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.

        Armenian Governor Questioned Over Assault


        Sisak Gabrielian
        Հրապարակված է՝ 02.06.2015

        Law-enforcement officials have questioned Suren Khachatrian, the controversial governor of Armenia’s Syunik province, in connection with a violent attack that was allegedly led by one of his sons, it emerged on Tuesday.

        The May 2 incident in the regional town of Goris reinforced a widely held belief that Khachatrian and his equally violent relatives enjoy impunity thanks to their loyalty to President Serzh Sarkisian.

        It left two Goris residents severely injured. The 32-year-old Harut Zakarian lost vision in one eye while his elder brother Mushegh suffered a broken nose after they were attacked by a large group of other men. They claim that they attackers were led by Khachatrian’s notorious son Tigran.

        Armenia’s Investigative Committee, a law-enforcement agency investigating the assault, reluctantly interrogated the 21-year-old on May 16 amid a media and opposition uproar in Yerevan. But he was not detained or charged as a result. Nor have the investigators levelled accusations against anyone else so far.
        Armenia - Tigran Khachatrian, son of Syunik Governor Suren Khachatrian.Armenia - Tigran Khachatrian, son of Syunik Governor Suren Khachatrian.

        According to an assistant to a lawyer for Suren Khachatrian, the Syunik governor insisted during the questioning that his son is innocent. “Tigran Khachatrian had no part in the incident. “He only separated people,” the assistant told RFE/RL’s Armenian service (Azatutyun.am). He refused to give other details.

        Khachatrian claimed in the immediate aftermath of the incident that Tigran was not in Goris on May 2.

        Meanwhile, the injured brothers’ mother, Anahit Galstian, decried what she sees as a lack of progress in the probe and warned the Investigative Committee against a cover-up. “We won’t keep silent,” she said, insisting that her sons were beaten up by Tigran Khachatrian and dozens of his “thugs.”

        Galstian also reiterated that they received threats from the governor’s son over the phone shortly before the incident. She challenged the investigators to listen to the audio recordings of their phone calls.

        The beating occurred almost two years after Tigran and his father’s bodyguards clashed with a Goris businessman, Avetik Budaghian, and his brother Artak outside the Khachatrians’ local villa. Avetik was shot dead while Artak was seriously wounded in the incident.

        Tigran and one of the bodyguards were arrested in the following days only to be cleared of murder charges and set free two months later. Law-enforcement authorities said the gunshots fired by them constituted legitimate self-defense.

        Despite denying any involvement, Suren Khachatrian was sacked in the wake of the 2013 shootings. But he was reinstated as Syunik governor a year later.

              • Re: Who owns what in Armenia

                Armenia’s much-touted anti-corruption initiative has gotten off to a less-than-ideal start: leading government members of the body intended to root out graft are bogged down by questions about their own spending habits and sources of income.

                [...]

                Abrahamyan, a veteran politician who previously, according to Hetq.am, redecorated his office for over half a million dollars without issuing a public tender, has not commented on his foreign-travel spending practices. The costs of such flights are magnified in Armenia by the fact that the average monthly nominal wage was the equivalent of $383 in May 2015, and roughly one-third of the country’s approximately 3 million population lives in poverty.

                Not only Abrahamyan’s spending practices have faced criticism; his sources of wealth have drawn scrutiny, too. He has attributed his 2014 declaration of nearly $2 million in dollar-denominated assets to “farming.” Media outlets claim that he controls via his family scores of private companies, ranging from gas stations to casinos, and thousands of hectares of land.

                The prime minister, however, is not the only senior official on the council with apparently entrepreneurial relatives. Family members of Finance Minister Gagik Khachatrian, dubbed the “super minister,” have been linked to a variety of businesses, including a large Internet service provider (Ucom), several food importers, a huge shopping center in downtown Yerevan, a supermarket chain (Nor Zovq) and a cash-register-related importer.

                On July 22, the French-owned Orange Armenia, one of Armenia’s largest telecommunications operators, stated that it was in talks about selling the company to Ucom, RFE/RL reported.

                Khachatrian has not commented on his possible role in any of these companies. Asked on July 28 by Gala TV about how the Anti-Corruption Council could fight corruption when some of its members faced media scrutiny, he answered: “That is a different topic.”

                Against this backdrop, opposition parties and non-governmental organizations are unlikely to endorse the Council’s work anytime soon. “At all times, the government has spoken about the fight against corruption [like a dish] with different sauces, [with] promises and beautiful words, but all that is theater and we cannot enter a process which we do not believe in from the very beginning,” commented Anahit Bakhshian, a senior member of the tiny opposition Heritage Party.

