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.

    Armenia Joins Shanghai Cooperation Organization as `Partner in Dialogue'

    Alex Crown

    Another highlight of Mr. Modi's visit was India's inclusion as the
    full member of the SCO at the Ufa summit of the organisation.

    The BRICS grouping is a more recent invention, but the SCO emerged in
    2001 as successor to the so-called Shanghai Five, which comprised
    Russian Federation, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and China.

    A statement from the PM House said Pakistan will now have to fulfil
    certain statutory and legal requirements before the country formally
    becomes a full member.

    The Prime Minister said the membership also advances the shared vision
    to reconnect and integrate Eurasia's different region. `We have
    everything we need to succeed'. India, Pakistan, Iran, Afghanistan and
    Mongolia are at present observers ` a status that allows them to
    participate in meetings but without full voting rights.

    The SCO, which also includes ex- Soviet republics in Central Asia, has
    been viewed as a de facto counterweight to major Western alliances
    such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO).

    The prime minister said that the SCO countries must work together to
    mitigate differences, resolve outstanding disputes and create a
    favourable environment for the betterment of their peoples. China has
    steered the organization toward an economic grouping while Russian
    Federation has emphasized the organization's political role and pushed
    for greater security cooperation.

    While India continues to nurse serious reservations over the
    China-Pakistan Economic Corridor, Sharif? said the corridor was going
    to be useful for the prosperity of the region.

    `We will work with SCO to combat terrorism and extremism that is a
    rising threat to the entire region'. A separate meeting between Sharif
    and Modi led to plans for Modi to visit Pakistan next year.

    India has been an actively participating in SCO activities that are
    open to Observers. SCO now has four nuclear powered nations with India
    and Pakistan joining its benches along with China and Russian
    Federation.

    Members should promote the development of the bank's headquarters and
    a regional center in Africa, said Xi, who urged more countries to
    support the bank.

    Analysts told Shanghai Daily, that with its expansion the SCO will
    provide a platform for broader economic and security cooperation
    within the Eurasian region.
