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:

- 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.

    The only diffrence is they are doing it smooth and eloquently in west. But the stick is the same. It's all robbery.
    Your argument is falling into the same trap that the government’s policies are falling into.

    The governments approach is flawed because it is pretending, copying, trying to emulate economically advanced countries that Armenia is not.
    Its compounded by unsustainable structural problems of the society, in the economy .... in some ways it is not surprising since these problems have been
    created by themselves in order to feed their co.ckroach like appetite.

    If the post by Hakob is accurate than in financial terms is not furthering the deterioration of Armenia's economy but rather offering Armenia by far the best deal on gas & weapons as well as a host of ther much needed things.
    Now if you are referring to the Russian takeover of Armenia's economy then I agree. We are in a very bad position. Our govt is walking an unenviable tightrope. On this I'm not sure what to do. However, as stated so many times before, the USA/euro sucker punch is not the answer. Their intentions in are like terminal cancer. Once their in the door there is no getting rid of it. Maybe we gotta chance getting rid of slava down the rode. Our president is walking an incredibly tough tight rope.
    Iran ain't offering any deals at all. Russia has the best financial offer.
    Yes they want us to become their state, county, vessel. And are saying you get home prices. And yes they are thugs. And yes they want to dictate our foreign policy to their liking and our detriment. This is not lost by those who are backing our president.
    It's a hell of a tight rope he's walking. Cancer USA /euro or thug Russia or how bout that wonderful price offered by Iran?
    I & others have stated our case. Which do you pick? Lovely choices aren't they.

    One even may conclude that Russia using its dominant economic position in Armenia is doing all the rest the Turkish coalition can’t do for further deteriorating Armenia's economic situation.

    After the total economic collapse probably Russia will be satisfied with a small part of Armenia to locate its military bases and the rest (as they probably planned with their partners; Turkey and Azeri) will go to ….

    06/12/13


    tert.am - Հայաստանում Իրանի Իսլամական Հանրապետության դեսպան Մուհամադ Ռաիսին այսօր կայացած մամուլի ասուլիսին հայտարարեց, որ Իրանից Հայաստան կանխիկով գազ մատակարարելու մասին դեռ խոսք չկա, իսկ եթե լինի, ապա գինը կախված կլինի պայմանավորվածությունից: Նրա խոսքով՝ դեռ պարզ չէ, որ իրանական գազն ավելի թանկ գնով կվաճառվի Հայաստանին, քան ռուսականը։
    "Մենք Հայաստանի հետ ունենք շատ լավ հարաբերություններ, մի քանի տարի է` գործում է "Գազ` էլեկտրաէներգիայի դիմաց" պայմանագիրը: Իրանի էներգետիկայի նախկին նախարարը Հայաստանի էներգետիկայի նախարարին ասել է, որ տարիներ առաջ ձեռք բերած համաձայնությանը մենք հավատարիմ ենք, թեև գների փոփոխություն է եղել, բայց Իրանը հավատարիմ է իր պայմանավորվածությունը",- ասաց դեսպանը:
    Հարցին, թե, այնուամենայնիվ, եթե Իրանը Հայաստանին գազ մատակարարի գումարով, ապա որքա՞ն կարժենա այդ գազը, նա պատասխանեց, որ օրինակ՝ Թուրքիային և այլ երկրներին Իրանը գազը վաճառում է գործող միջազգային գներով, սակայն որոշ բարեկամ երկրների համար հնարավոր է զեղչեր լինեն:
    "Դեռ պարզ չէ, որ այդ գինն ավելի թանկ կլինի Ռուսաստանի գազից: Պետք է նստել և քննարկել",- ասաց նա՝ հավելելով, որ եթե իրենք ամբողջությամբ կարողանան բավարարել Հայաստանի գազի սպառումը, անհրաժեշտ կլինի նոր ենթակառուցվածքներ ստեղծել:

    Իսկ "ՀայՌուսգազարդի" Հայաստանի մասնաբաժինը վաճառելու մասին դեսպանը նշեց, որ Հայաստանն անկախ երկիր է, ինքն է որոշում, թե իր գազամուղն ում վաճառի:

