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.

    Village of Artsvashen (Eagle's Nest) part of RA with its adjoining area. Before the 1930s it was actually connected to Armenia and was only made an enclave (like Artsakh) as Armenian land was transferred to Azerbaijan (see the Soviet administrative map of Armenian SSR from the late 1920s). 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.
    So to this day who controls it?

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

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

            Oh, damn, what were the roadblocks that affected our soldiers
            to not liberate Artsvashen.

              Armenia proper (as opposed to Artsakh) would need to cross into Azerbaijan since Artsvashen is an exclave and this would have led to disastrous consequences as Turkey could have possibly gotten its pretext to invade Armenia. Remember that on paper, it was Artsakh's Armenian population from within the former Azerbaijan SSR that fought the war of liberation and not Armenia.

                Well, it may have been that especially prior to 1993, but I think it also seemed practical to do a swap, they can keep that enclave and we will keep the azeri enclave inside Armenia. It was a fair trade IMHO, considering the other options.
                For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
                to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

                  For the moment, yes. But Artsvashen is just a tiny piece of what was once known as Northern Artsakh. If the Azeris attack again, our borders should expand northward.

                    Yes, of course. But Northern Artsakh hasn't had an Armenian majority for some time now, so it would have been difficult to retake it and to hold on to it. It is better to have strong control of a little land rather than a little control over larger land, especially in the hostile situation Armenia finds itself in.

                    I expect that the 'buffer areas' would expand eastward and northward in case war resumes.

                    • Northern Artsakh? Whats next? South? East? West? Or Outer? LOL

                      Imaginary stuff.

                      That region you talk about are the most pure Turkic blooded part of Azerbaijan. I m from there myself, the Tovuz rayon.

                      BTW, talking about your Artshaven (wich has been renamed to Başkənd), what about the 2 Azeri exclaves in northern Armenia?
