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.

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

    Azerbaijan, Turkey and Georgia have agreed to jointly ensure security at oil and gas pipelines, Turkish Defense Minister Ismet Yilmaz said Sunday.


    BAKU (Sputnik) – The three countries share the South Caucasus Pipeline known as the Shah Deniz commissioned in 2006 with the annual capacity of transporting 25 billion cubic meters of gas.

    "The ministers of the three countries discussed the issue of oil and gas pipeline security and have agreed in this regard," Yilmaz said in the northern Azerbaijani city of Qebele.

    He spoke at the fourth trilateral defense ministerial meeting at the invitation of Azerbaijan’s Defense Minister Zakir Hasanov, who said earlier the three countries had agreed to hold joint military drills.
    Plans are underway to connect the Shah Deniz with Europe as part of the Trans-Anatolian Natural Gas Pipeline (TANAP), expected to be built before 2019.

      what is this talk of 7 million square meters of land lost on the northeastern section of artsakh? is this just provocations or is there any truth to it?
      That talk of 7 million square meters is simply inaccurate. It is the political opposition using the figure for their own political motives. Even if it is true (which again it isn't), 7 million square meters is 7 square kilometers. NKR is 11,458 square kilometers. Losing 7 square kilometers is barely 0.0006% of the total territory of Artsakh. Assuming this is true, and considering that they pulled off a surprise attack using drones, rocket systems, artillery, tanks, helicopters, and a large chunk of their special forces, losing only 7 square kilometers is not a failure on our end.

      With this said, Armenian MOD spokesman already addressed the issue. This is not the first time in 24 years that the borders have changed. Sometimes we've gained and other times we've even given up a few acres to improve our positions. The MOD spokesman explained that the borders are not static, they are dynamic. They set up a new position or carry out engineering work to add new trenches we reposition and vice versa. It's like a chess game where we are constantly fortifying our positions, building new positions, abandoning some posts which aren't of benefits anymore, repositioning etc. I hope this helps answer your question.

        Russia will not like this. Don't be surprised if a large war breaks out and Armenia targets the pipelines.

                What is important is the fact that much heralded Azery offencive on which they prepared for over 10 years and billions of dollars was defeated by our military. Nobody, even Azeris do not dispute this.
                But instead, they try to whitewash by some puny positions that they got. We agreed and stopped the 4 day war for good reasons(prevention of loss of life for one thing). But militarily the results were hugely positive for us. The break up of Azery special forces (Baku saw that continuing and involving general, less qualified military would amount to falling into meat grinder, after what our just 18 years olds showed), our publics reaction in volunteering, our military discipline and effectiveness amounted to pure victory, nothing else.
                Let's face it. Before April 5 everyone worried that Azeris would start war that could lead to deafeat for us.
                Now? Can anyone doubt that Armenians will not let it happen?
                This is a moral victory that's priceless.
                Some military observers, even foreigners compare this fight with 1991-94 and think that military equilibrium favors Armenia more than then.
                Now problem is that some circles are fishing in dark waters and watering Azery propaganda. Taking our attention and efforts to some irrelevant issues.
                Some are doing it for abvious money reasons.
                Take that guy that heads our IT for example. He talks as if his team knew about kamikadze drones and had a clear fix, which MOD rejected.
                Bottom line is, we should move on with important stuff.
                It's been over month and half and some circles want us to doubt and mire in some coverup or "critical failure".
                If Azeris had any tangible results, we would still be fighting since April 5.

                    Why is our MOD suddenly having a food orgy demonstration.

                    Could it be a distraction from recent events or a show of its non corrupt nature. Naj naj wink wink !!

                    As a contrast the sultan was showing off boxes of his ammo.

                    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

                      7 square km's would equall 49 million square metters. 7 million square meters averages out to 2.65 square kilometers. That seems in line with what the Deffense Ministry has been saying. The only issue is that most of the territory lost was heavily engineered front line. As long as we fortify our new position, which we are, their gains are insignificant.