    Անդրադառնալով Մաքսային միությանը Իրանի դիրքորոշմանը՝ դեսպանն ասաց, որ դեռևս ամբողջովին ներկայացված չէ, թե դա իրենից ինչ է ներկայացնում Մաքսային միությունը, և երբ իրենք դրա մասին տեղեկություններ ունենան, կուսումնասիրեն այն:

"Մենք լավ հարաբերություններ ունենք Ռուսաստանի հետ, կրկնակի երախտապարտ ենք ՀՀ կառավարությանը: Իրանը, հաշվի առնելով սերտ հարաբերությունները, որ ունի Հայաստանի հետ, մշտապես ցանկանում է, որ Հայաստանը առաջընթաց ունենա, Հայաստանի կայունությունն ու անվտանգությունը նաև Իրանի անվտանգությունն է, Իրանը Հայաստանի և Ռուսաստանի միջև սեպ խրելու կարիք չունի":

    They are looking for ways to cream ( cream ???) off the income of a small proportion of the population who could be classified as “better off”.
    The money to be invested in foreign countries.

    The people and the oppositions are right to oppose this stupid idea.

    For a starters the subject was not debated properly in the parliament.

    Contributory pension schemes are ( should be) voluntary and not compulsory.

    Taking money from people’s salary against their will is unconstitutional.

    Private (non governmental) pension plans are a luxury afforded by rich countries
    meaning they supplement an already subsistence state pension and never are the primary pension.

    Contributory pension plans have a horrible history of failure to deliver.

    They depend on the plan manager(s) to perform, traded successfully.
    Most of the plans are tied to the stock markets.
    Stock markets are not wealth generating activity but a zero sum game, same as gambling,
    meaning for every winner there is a looser.
    Therefore by definition the plan cannot guarantee a promised return.

    They also depend when you retire, luck.
    If you are lucky and retire when the markets are buoyant your return will be better than another
    who retires or forced into early retirement coinciding with a bear market.

    There is a huge suspicion and a lack of trust in the government due to its incompetence and corruption.
    These plans will last typically for 30-40 years.
    Try and tell me who will be held responsible if pension returns are inadequate.

    Tehran ready to boost gas supplies to Armenia, envoy says

    December 4, 2013 - 18:27 AMT
    PanARMENIAN.Net - Tehran is ready to significantly increase the current modest volume of its natural gas supplies to neighboring Armenia, the Iranian envoy said, according to RFE/FL Armenian service.
    “Iran can meet Armenia’s gas demand yet that depends on a deal between the two countries,” Mohammad Raiesi told a news conference on Tuesday, December 4. “It also requires relevant infrastructures. So the outcome depends on the Armenian authorities.”
    Armenia began importing Iranian gas following the completion in late 2008 of a pipeline connecting the two countries. According to Armenian government data, Iranian gas deliveries totaled roughly 500 million cubic meters last year, compared with almost 2 billion cubic meters supplied by Russia’s Gazprom. The Iranian gas is mainly used for generating electricity exported to the Islamic Republic.
    Some critics of the Armenian government have accused it of deliberately failing to use the pipeline to ease Armenia’s heavy dependence on Russian energy resources. They say that greater gas imports from Iran would have strengthened Yerevan’s hand in its dealings with Moscow.
    Energy Minister Armen Movsisyan repeatedly said earlier this year that the import volumes remain modest because the Iranian gas price is higher than the one set by Gazprom. Raiesi, publicly denied these claims in June, however.
    The Iranian ambassador declined to specify the exact gas tariff for Armenia, noting that Iran exports gas at international market prices.
    A rise in Iranian gas supplies became even more unlikely after the government sold its remaining 20 percent share in Armenia’s gas distribution network to Gazprom on Monday. The $155 million deal was formalized in Yerevan during Russian President Vladimir Putin’s official visit.
    Raiesi insisted that the deal will not hamper further development of Armenian-Iranian energy cooperation. He said it does not run counter to close ties between the Armenian and Russian energy sectors.
    Movsisyan and Iranian Energy Minister Hamid Chitchian met twice, in Tehran and Yerevan, last month in the space of two weeks. Official Iranian and Armenian
    sources reported few details of their talks.