                The European Union Delegation to Yerevan and the United States Agency for International Development – two sources of tens of millions of dollars in assistance for anti-corruption drives in Armenia – have not yet commented on the council’s work or composition.

                On July 28, however, the prime minister’s chief of staff, David Harutiunian, announced that a cooperation agreement will be signed with USAID as part of a $750,000 anti-corruption initiative.

                Civil rights activist Artur Sakunts, an outspoken government critic, believes the funds will be “wasted,” as during previous official anti-corruption initiatives. “Unfortunately, this is another theater that leads nowhere unless there is a political will and an independent body to fight” corruption, Sakunts said.

                    Armenian Tycoon Accused Of Fresh Violence

                    By Hovannes Movsisian and Irina Hovhannisyan
                    August 18, 2015

                    An Armenian businessman was hospitalized over the weekend after being beaten up in an attack he blamed on Ruben Hayrapetian, the wealthy and well-connected head of the Football Federation of Armenia (FFA).

                    The allegation is likely to rekindle controversy over Hayrapetian, three years after guards at a restaurant owned by his family beat a man to death -- an attack which prompted accusations that tycoons with ties to President Serzh Sarkisian's government enjoy impunity.

                    Arsen Avetisian, the majority shareholder in an airline that suspended operations last year, told RFE/RL's Armenian Service on August 17 that he was assaulted during a meeting with Hayrapetian at the FFA Football Academy two days earlier.

                    "Hayrapetian grabbed my hand, and when I tried to free my hand everybody else started hitting me," Avetisian said, speaking from his bed at a Yerevan hospital where he is recovering from a broken nose and other serious injuries. "I didn’t see who was hitting me as I lay on the ground."

                    "They then took me to another place. Ruben Hayrapetian was there and he continued to talk to me," he said.

                    Avetisian, who manages private carrier Air Armenia, declined to discuss what might have prompted the attack. He said he would provide more information "in the coming days."

                    Air Armenia is the former Soviet republic's largest airline, but it suspended flights late last year and is reportedly saddled with debt.

                    Avetisian’s, wife, Izabella Melkumian, published an open letter to President Serzh Sarkisian alleging that Hayrapetian and his bodyguards kidnapped her husband after the beating.

                    She claimed they demanded he sign a statement certifying that he owes Hayrapetian a substantial amount of money.

                    "I appealed to law-enforcement bodies but am worried about the safety of my husband and other members of our family," Melkumian said in the letter, entreating Sarkisian to ensure the family is protected by the state.

                    The Armenian police said that they were investigating the allegations. A police spokesperson refused to divulge any details of that inquiry.

                    News.am reported that Hayrapetian and two of his bodyguards were questioned by police investigators, and said the tycoon refused to comment when contacted by the online publication. Neither Hayrapetian nor his aides answered phone calls from RFE/RL's Armenian service.

                    Air Armenia reportedly has outstanding debts to at least one other airline and several banks.

                    The attack on Avetisian came a day after a Ukrainian investment fund, which recently bought a 49 percent stake in Air Armenia, announced that it has invested over $68 million in the troubled airline.

                    Hayrapetian was the target of a public outcry after several Armenian Army medics were attacked in June 2012 at Harsnakar, a Yerevan restaurant owned by Hayrapetian’s family. One of the medics -- Vahe Avetian, a 35-year-old father of three -- died, and two others were seriously injured after arguing with burly men working at the restaurant.

                    Avetian's death shocked the nation and sparking a series of angry street protests by hundreds of civic activists who saw the incident as a manifestation of impunity enjoyed by government-linked tycoons.

                    Zhanna Aleksanian, a veteran human rights activist and writer, said that Avetisian’s beating shows that the problem persists.

                    "The oligarchs who are members of [President] Serzh Sarkisian’s inner circle enjoy impunity,” she told RFE/RL’s Armenian service. “This is why such incidents recur. Only Serzh Sarkisian can tell how long this will continue.”

                    The outcry in 2012 prompted Hayrapetian to resign from the Armenian parliament and apologize to Avetian’s family. But he stayed on as chairman of the Football Federation of Armenia (FFA), denying any involvement in the beating, and he is a senior member of Sarkisian’s Republican Party of Armenia.

                    In March 2014, six men believed to be Hayrapetian’s bodyguards were convicted of killing Avetian and sentenced to 12 years prison. An appeals court later upheld the verdict.

                    Hayrapetian was accused in November 2012 of beating up a doctor working for FC Pyunik, a soccer club controlled by him, and in 2014 he allegedly verbally and physically abused a Pyunik player during a match. Hayrapetian denied those allegations through the FFA’s press service.
