both Russia and Turkey urged Ter-Petrossian to prevent further incursions. LTP complied at the behest of the Russians. Also, Aliyev Sr. was the head of the Nakhijevan Oblast at the time and brokered his own deal with LTP to stop any violence from his side if the Armenians would agree to a ceasefire. It more or less remained in effect during the war.

              Agreed, NATOs biggest nightmare is engaging Russia.

              Personally, I do not believe that Turkey woudl risk conflict with Russia over the liberation of Nackchivan. Given the small amount of money and infrastructure development that the Aliyev administration has given that region, I doubt that even Azerbaijan cares about it that much (except to the extent that they do not want Armenia to have it). If that kind of attitude prevails, than the scenario will be exactly the same as it was 20 years ago in case of conflit: Armenian perseverence and willpower will triumph over Azeri apathy.

                  You're right of course, but I think we would both agree it would be better if Turkey did not get involved.

                    Not unless Russia attacked Turkey. Turkey and Russia have a huge trade turnover and lukewarm political relations. Russia has also been able to out-manuever Turkey politically and muddy their relations with NATO so chances are Russia would be pissed if the Armenian side attacked Nakhijevan. Despite the fact that Iran and Azerbaijan have bad relations, Iran would not be to thrilled either.

                    I'm all for Armenia getting its land back but any more efforts toward this will be a disaster. For the most part Artsakh is now increasingly considered de facto part of Armenia and I believe will be considered part of Armenia formally at some point and should the Azeris attack and Armenians take more land in a counterattack it will probably not be frowned upon by the civilized world. However, going on any type of offensive (such as taking Nakhijevan) on the other hand will have negative results for Armenia.

                      Also not to forget that unlike Artsakh and Javakhk, Nakhichevan's Armenian population is 0. We won't have a local resistance that would make it militarily easier and politically more acceptable to hold the territory.
