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.

    Azerbaijan to get $ 4 billion from the IMF and World Bank

    Economics. Azerbaijan holds negotiations with the International Monetary (IMF) Fund and the World Bank (WB) on allocation of 4 bln loan package, the IMF representative told “Financial Times”, APA reports.

    According to him, the IMF and the World Bank delegation will arrive in Baku to discuss the loan package with Azerbaijani government within Jan 28 – Feb 4.


    Enjoy the loan fukwits
    They won't take the loan yet IMO. IMF and WB loans come with conditions of actual reforms and liberalizing your economy. It's hard to think that the hard headed thinking that got them into this situation will be reversed over night.

    If anything this should be a really important signal to Armenia and the oligarchs. In a way, the monopolization in Armenia's economy will lead to similar fissures in the economy.

          Azerbaijan's decade-long boom is well and truly over.
          The oil producing central Asian country has been slammed by the oil price crash and is now considering asking for an international bailout.

          Experts from the International Monetary Fund arrived in the capital Baku on Thursday to find out just how bad the situation has become.
          "The team will discuss areas for technical assistance and assess possible financing needs," an IMF spokesperson told CNN.
          A senior Azerbaijani official told CNN the government is thinking about an emergency loan of $4 billion to help it cope with the collapse in global crude oil prices.
          Still, it may have other options. The country has about $30 billion dollars in its sovereign wealth fund -- money it saved for a rainy day, the official said.
          Azerbaijan is one of many oil producers brought down by collapsing prices. The oil sector alone makes up around 37% of Azerbaijan's GDP, and nearly 90% of its exports, World Bank data shows.
          It's currency, the manat, has lost 52% against the dollar in the last year.
          President Ilham Aliyev spoke about the situation at a CNN panel in Davos last week, calling the low oil prices "psychologically difficult."
          Azerbaijan's economy grew by more than 4% last year but the IMF expects growth to slow sharply to just 2.5% in 2016. Despite the growing economy, the government had to run a budget deficit of almost 8% of GDP last year, according to the IMF.
          That represents a massive reversal of fortunes -- the country was used to huge budget surpluses even at the height of global financial crisis.
          It has experienced stunning growth over the last decade -- its economy grew 34.5% in 2006 alone. The poverty rate dropped by almost 50% between 2001 and 2013.
          Oil production peaked at just more than 1 million barrels per day in 2009 and 2010 but has since declined to about 800,000 barrels per day.
          -- CNN's Chris Liakos contributed to this report.

            We should encourage them to keep thinking like that. Make them burn more reserves. They probably won't take the money for another 3 months.

                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

                  An old Italian friend tried to teach me the meaning of "moxie" 40 years ago. It took me a number of years after his attempt before I realized what he was trying to teach me.
                  I don't think moxie is what that mouth exhibited.
                  I'd choose ... Vanity.

                    Armenia is not in great shape economically but in one huge aspect, the Azeri war rhetoric and bloated defense spending is really starting to bite them in the ass; While Armenia spends wisely and gets arms at a deep discount, the Azeris will no longer be able to spend nearly what they used to but will still be forced to keep spending in order to offset Armenia's purchases. The tried to use the spending strategy against us to make themselves feel superior for what they couldn't gain on the battlefield, to build their morale and pressure Armenian but the tables are turning- their strategy has bit them in the arse.

                      Do you really believe they have any reserve left with aliyev's high maintenance wife and daughters? That reserve is fictitious to fool the Baboon population.
