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.

    Visit of the Minister of Economy and Industry Shahin Mustafayev to Iran has been very fruitful in terms of cooperation between the two countries in the energy field.
    The Minister, in particular, suggested Tehran to use the infrastructure of Azerbaijan for the supply of Iranian oil and gas to world markets.....
    Oil prices are still getting down sharply this morning, by -2.5%.
    The Brent is 44.24 USD
    The WTI at 39.3 USD.

    As said in the previous article in Regnum, they planned their 2015 budget based on a 90 USD basis.
    This is just a MEGA catastrophy for them.
    The cost price of the off-shore oil of the BP must not be far from 30 USD.
    That is, if things remain this way or even get worse, they are just offering their oil for free.....

      I do not dispute what you are saying.

      The reason for posting this is the fact that Azerbaijan is far better placed with its infrastructure, ignoring politics for a moment,
      to take advantage of Iranian gas being available to Europe.

      I was also in an oblique way pouring water on all the excitement about gas pipeline through Armenia etc.

      I am not for a moment suggesting that Azerbaijan's economy will not hit the rocks, its a matter of time.
      Then, they can join us to live on borrowed money.

      Maybe the best way to live in peace, assuming bankers will not lend money to conduct wars.

      .
      Politics is not about the pursuit of morality nor what's right or wrong
      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

        If they had a choice, it is certain than Iran would have opted for Armenia/Georgia/Black Sea option.
        The reason this may not be their choice, is the Russian veto on Armenia.

        Now Baku can dream of their option.
        It has the main advantage of minimal investment for Iran, since a small shortcut in Taloshistan might let them to access to the azeri lines, via Georgia and Turkey...
        But yet again, this is the worst option for them given their mutual distrust..

        Iran might thus opt for a direct Turkey option.
        But yet again, while the actual proxy war they are in Syria and Irak, and the possible insecurity in Kurdistan for coming years... it is not that simple.

        -----
        So the Azari option for Iranian gas is not as likely, as the azaris might like to show, given their actual dire situation....

          The outlook has to be looking very frightening and uncertain for the leadership of Azerbaijan at the moment. This is why our foreign policy, our ability to have maximized our defenses, our armed forces, is so important. Now, and in the coming year, is the time Azerbaijan would want a war. With their weapons at the peak, and with the leadership desperately needing to suppress dissent, war would be ideal for them. However given our preparation it seems they are certain nothing will come from it, and that's why they refrain from starting.

              I'm headed to Angola next week- my company is working on petroleum related projects. Angola has large oil (as well as mineral reserves), second only to Nigeria in the African continent. More Angola fields, etc are coming online. This will probably effect Russia, Kazakh and Azeri oil prices.

                The situation here in Armenia is starting to look nervous. Two days ago dollar exchange rate was up to 485. Yesterday the central bank intervened 50 million USD, a dramatic move by Armenian standards. I would rather not see oil go down anymore than what it has. If it goes into the 30s, the Ruble and the Russian economy might collapse with it, and with that Armenia. I rather see Azerbaijan bleed out slowly over two to three years, and Armenia continue unscratched, than have Azerbaijan collapse by 2016 because Armenia won't be far behind in that case.

                  I think the diaspora has opportunity here to play a very important role. We can support Armenia in her time of need by going there and spending money. Staying and spending in Hayastan is a great deal for diasporans coming from the west because of the currency situation. Fall happens to be one of the best times to go to Hayastan as the hot weather cools and the harvest is in full swing.
                  Hayastan or Bust.

                      The Russian ruble might collapse.
                      Thanks for modifying with the word "might".
                      My personal opinion is that's not going to happen.
                      Tough times for Russia and all sucked in to this manipulation, but Russian "resources" are too deep.
                      --- way too deep ---
                      They can be totally shut out and still eek a miserable existence. And that's what they'll do before they buckle to the USA/euro hard court press being applied , live and in color (real time).
                      They have shown this before.
                      The money game (west
                      Et al) is harsh, but it won't break them.
