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.

    4 UN Resolutions for Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict

    I heard that the UN resolutions were only voted by Islamic members. Is this true? If that's the case, can Azerbaijan legitimately use that as an argument?

    Re: 4 UN Resolutions for Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict

    Anything the UN says should be taken as laughable. The UN really has no power whatsoever and is simply a tool to be used by the 5 (really 2) permanent members. Those bogus UN resolutions ask us to pull out of 5 of the 7 so-called "Azeri occupied territories" outside of the former NKAO. It is not an argument, it is just another "de jure" attempt by Azerbaijan that bores the crap out of people.

      No, they can't use them as arguments for they are non-binding resolutions, meaning that they have no legal power or weight, but serve as "moral support".

      Three of the four resolutions were given in 1993-1994 period, before the cease-fire. And the most recent is dating March 2008, where the United Nations General Assembly passed a non-binding resolution by a vote of 39 to 7, with 100 abstentions, claiming for "withdrawal" of the NKR forces out of the liberated territories and NK itself. Such resolution was supported mainly by members of the OIC and GUAM, both of which Azerbaijan is a member, as well as other nations facing breakaway regions, and Islamic states supporting Azerbaijan. The resolution was opposed by all three members of the OSCE Minsk Group. And as Ban Ki-Moon recently stated, the UN has no direct engagement with resolving the NK conflict, which is the duty and right of the OSCE.

      Azerbaijan can't use them as arguments, for they have no legal power. The only reason Azerbaijan says "Armenia doesn't apply the four UN resolutions asking for withdrawal" is because they want to make appear as if Armenia is going against the law, failing to mention those are non-binding resolutions AND THEY HAVE NO LEGAL WEIGHT.

      If your interested, here is the latest non-binding resolution:

        Right, and it's not even the entire OIC that voted for it. Lebanon, Syria, Egypt and Iran if I re-call opted out of it and that's a big chunk right there already.

              Re: 4 UN Resolutions for Nagorno-Karabakh Conflict

              RUSSIAN VERSION FAILED

              The Azerbaijani foreign minister Elmar Mamedyarov stated that the co-chairs of the Minsk group will probably offer new proposals. "The situation is in general the following: the co-chairs are to present to the Armenian side our current proposals. The mediators will further discuss the whole situation and possibly will present new proposals", said the Azerbaijani minister of foreign affairs.

              It is known that Azerbaijan, after the trilateral meeting in Sochi, Armenia-Russia-Azerbaijan, accepted the so-called amended principles of Madrid, stating that Armenia does not issue any stance in this connection. While, Armenia used to state that nothing is amended, there are the principles of Madrid adopted in 2007 and Armenia is still loyal to them.

              The statement by Mamedyarov that the co-chairs are possible to suggest new proposals, seems to mean that the Azerbaijani side somehow softens its positions and accepts the change of the "theme". In other words, Armenia refuses the current version, so a new one is needed. Anyway, Mamedyarov does not seem to reject the possibility of new proposals and does not insist that the present amendments be adopted.

              Logic hints that the new proposals are to contain more acceptable proposals for Armenia, than those made in Sochi. In this sense, it is noteworthy that some American -Azerbaijani warming is noticed the initiator of which is the United States. The United States through some diplomatic pipes, via a visit of the Defense Minister to Azerbaijan and a letter of Obama, used to say pleasant words to Azerbaijan and express its willingness of partnership.

              May it be accidental that against this background Mamedyarov stated that the co-chairs are likely to present new proposals, in fact hinting at the archiving of the "Russian" scenario in Sochi? This may mean that a new page opens in the negotiations of Karabakh through which the continuance of the negotiation will be assured. In other words, time will again be prolonged and the conversations on a possible settlement of the issue are exaggerations.

              But along with this the problem is not in the sphere of exaggerations but wrong perception. The settlement of the NKR issue is factually happening every day - in the Republics of Armenia and Azerbaijan. Everything depends on how much each country strengthens their favorable positions in the Karabakh issue and its necessary resources for an international perception. In this sense, if the privileges of Azerbaijan are energy carriers and its position to the Caspian basin, in case of Armenia, values are modern civil, political, economic and cultural technologies and the fast and sincere modernization of these spheres.

              Here is the settlement of the NKR issue and not in intensifying or decreasing the negotiations. Consequently, the perception is to be changed: Armenia's situation is not determined by a solution of the NKR issue, but on the contrary, the NKR settlement is determined by the quality of the home life of Armenia.

                UN TIRED OF AZERI PROPAGANDA

                PanARMENIAN.Net
                June 7, 2010 - 13:41 AMT 08:41 GMT

                UNICEF's Executive Board held annual meeting on June 1-4 at the UN
                headquarters in New York. Permanent representative of Armenia to UN,
                Ambassador Karen Nazaryan, as well as representative of Azerbaijan
                were invited to participate.

                In his statement, Ambassador Nazaryan emphasized Azeri Ambassador's
                use of inadmissible formulations, accusing the latter of attempt to
                politicize the discussions.

                At subsequent discussions, the Secretariat deprived the Azerbaijani
                Ambassador of the right of reply, which proves that the UN has long
                been tired of Azeri propaganda.

                Meanwhile, Azeri media circulated reports on UN Armenian
                representative's attempt at misinforming the meeting participants,
                with Azeri diplomats "exposing the lie" of Armenian side.
                Hayastan or Bust.
