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.

    3. We are landlocked
    3. We have 2 neighbors many times our strength who want to wipe us off the map


    Please explain how any of these facts are 'exaggerated'





    All countries have problems. Georgia's and Azerbaijan's problems are due to their own stupidity (becoming hostile towards Russia, not knowing how to deal with domestic problems, etc). Armenia's problems are different because most of them have to do with our history and current geography, not the stupidity of our leaders. I'm not saying our leaders are geniuses, but its clear that most of our problems existed before our leaders were elected.





    At the current pace, Georgia will not survive. They just lost 1/4 of their country to Russians, and they have major domestic problems. They are only staying alive because they rely heavily on Turkey & Azerbaijan (is this what you want for Armenia?).

    Azerbaijan has a little more leverage than Georgia and Armenia because they have OIL. You keep comparing Armenia to Azerbaijan & Turkmenistan but you don't realize they have nothing in common. When it comes to Azerbaijan and Turkmenistan, anyone can see:

    1. Both countries have lots of natural resources (oil).
    2. Both countries have wide open borders.
    3. Both countries have access to the sea.
    4. Neither country has active military threats from larger countries.

    Basically, they have NONE of the major problems Armenia has. If you want to compare Armenia to any other entity, you can compare them to the Gaza Strip. They have exactly the same problems we do. I can safely say we are many years ahead of the Gaza Strip.
    I will be laconic: BULLxxxx

    P.S- Gaza Strip has access to sea
    P.S.P.S- Georgia does not have oil.
    P.S.P.S.P.S- Is Russia a larger country?
    P.S.P.S.P.S:P.S. Level of coruption in Georgia that "will not survive" are much lower than in Armenia. It is concidered much more free and liberal country (for trade).

          ArmSurvival is right. Gaza Strip is supposed to have access to the sea but it does not. Israel has a naval blockade on the Gaza Strip.

            Gaza -Strip has access to sea-Gaza Strip is not landlocked country. Israely blockad is another issue.

              What's the point of having a sea when you cannot use it? In the case of Gaza Strip, having a sea is actually bad for them since it gives Israel another way to blockade the country.

                I only see that you do not know the difference between Turkmenistan and Kyrgzstan.
                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.

                  Vafa Guluzade: Armenian troops would reach Kura River in 1994
                  March 21, 2011 - 16:27 AMT 12:27 GMT
                  PanARMENIAN.Net - Former advisor to Azerbaijani president Heydar Aliyev Vafa Guluzade said that the Armenian troops would have occupied major part of Azerbaijan in 1994, if it were not for the West’s support of Baku.

                  Guluzade said in an article published by Yeni Musavat paper and placed on Caucasus-Online website that the oil factor was the decisive one in the 1994 agreement on ceasefire in Karabakh. Otherwise, the Armenian troops would have reached Kura River and Kurdamir in the central part of Azerbaijan, what would have jeopardized Azerbaijan’s existence as a state. “Only the interest of the U.S. towards Azerbaijan prevented implementation of these plans,” said Guluzade.

                  He believes that energy resources and transit opportunities of Azerbaijan have secured the West’s interest towards the country, what has protected the country’s independence.

                  “Azerbaijan’s independence would have been formal, if it were not for the American interests. Right the oil factor has secured Azerbaijan’s importance for the western states. Oil, gas and transit potential of Azerbaijan increase its role for the West and allow withstanding Russia,” Guluzade said, adding that greater integration with the West would only strengthen Baku’s international positions.

                      Israely blockade is not a geographical asset. It will end eventually... or Gaza Strip will end... both ways OK by me