    Here is another article from www.enerjienergy.com. This article is published in 2012. In 2013 prices actually rose even higher.

    Ill give only the part that concerns us.

    Turkey currently buys a cubic meter of Azeri gas for $330 and pays Russia $400 for the same amount. However, Iran sells its gas to Turkey for $505 for each cubic meter, which increases Turkey’s natural gas bill by an extra $800 million annually. The price of a cubic meter of natural gas is sold for $400 in international markets.

    Turkey wants Iran to bring the price down to international levels. A similar situation arose between Turkey and Russia in the past; however, it ended when Turkey traded an agreement allowing the Russian South Stream pipeline to pass through Turkish territorial waters for a price discount. As a result, the price Turkey pays to Russia was reduced to $400.


    Now here is Armenian offial's inteview


    Energy Minister: Armenia will save $800 million on Russian gas in 5 years



    December 04, 2013 | 18:18
    YEREVAN. – Armenia will save $800 million at the expense the elimination of export duties on Russian gas during the next five years, Energy Minister Armen Movsisyan said.

    “Gazprom has repeatedly stated that the Russian gas price should be increased, including for Armenia. In 2011, we managed to negotiate with the Russian side for Armenia to continue getting gas for $180 per thousand cubic meters before the talks are over,” Movsisyan said in response to opposition MP Aram Manukyan.

    As a result of the state visit to Armenia by Russian President Vladimir Putin, the sides agreed on the formation of gas price for five years as well as management of the accumulated debts. Since 2011, the price difference between the old 180 dollars and the actual price, which Armenia had to pay, reached $300 million.

    “According to our arrangement, we will pay half of the debt, and another half will be paid by Russia,” the Minister added.

    According to him, in total from 2011 to 2018, the financial burden on the Russian side at the expense of discounts and canceled fees will make about $1.1 billion.

    “We decided to pay $155 million out of this amounti n the form of 20 percent of ArmRusGasprom shares,” he concluded.

    Gazprom owned 80% of ArmRusGasprom shares, while the rest twenty belonged to the Armenian government. As a result of Putin’s visit, an agreement was reached to transfer 20% to Gazprom.



    So Naira Hayrumian writes this article, calling it "Iran's Slap On The Face Of Armenia", lies about Iran's offer as "it could be cheaper than Russia's, then goe into usual Armenia bashing and wrongfull information in order to fool us.
    From this articles and any information you guys can check shows that Iran sells it's natural gas no less than $500 for 1000 QM. India had problems with Iran too about the price and Iran refused to lower it.
    So what makes this idiots to come up with this marazm, you figure.
    If Iran was ready, why didn't sell gas lower than $189 before?
    Russia is going to sell gas to us much cheaper than Azerbaijan to brother turkey. What else we want? Should our citizens freeze like in 92-94 for us to think straight? Apparently this does not seat well for some cyrcles.

    I will follow about Previos article about that wh ore, Naira.

    I think that the accession of Armenia, in particular, will help to advance the search for a constructive solution to the Karabakh issue, which I can see only provided that all refugees can return to Nagorno-Karabakh, to Azerbaijan. By the way, I recall that at least 400,000 Azerbaijanis also fled Armenia. At least, the return of Azerbaijanis to Nagorno-Karabakh and then a referendum, perhaps on the independence of Nagorno-Karabakh, which will consist of at least two peoples. There are, however, also Russians - three peoples will be its foundation. The formation of a Caucasian "Switzerland," I do not see why not. When France and Germany fought against each other on the territory of Switzerland, French-speaking Swiss, German-speaking Swiss and Italian-speaking Swiss established mechanisms of democratic governance. The structure of Nagorno-Karabakh is also Canton-like. There were regions dominated by the Azerbaijanis, there were regions dominated by the Armenians. Without the return of all the people who would like to go back there, we cannot talk about any recognition of Nagorno-Karabakh or discussions of this issue, in my opinion. However, postponing it, undoubtedly increases the risk of military conflict.

