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.

    latest Water level of Sevan: 1900m.49cm on the 25 of June 2015, which +2cm compared to same day last year.
    But yet, it is still lower by 7 cm with same day in 2013....
    Which means we have spoiled at least the last 3 years..., in other words, we have lost at least 1 m of water level.....

    If the government respects the law, and avoids more water release than the maximum 170 million cubic meters possible by law, than we must have at leat + 30 cm at the end of the year...
    The spring was fairly rainy this year, and all dams were nearly full.
    We will see at the end of December....

          How camel reached Sevan and dived in (video)

          July 24,2015



          Divers at Underwater Research and Diving Armenian center are concerned
          with the problems of Lake Sevan. Research has been carried out in Lake
          Sevan for already 6 years. They note that one of the primary issues is
          pollution and advise the people in charge to pay attention to it,
          `Both the bottom of the lake and the shores are polluted. If nothing
          is done, the situation will worsen, we should keep it clean. We aim at
          developing diving in Armenia.'

          A few days ago the divers found a skull of a camel and a stone
          container in Lake Sevan, they intend to hand it in to scientists, `At
          first in the northern part of the island we found something unclear,
          then we were told that it is a skull of a camel, and it is already the
          second skull found in the territory of Shorzha from a depth of 18
          meters,' said diver Vahe Melkonyan.

          They have signed an agreement with French Embassy and at the present
          any information about Lake Sevan can be found on Sevanlake.am website.

                Armenia’s nature protection ministry: Lake Sevan water not to be used for saving Iran's Urmia



                YEREVAN, August 12. /ARKA/. Armenia’s nature protection ministry denied today rumors going around that Lake Sevan’s water will be used for restoring Iran’s Lake Urmia.

                The ministry’s press office said today that these rumors were denied yet on August 10, immediately after they emerged.

                “But some media outlets, knowing nothing about the denial and without requesting official information from the responsible agency, insist on the truth of this allegation saying it has not been denied and keep deluding the society,” the ministry says in its press release.

                Sevan is one of the largest mountainous lakes in Europe and Asia. It sits in the middle of Armenian Highland at an altitude of 1914 meters.

                The lake’s water surface is 1,500 square kilometers. Sevan is the main resource of drinking water in the region.

                Lake Urmia is an endorheic salt lake in northwestern Iran near Iran's border with Turkey. The lake is on the brink of disappearance. ---0----

                Its about self interest at personal and national level often at odds with the above.
                Great politicians pursue the National interest and small politicians personal interests

                      Haykakan Zhamanak: Global warming challenge also for Armenia
                      18.08.15







                      Below is an excerpt from the paper’s editorial:

                      “It is probably the first time that global warming is becoming a hot topic for people in Armenia too. It isn’t, of course, yet a proven fact that this year’s terrible hot weather will be repeated next year, but the unprecedented length of the high air temperature naturally gives way to concerns.

                      “The change of climate is a fact, so in that context, desertification appears to be the greatest threat to Armenia. Over the past 25 years, thousands of hectares of woodlands saw trees cut on their territories, with the greenlands being eliminated and the river ecosystems disrupted due to hydropower plants; the Artesian basin in the Ararat valley was wasted without new dams replacing them, while those that had been constructed faced shortage of water.

                      “And shortage of water is what appears to be an aftermath of climate change, an extremely serious hazard threatening us. Even though we consider the Ararat Valley an area abounding in orchards, any part of it is prone to quickly turning into a desert in case of an insufficient irrigation. Global warming reveals extremely serious challenges to us, whereas we do not seem to have strategies to resist them at present.

                      “How is the weather change going to affect the springs of drinking water and to what extent will that influence strengthen in the wake of small hydropower plants’ construction? How are we supposed to keep raising the level of [Lake] Sevan and manage to accumulate the necessary water reserves for drinking and irrigation? In what way are we expected to meet the demand for extra power that we will need to cool down our apartments and operate and create extra pumping stations? These questions need, at first sight, to be pushed to the foreground. And without panic at all, as that would prevent us from making reasonable decisions. It is important to undertake those problems’ solution starting from today. And it is possible to do it right now, as that would be a good chance to save several billion cubic meters of water.”
