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.

    Thats what I was thinking as well. I was talking to my uncle about this and according to him, armenia (and artsakh) have never officially stated how many tanks and apcs they have. So it is possible that our tank force is much larger than azeris.

      Azerbaijan Holds Army Drill, Risking Escalation With Armenia


      Azerbaijan told hospitals to be ready for war and started what it called “intense” military exercises, raising the risk of an escalation in its conflict with Russian ally Armenia over the breakaway region of Nagorno-Karabakh.

      All medical institutions and personnel received “specific instructions” from the Azeri Defense Ministry to “take the necessary measures to prepare for possible military action that can take place at any moment,” the ministry in the capital, Baku, said on its website on Thursday. The Defense Ministry said earlier in the day that its armed forces began drills involving tanks, armored infantry carriers and aircraft.

      The conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh, frozen since a cease-fire 21 years ago, periodically threatens to spark a war on Russia’s southern periphery. Armenians took over the region and surrounding territory from Azerbaijan, which has repeatedly warned it will use force to regain it. Dozens of deaths have been reported this year in clashes on the front line.

      An escalation would pose risks to the energy infrastructure around Azerbaijan. The Caspian Sea nation is the third-biggest oil producer in the former Soviet Union, and also provides the only westward route for central Asian crude that bypasses Russia.

      The State Department is aware of the Azeri military measures and is watching the situation closely, spokesman John Kirby said in Washington on Thursday.

        You are not trolling.....lol all the way against Azerbaijani forces. Imagine the look on their faces while they conduct their exercises out of nowhere two armed Armenian SU-25 pope up paralleling the contact line 1/2 kilometer inside our zone and disappear.
        then repeat and repeat. The world is watching closely, if they attack our SU-25s we have every right to remove the danger. We have every right to patrol our airspace and not stop because it will upset the baboons. Why they do excercise so close to the contact line, let them go inland and play with their toys and end up giving casualty while using them.

          It seems Vardenis-Martakert is not the only strategic road that is being expanded right now in Artsakh. Another group (not ArmeniaFund) is expanding the road between Berdzor (Lachin) and Ishkhanadzor (Khanliq) in southern Kashatagh. First 10 km from Berdzor to Aghanus already completed. Work will be done by October. Our military is going to gain a lot of extra mobility by 2016.

            There was actually talk about constructing a Kapan-Kovsakan highway to put the final road in place connecting Armenia to Southern Karabakh. The route would be shorter and pass through Armenia Proper before entering Karabakh. I'm not sure about the advantages or disadvantages of each route...but the more roads the better I guess...

              Why risk it? Let them think were not capable. Let them think how badass they are. When the fighting starts and they realize its not going to go to as they planned, the shock factor is 10 times more effective then seeing and hearing our su-25 fly near the line. Those birds are a strategic asset second only to our scuds and S-300's. Why risk something that important, just to play mind games.

              The world is watching? What are you expecting the world to do? Are they going to see a shoot down as justification for large scale Armenian attack. If this war happens, western media will do all it can to make it look like some sort of Russian proxy war making us look like the enemy.
              What happened in South Ossetia? Georgia invaded, began shelling Tskhinvali and how is that war portrayed in Western media? A Russian invasion.. Your trust in the "world's" unbiased judgment seems a little over estimated.

                  If any Armenian Leader think that CSTO will help Armenia in case of war, they are putting our country in a big danger.
                  Because the CSTO is decoration nothing else, but only Russian version of NATO.

                  By the way NATO is even more decoration!



                  But Let's Review the CSTO: Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,Tajikistan and including our country Armenia.

                  1. Russia playing a big monopoly with turks and going to continue....................


                  2. Belarus is friendly like Russia, but Belarus cares more about azeri նավթա դոլարներ ......................


                  3. Kyrgyzstan,Tajikistan are Muslim countries in case of war, Muslims will help their brother azerbotan.................



                  Finlay if you want strong nation forget about help! Armenian people are only help.

                    Politics is not about the pursuit of morality nor what's right or wrong
                    Its about self interest at personal and national level often at odds with the above.
                    Great politicians pursue the National interest and small politicians personal interests

                      That's a good idea, southern Artsakh is often neglected and isolated from other projects so military value aside, this can help put more focus to develop those areas.

                      The more ways we can enter NKR the better since it secures lifeline support from Armenia. We can remember how bad the situation was before we secured Lachin during the war. If Martakert-Vardenis highway is cut and somehow Lachin pass is too, a third one in the south far from Azeri grips would come in handy.
