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.

    No, there are no Armenians in Artsvashen. And if there are, they might all be Azerified.

    Azerbaijan does. Check the map I posted, it is described as occupied territory of the RoA by Azerbaijan. They have renamed it to Bashkand .

Surrounded by Azeris and OMON forces, Artsvashen fell in late 1991 as the last battalion of Armenian freedom fighters there made sure all Armenian civilians were evacuated and fought to the last man.

    According to the map below (from semi-official source) Artsakh is divided into 9 regions (with Stepanakert, as the capital of Artsakh Republic, forming a separate administrative unit with a status of a region) and Karvachar separate from Shahumian region bringing it to total of 9 regions. The regional centers are underlined. I do believe the map is made sometime in 2007 or perhaps even 2008 so it would make it the most recent in relative terms, if the division (with respect to Karvachar and Shahumian being separate) are indeed so as of late 2009.

    Stepanakert as a capital, just like Yerevan, has (or at least had as of 2006) a special administrative status and is (or perhaps was) counted as a separate political unit. I am not sure if this has been changed. Also it seems Karvachar (according to this division with Karvachar separate from Shahumian makes it 9 administrative divisions - however - for sake of accuracy we must confirm if Karvachar has certainly been made separate from (now Azeri occupied) northeastern parts of Shahumian (if still merged with Karvachar) and Stepanakert has been merged with Askeran region.


    Provinces of Artsakh Republic: 1. Shahumyan; 2. Mardakert; 3. Askeran; 4. Martuni; 5. Hadrut; 6. Shushi; 7. Qashatagh. 8. Stepanakert.

    Province Population (2006) Area (km2.)
    Stepanakert 50,400 25.66
    Askeran 17,000 1221.92
    Hadrut 12,400 1876.80
    Mardakert 18,900 1795.10
    Martuni 23,100 951.20
    Shahumyan 2,800 1829.80
    Shushi 4,500 381.30
    Qashatagh 8,600 3376.60
