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.

    Georgia still thinks about selling gas pipeline to Azerbaijan
    December 13, 2010 | 16:26
    Georgian government has not defined its position on selling of North South gas pipeline to Azerbaijani SOCAR, Georgian Deputy Foreign Minister Nino Kalandadze told the journalists today.

    “SOCAR is carrying out big and successful projects. Decision on the pipeline may be made, meeting the interests of both states,” Kalandadze said, Trend reported.

    The official statement on intention to purchase Georgian section of the pipeline was made by SOCAR President Rovnag Abdullayev.

    According to him, the gas pipeline can be used to accelerate implementation of Interconnector Azerbaijan-Georgia-Romania (AGRI) projects providing for supplies of Azerbaijani liquefied natural gas via Georgia’s territory and the Black Sea to Romania.

    As NEWS.am reported, gas main passing through Georgia and connecting Russia with Armenia was excluded from the privatization list.

    Azerbaijan to cede David Gareja in exchange for other territory

    December 13, 2010 | 18:02
    Gareja region located between Azerbaijan and Georgia will be returned to Tbilisi by Baku in exchange for other territory, said Georgian Deputy Foreign Minister Nino Kalandadze.

    According to her, the problems between two states will be solved as soon as Azerbaijan and Georgia solve the issue of precise demarcation of the border.

    David Gareja monastery complex and Erisimedi village are located between Azerbaijan and Georgia.

    Georgian expert Mamuka Areshidze does not rule out that Georgian government will cede Erisimedi village in exchange for David Gareja.

    Areshidze stated that Georgia faces the same problem with Marneuli region southern part of which is bordering with Armenia.
    Original Article
    Wikipedia Article about the complex

    Quote from the Wikipedia article:
    In April 2007, Khalafov [Azerbaijani] told a press conference in that it was "out of the question" for Azerbaijan to "give up its claims to the borderlands" including David Gareja. He then made a controversial statement that the monastery "was home to the Caucasian Albanians, who are believed to have been the earliest inhabitants of Azerbaijan." This prompted a response from Georgian foreign minister Gela Bezhuashvili. "It is absolutely unclear to me why my colleague made these remarks," he told reporters in Tbilisi. "His history lessons are absolutely incomprehensible. He should read up on world history."

    The Albanian theory is also supported by some Azerbaijani historians who are strongly opposed to transferring any part of their territory to Georgia. "The monastery was inside Georgia only in the 12th century," stated Ismail Umudlu, an Azerbaijani journalist and historian. "Both before and after this period, the area was part of a state to which Azerbaijan is a successor."[6] Georgian art historian Dimitri Tumanishvili dismissed this claim and stated that the complex "is covered in the work of Georgian masters." "There are Georgian inscriptions everywhere dating back to the sixth century," he said "There are no traces of another culture there. After that, I don’t think you need any further proof." "The idea that this monastery was founded by the Caucasus Albanians is simply absurd," said Zaza Datunashvili, a monk from David Gareja. "You might as well say that Georgians built the Great Wall of China."
    Great response by Georgians. Very similar to our responses. How coincidental.
