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.

    Most likely I would think it would be EU/OSCE sending peacekeepers. I am all for anything that may diffuse the tension at the border and be a deterrent to an Azeri attack.

      Africa has shown what Western peace keepers can do, nothing. It's better not to have a single soldier guarding the border then having Western peace keepers there.

        The only way they could be useful is that Azeris would have to think twice before attacking as there would be established 3rd party witnesses to their aggression. It would also remove snipers, and thus end all the sniper deaths. So as you see, mostly indirect benefits, as directly they are more or less useless.

          We are our own deterrents. Nothing strikes fear into the enemy more than a confident local population bent on defending its borders and survival. Foreign peacekeepers will probably not serve as deterrents if they follow the Rwanda or Lebanon model, they will be there to make sure we enforce any agreement and then sit by idly if a war breaks out, even if they come under attack. Ban Ki Moon will probably go on TV and say we should stop fighting, words nobody will care about. A NATO/Western peacekeeping operation (the worst thing that can happen) would never be accepted by Russia anyway.

            The one thing that will definitely continue to happen with peacekeepers around is sniper fire. It happens on the Israeli-Lebanon border all the time. Azerbaijan will never agree to withdraw snipers.

              Well if Azerbaijan doesn't withdraw snipers than there's no point to this.

                Azeris can do as they please as long as they are really careful that no Westerner dies even with minimal casualties they can do as they please. If they start and win the war no one will care what they have done. They just need to win.

                  Which they won't and for every day of the war they will be under immense pressure, and their precious oil money will also be dwindle along with investments. Given the amount of money the Aliyev clan is sitting on and making, a war would be a big blow to them, and they know that very well. In my view, it's just big words to keep the trust of the people - practically the status quo is the best way right now.

                    Conquest of Artsakh will give the clan liberty to do as they please and the destruction of what opposition there is and it also opens a road to Yerevan. So if they think that they can win they will attack.
                    Why would the West do that? As we have seen countries that deliver oil to the West can do as they please without a mention of all their crimes. The biggest mistake we can make is a retreat of our troops from the front line and giving up defense positions that we have today;

                      I never said we retreat our troops. I was just referring to accepted points in the negotiations (withdrawing from security belt after independence of Karabakh).

                      It's not about the West doing it, it's about foreign investors not wanting to invest in a country that is in a war via its own initiated attack. This includes oil investors and the pipeline projects.
