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.

    Here comes our answer. Armenian official: Key to settlement of Karabakh conflict is in NKR




    May 08, 2014 | 15:12
    YEREVAN. – Armenian Deputy Speaker said the key to settlement of Karabakh conflict is neither in Washington, nor in Moscow, but in Karabakh.

    Any conflict, including Karabakh, should be solved through talks, Eduard Sharmazanov said during a meeting with students.

    “In several days we will mark the 20th anniversary of ceasefire, and the Armenian side, on behalf of Armenia and the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic, proved to support peaceful settlement of the conflict. We appreciate the efforts of the OSCE Minsk Group, but we must realize that even theoretical aspiration for military solution must be eliminated. While Armenian side continues to support peaceful settlement, Azerbaijan turned Armeniaphobia into ideology,” Sharmazanov said.

    Vice Speaker also noted that the most imortant condition for the solution of the Karabakh issue is parties' willingness to make concessions, meanwhile, after the extradition of Ramil Safarov militaristic rhetoric of the official Baku has become contrary to the three principles of the OSCE Minsk Group - non-use of force, territorial integrity and the right of peoples to self-determination.

    “Azerbaijanis are guided only by the principle of territorial integrity. However, for the settlement of the conflict, the Nagorno -Karabakh Republic should become a full participant in the negotiations. It is impossible to reach a final positive outcome without this. And definite is one thing: NKR can not be a part of Azerbaijan”.

      NKR Foreign Ministry: NKR independence and security are absolute values




      May 08, 2014 | 12:08
      STEPANAKERT. – The Nagorno-Karabakh Foreign Ministry issued a statement in connection with the latest speech of OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair James Warlick.

      "We consider it necessary to note that the position of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic on the prospects of settlement of the Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict remains unchanged.

      Any return to the past is out of question. The fate of Nagorno Karabakh has been determined by its people through a free and legitimate expression of will in the 1991 referendum on independence. NKR independence and security are absolute values that are not subject to any bargaining.

      We believe that the joint efforts of the OSCE Minsk Group should focus on the development of such settlement mechanisms that stem from current realities and provide conditions for the peaceful coexistence of two independent states - the Nagorno Karabakh Republic and Azerbaijan – emerged as a result of the collapse of the USSR and the war unleashed by Azerbaijan".

        The role and the brief of the OSCE Minsk Group is mediation. Not running around and shouting Eureka Eureka I have found a solution.

        The solution should come about through negotiations between Azerbaijan and Armenia/Karabagh and with their mediation.

        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.

          He was not talking on behalf of the Minsk group-he was stating U.S. policy based on U.S. interests (U.S. interest is hard to define anymore because it has been taken over by special interest).

            And the special interests of those special interest groups rarely contain anything positive for long-term US interests.

              Understood, but he still compromises his job and title, MEDIATOR.

              I would say his position is untenable and he should resign.

                  What about the government that he represents, that is up to no good, that has just advertised a policy that could restart the war? That is supposed to work for peace instead? Can US be a mediator? Russia too for change? Can both, that are facing in their biggest confrontation since Cold War be mediators? Are we going to hand over our security to others again and expect good? Haven't we learned yet? It is abvious we have to handle Artsakh conflict our selfs. And since our adversary is trumpeting war, we have no choice. Russia is just means to arm ourselfs. But nobody will give us security and justice but us. If we cannot guarantee our security, then we should not expect any good from any mediation.
