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.

    Seriousely, if you copare the economic losses for both of us, azeri losses (targets) could be huge. Our's is mainly the NPP, which can be shut down in a matter of hours and controlling or minimizing the danger.
    Azerbaijan, minhwile will come to the same mentality as saudis or quveitis. Trembling over the thought of anybody destroying their oil rigs.
    But even with 1/10 with its money , Azeris will still have more than Armenia has .

          I know, you are totally right but what I meant is that they spent 4billion dollars anually , and even if they reduce it to 1/10 it will be 400 million dollars anually , just like us.

                Armenia Armed by Russia for battles with Azerbaijan

                Scandal compared to Iran-Contra


                By: Martin Sieff
                The WASHINGTON TIMES

                Russia secretly has shipped more than $1 billion worth of arms to Armenia,
                apparently to be used against - pro-Western Azerbaijan and - to force the
                Azeris -and their strategic oil reserves into Russia's orbit.

                Aman Tuleyev, minister for relations with the Commonwealth of Independent
                States, has acknowledged that Moscow supplied Armenia with 84 T-72 main
                battle tanks, 72 heavy howitzers, 24 Scud missiles with eight launchers,
                50 armored personnel carriers and millions of rounds of ammunition.

                Lev Rokhlin, the chairman of the Defense Committee of the Duma, the lower
                House of the Russian parliament, told a closed Duma session April 2 that
                Moscow had -shipped $1 billion worth of weapons to the tough, nationalist
                government of President Levon Ter-Petrosian in Yerevan. His report was
                similar to Mr. Tuleyev's acknowledgment.

                Between 1992 and early 1994, when the conflict was at its height, Russian
                heavy transport aircraft were said to have ferried 1,300 tons of
                ammunition across the Caucasus to the Armenian capital. Most of the tanks
                were flown in aboard giant Antonov planes from the city of Akhtubinsk.

                The Azeris say Russia also supplied 1,000 hand-fired Strela-2 and Strela-3
                anti-aircraft missiles, which were moved by ship across The Caspian Sea,
                then sent over land through Iran to Armenia. Iran has denied playing any
                role.

                Western intelligence sources said The weapons played a crucial role in
                Armenia's, seizure of large areas of Azerbaijan, which created a million
                refugees, more than from any other conflict in Europe since World War II.
                Although Russia's military support for Armenia in its long conflict with
                Azerbaijan has been well-known, the extent of the arms transfers came as a
                surprise.

                Responding to the revelations, Russian President Boris Yeltsin ordered a
                major government probe Saturday that could implicate his longtime defense
                minister, Marshal Pavel Grachev who was fired last spring.

                Russian military prosecutors are considering calling Marshal Grachev in
                for questioning over the scandal, which has been compared to The
                Iran-Contra affair.

                The- chairman of the Azeri parliament, Murtuz Alesketov, said Saturday the
                arms shipments could destabilize the Caucasus. "If these arms are not
                returned, this could lead to a new large-scale war in the region" he said
                at parliamentary hearings in Baku.

                Since the collapse of the Soviet Union at the end of 1991, Shi'ite Muslim
                Azerbaijan has eagerly courted American oil companies to help it develop
                the immense oil and gas reserves of the Caspian Sea, estimated as second
                in size and value only to those in the Persian Gulf.

                Russia has responded by backing Orthodox Christian Armenia, its historic
                ally.

                On March 29, shortly after Mr. Yeltsin's Helsinki summit with President
                Clinton, the Russian leader finalized a treaty of friendship and strategic
                partnership with Mr. Ter-Petrosian.

                The move came after Mr. - Ter-Petrosian alarmed Azerbaijan by appointing
                The hard-line leader of ethnic Armenian Nagorno-Karabakh, a region of
                Azerbajjan, as prime minister of Armenia, a move widely regarded as paving
                the way for a renewed attack on Azerbaijan.

                There are at least 20,000 Russian 4th Army troops in Armenia concentrated
                around three major bases.

                Ivan Rybkin, head of Russia's Security Council, said after a meeting in
                Moscow with Mr. Ter-Petrosian on March 27 that the new bilateral treaty
                would have a "military component", the Moscow newspaper Nezavisimaya
                Gazeta reported March 28.

                Some Moscow analysts believe that Defense Minister Igor Rodionov and his
                supporters leaked details of the arms deals now to prevent Mr. Yeltsin
                from bringing back Marshal Grachev as chief military inspector at the
                Defense Ministry, the independent Moscow newspaper Segodnya said.
