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.

  • Democratic Armenia?

    According to Armenia's constitution, only those born in Armenia SSR could become the president.

    How come, Robert Kocharyan, born in Azerbaijan SSR could become the president of Armenia? And now Sargsyan.

    What does democracy have to do with your question? And where did you come up with this alleged rule? Here is what the Armenian Constitution says on who can become President of Armenia.

    Chapter 3

    Article 50. The President of the Republic shall be elected by the citizens of the Republic of Armenia for a five year term of office. Every person having attained the age of thirty five, having been a citizen of the Republic of Armenia for the preceding ten years, having permanently resided in the Republic for the preceding ten years, and having the right to vote is eligible for the Presidency. The same person may not be elected for the post of the President of the Republic for more than two consecutive terms.

      Wait a bit, Kocharyan did not met the requirements, since it should be at least 10 years, we are talking about 1999 here.

      What this has to do with democracy? That Armenia is ruled by diaspora, outsiders.

        Lol, really? Is that why many in the Diaspora are against the protocols with turkey yet Armenia signed it?

        Focus on azerbaijan, your banana republic is a prime example of a dictatorship, it is the embodiment of 'absurdistan'.
        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.

          Not only is Artsakh not considered "diaspora" or "outsiders" but Kocharian was fully eligible. He was in Artsakh/Armenia for the last 10 years prior to his presidency and even lived in Yerevan during the 70s/80s where he graduated from the Polytechnic school.

            By this logic, Heydar Aliev should have not been the president of Azerbaijan as well, since he was actually born in the Republic of Armenia's Syunik Province (and not Nakhichevan as is falsely claimed). Even his son and successor Ilham Aliev admitted it during the Turkic speaking conference that took place few weeks ago in Nakhichevan.

              "Syunik" (Zengezur) is Azeri land and it should be our next liberation point after liberating Karabakh. Then "Tavush" (Goycha).

              But no, Aliyev were born in Nakhchivan and that what also said on his pass. But Zengezur is Azeri land anyway, so lets say so.

              However, it was saying on Kocharyans pass: Stepanakert, Azerbaijan SSR.

                Haha, good one. Here is a Greco-Roman map of Greater Armenia dating to antiquity. I am sure you can find Zangezur (proper spelling for your distorted pronunciation) which is actually Syunik Province of Greater Armenia. Where were your Altaic ancestors?



                But no, Aliyev were born in Nakhchivan and that what also said on his pass. But Zengezur is Azeri land anyway, so lets say so.
                That is how they write it in "official" biography because they do not want to admit that he was actually born in Armenia. Let me reverse what you said and tell you the truth, look at the map above, even if he was born in Nakhichevan (learn the proper spelling of this native Armenian land) that is still Armenia.

                However, it was saying on Kocharyans pass: Stepanakert, Azerbaijan SSR.
                He has lived for many years in the Armenian Republic and from 1989 to 1999 (when NK seceded from Azerbaijan) that also makes 10 years, so he is completely within the constitutional law.

                  And how that makes him the citizen of Armenia? He lived in SSR.

                    By this logic Aliev also should not have become the president of Azerbaijan since he was also a citizen of the USSR before that.
