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.

    I think Armenia should start a UAV program manufacturing our own planes. We have the brains and it is the future of battles. turkey has a program that is backed by joostate.

      This absolutely got my blood boiling

      "within the next 25-years there will exist no state of Armenia in the South Caucasus. Modern Armenia is built on historical Azerbaijani lands. . . I think that in 25-30 years’ times its territory will again come under Azerbaijan’s jurisdiction"
      If you read the constant chatter of Azeri politicians, Armenian friendship with Iran is the biggest threat to Azerbaijan. Aliyev knows that Iranians won't hesitate to send Baku to the bottom of the Caspian.

        Re: Azerbaijani threats against Armenia

        Nice back-tracking Pulkhov, the originator of the threat a few weeks ago. Even the Azeris realized they are looking like thug morons. The more they threaten Armenians, the more enmity, resolve, anger and awareness they build up in Armenia. This situation becomes more intractable with each passing day as the Azeris continually make idiotic and bellicose statements. The Armenians have absolutely no reason to even sit down with these people and entertain any ideas of conceivably discussing a peace arrangement. We are dealing with deranged thugs.

        Azerbaijan 'not to apply' force against civil objects

        Azerbaijan will not apply force against civilians and civil objects.
        The statement came from spokesman for the Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry Elkhan Polukhov while commenting on possible implications of illegal flights to the occupied lands of Azerbaijan.

        'Unlike the Armenian side, we have always put the concepts of humanism and nonuse of force against civilians to a foreground. Should we list tens of terrorist acts, committed by Armenians in buses, underground, on railroads, helicopters knocked down in the occupied lands, in the Iranian airplane with civilians on board?

        We should also not forget the airplane crash with 78 Azerbaijani volunteers aboard, directing to assist those who suffered from the earthquake in Spitak on 11 December 1988. Thus, unlike Armenia, Azerbaijan, that has a great experience in this issue, will never apply force against civilian objects', Polukhov said.

          Re: Azerbaijani threats against Armenia

          And here is more foolishness. So what he is saying is that Armenia should ethnically cleanse Artsakh of Armenians or the Azeris will do it themselves. Gee, let me think about this one.

          Just another example of why Armenian's should continue with their resolve. Armenia has absolutely nothing to gain by retreating or making unilateral moves towards peace. The Azeris have created a climate in which it will take several generations for the formulations of even somewhat normal relations.


          Armenian Leadership 'Should Think' About Tomorrow
          FRIDAY, 01 APRIL 2011 11:48
          Political scientist Vafa Guluzade has commented on the intention of Serzh Sargsyan to become the first passenger of the first airplane in Khankendi.

          'Azerbaijan must stay coldhearted and not to yield to this Armenian provocation. I think Sargsyan behaves like an ordinary cheap provocateur and it is a very boorish step.

          We should bring to the attention of the world community, UN, European Union, OSCE, OIC and other organizations, as well as the heads of states, that the Armenian leadership violates all norms of international law and instigates Azerbaijan for resumption of hostilities. In case of resumption of war, the whole opportunity will be on Armenia and its empty-headed leadership', the political scientist said.

          'I think anyway sooner or later the situation in the region and the balance of powers will change not in favor of Armenia, which will have no foreign supporters and then Baku will merely present an ultimatum to Yerevan about the immediate withdrawal of Armenian troops from the occupied Azerbaijani lands. If Armenia does not fulfill the ultimatum, it will thus put itself in an uneasy state and face with the military operation of Azerbaijan on cleaning its lands from Armenian occupants. I think the Armenian leadership should think about tomorrow, rather than clown around', Guluzade said.

              Could Azerbaijan Really Shoot Down a Civilian Plane in Karabakh?
              April 1, 2011 - 12:27pm, by Joshua Kucera

              As Nagorno Karabakh's first civilian airport gets set to open on May 9, Azerbaijan is threatening to "annihilate" any Armenian planes that use it. Azerbaijan argues, of course, that Karabakh belongs to them and the Armenians who now occupy it do so illegally. The shoot-down threat is almost certainly an empty one: it would be an act of war, before Azerbaijan is apparently ready and done in a way that would get international sympathies strongly on the Armenian side.

              But, assuming they were serious, could Azerbaijan do it? Azerbaijani military experts say they would use surface-to-air missiles like the S-125 or S-200, according to the news agency APA:

              Air Defense Troops’ experts declare that they are able to carry out measures against each military and civil aircrafts flying to Azerbaijan’s Khankendi airport. If close location of Khankendi airport to the front-line is taken into consideration, Air Defense Troops can annihilate those aircrafts by using C-125 or C-200 complexes. At the same time, it is possible to destroy navigation system of those aircrafts by using modern radioelectronic methods, and annihilate them without using any force. According to the words of experts, at present, Azerbaijan’s air defense systems can control not only the flights over Nagorno Karabakh, but also all the flights over Armenia. Civil aircrafts fly especially at altitudes of 8-10 km, their speed is lower than the military ones. Moreover, aircrafts rising from Khankendi may be annihilated till the level of maximum altitude.
              Armenian experts counter that those air defense systems would have to be moved close to the border to be used against aircraft landing in Stepanakert/Khankendi (the Armenian and Azeri names, respectively, for the capital city of Karabakh, where the airport is opening). And that would render them vulnerable to an Armenian attack. According to Artsruni Hovhannisyan, quoted in regnum.ru (in Russian):

              "In the arms of Azerbaijan are mostly missile systems S-200 and S-125, which more or less modern, but the fact is that they must be brought very close to the contact line, a distance from which they can be shelled. These complexes are not small devices that could be secretly moved up to the border. Their movement is sure to be noticed by Armenian intelligence."
              In any case, Azerbaijan appears to be walking back from its threat. From RFE/RL today:

              "Azerbaijan did not and will not use force against civil facilities, unlike Armenia, which has earned notoriety for terror and war against the civilian population,” Azerbaijani Foreign Ministry spokesman Elkhan Polukhov told local news agencies.
              (I love how he tries to flip it and make it look like Armenia is the bad guy here)

              That's for the best.

              (h/t to Emil Sanamyan for help with the research on this.)