    Dodi gago is of Armenian decent also. I think it's fare to say Putins wife doesn't make any decisions in the Russian govt.
    The 400,000 turks that are fraudulently called azerbaboonies that are mentioned as coming from Armenia is ludicrous .
    This is obviously the work of a politicle hack.
    I'm glad you found it good to know. Actually I ain't buying that either.

    Իրանական գազը Հայաստանին կարող է ավելի էժան էլ վաճառվել, քան ռուսականը. քննարկման խնդիր է
    06/12/13

    tert.am - Հայաստանում Իրանի Իսլամական Հանրապետության դեսպան Մուհամադ Ռաիսին այսօր կայացած մամուլի ասուլիսին հայտարարեց, որ Իրանից Հայաստան կանխիկով գազ մատակարարելու մասին դեռ խոսք չկա, իսկ եթե լինի, ապա գինը կախված կլինի պայմանավորվածությունից: Նրա խոսքով՝ դեռ պարզ չէ, որ իրանական գազն ավելի թանկ գնով կվաճառվի Հայաստանին, քան ռուսականը։
    "Մենք Հայաստանի հետ ունենք շատ լավ հարաբերություններ, մի քանի տարի է` գործում է "Գազ` էլեկտրաէներգիայի դիմաց" պայմանագիրը: Իրանի էներգետիկայի նախկին նախարարը Հայաստանի էներգետիկայի նախարարին ասել է, որ տարիներ առաջ ձեռք բերած համաձայնությանը մենք հավատարիմ ենք, թեև գների փոփոխություն է եղել, բայց Իրանը հավատարիմ է իր պայմանավորվածությունը",- ասաց դեսպանը:
    Հարցին, թե, այնուամենայնիվ, եթե Իրանը Հայաստանին գազ մատակարարի գումարով, ապա որքա՞ն կարժենա այդ գազը, նա պատասխանեց, որ օրինակ՝ Թուրքիային և այլ երկրներին Իրանը գազը վաճառում է գործող միջազգային գներով, սակայն որոշ բարեկամ երկրների համար հնարավոր է զեղչեր լինեն:
    "Դեռ պարզ չէ, որ այդ գինն ավելի թանկ կլինի Ռուսաստանի գազից: Պետք է նստել և քննարկել",- ասաց նա՝ հավելելով, որ եթե իրենք ամբողջությամբ կարողանան բավարարել Հայաստանի գազի սպառումը, անհրաժեշտ կլինի նոր ենթակառուցվածքներ ստեղծել:

    Իսկ "ՀայՌուսգազարդի" Հայաստանի մասնաբաժինը վաճառելու մասին դեսպանը նշեց, որ Հայաստանն անկախ երկիր է, ինքն է որոշում, թե իր գազամուղն ում վաճառի:

    Անդրադառնալով Մաքսային միությանը Իրանի դիրքորոշմանը՝ դեսպանն ասաց, որ դեռևս ամբողջովին ներկայացված չէ, թե դա իրենից ինչ է ներկայացնում Մաքսային միությունը, և երբ իրենք դրա մասին տեղեկություններ ունենան, կուսումնասիրեն այն:

    Ինչ վերաբերում է ՄՄ-ին անդամակցելուց հետո հայ-իրանական հարաբերություններին, նա ընդգծեց. "Մենք լավ հարաբերություններ ունենք Ռուսաստանի հետ, կրկնակի երախտապարտ ենք ՀՀ կառավարությանը: Իրանը, հաշվի առնելով սերտ հարաբերությունները, որ ունի Հայաստանի հետ, մշտապես ցանկանում է, որ Հայաստանը առաջընթաց ունենա, Հայաստանի կայունությունն ու անվտանգությունը նաև Իրանի անվտանգությունն է, Իրանը Հայաստանի և Ռուսաստանի միջև սեպ խրելու կարիք չունի":

    So now Putinist Russians are also political hacks like their Western counterparts. Good to know.
