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.

    Thanks Catharsis. Slowly we need to abolish the Nagorno-Karabakh term altogether and only keep it for historical use.

        Yes indeed Federate we should free ourselves of all signs of foreign subjugation, we liberated the land, but some of us still need to liberate our minds, liberate the place names that for centuries have also been taken captive. By restoring their rightful names we are actually connoting the true origin of the land.

        I am sure through all of our efforts we will see the day when Artsakh is restored as the rightful province of Free, Independent and United Armenia. The morale and overall spirit of the people of Artsakh is actually very high and we should all be proud of that.

          Yes it is very symbolic since every time we use Karabakh (with all its transliteration variants) we are actually giving credence to the false notion that the land is Turkic.

          The ancient name for Stepanakert - Վարարակն - Vararakn should also be put into circulation for perhaps one of the districts of Stepanakert if not restoring the old name altogether.

            Yes, Artsakh (13th province of Greater Armenia) is mentioned in Vanic - Araratian inscriptions as Ardakh. Strabo mentions it in the First Century BC as an Armenian province (Orxistine) that was renowned for its strong cavalry. Khorenatsi - the Fifth Century Father of Armenian History notes that it was ruled by the House of Sisak (closely associated with the neighboring Syunik-Sisakan province), from the bloodline of patriarch Hayk.

            Artsakh along with Utik and Paytakaran provinces of Greater Armenia was also called - Առան - Aran.

                It is a Russian derived word - Нагорный - Nagorniy (or Nagornii) meaning mountainous since when the 'Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast' was created in 1923 there was a Mountainous or Highland Karabakh and also Lowland (or Valley) Karabakh. The 'Lowland Karabakh' included territories that were to the north of NKAO and the word was well in circulation until the 1960s. The Armenians of 'Lowland Karabakh' (towns and villages in the regions all around the city of Gandzak - including Martunashen, Tchragidzor, Shamkor, K'arhat, Shahumyan etc.) were deported between 1988-1991. With some of the fiercest battles taking place for Armenian villages and towns like Getashen, Martunashen and Shahumian in the Shahumian region of Artsakh that to this day is still occupied by Azeri forces along with parts of northeastern Martakert and eastern Martuni regions of the Republic of Artsakh.

                  As accurate as that map is at depicting the ethnographic composition of present day Armenia and the NKR it is somewhat misleading in pretty much all other regions. The below map should be more accurate. Although anyone foolish enough to think that clear and neat lines define ethnic groups should not even bother looking at any of these. These maps only provide a rough picture.

                    Yes, however there have been wide demographic shifts (I believe the above map is based on 1989 demographics - the last population census held in the USSR at the end of every decade) in other conflicting parts of Caucasus such as Abkhazia and South Ossetia.

                      Actually, this is the most accurate of the present situation. Map seems to pre-date last year's Georgian-Ossetian conflict since Georgians were thrown out of South Ossetia.
