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.

    Re: The truth about Khojalu

    British Gov. was aiding and abating one of our worst pres. of all time.
    "All truth passes through three stages:
    First, it is ridiculed;
    Second, it is violently opposed; and
    Third, it is accepted as self-evident."

    Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)

      They just use "Khojaly" as leverage against Armenia and Artsakh. They still can't believe that they lost the war and now they're making up lies. Armenian soldiers always gave time and a route for civilians to escape through.

        UK MP Says Azerbaijan Used Its People As A Shield

        In an exclusive interview to Armenian online newspaper Aysor, the Deputy Speaker of the British House of Lords Baroness Caroline Cox said "Azerbaijan used its citizens as a shield in Khojalu." The interview was taken on September 22, when Cox was visiting Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh for the launch of a charity even founded by her and the British “Lilis Consulting” company.

        In that interview, which can be read here, she also says that Nagorno Karabakh is on its way of becoming a democratic state. Cox says the international community is not well informed about the real events surrounding Nagorno Karabakh and its struggle for freedom and independence from Azerbaijan.

        "I think at present Azerbaijan is spending a lot of money for the circulation of the “Khojalu events” phrase. But I know also that Armenia had informed the Azerbaijan about the attack and had given a chance to the people of Azerbaijan to leave the place. Even they, the Azeri, say that they have been informed about the attack."

        In regard to the future status of Nagorno Karabakh, an enclave populated by majority Armenians, who's rights were consistently oppressed by the government of Azerbaijan, she expressed her hope that the international community can see the democratic developments and the desire to live free in Karabakh and will give the young republic a chance to defend those rights.

        "I have been present in NKR presidential elections, and not only me, there have been present a number of representatives of different international organizations and all of them assured that the elections have been held according all the norms of democracy. Nagorno Karabakh is on its way of becoming a democratic state where the human rights are respected and the civic society is being developed. I hope that the international community based on the self determination right of the nations will give Artsakh people a chance to lead its own fortune and to decide the way of its own future," said Baroness Cox.

          Caroline Cox has devoted much of her life to the Artsakh liberation cause. She continues to shine here. Artsakh has even opened a school with her name. This is information from Wikipedia about her work with Armenians:

          Baroness Cox is the chairperson of the British Armenia All-Party Parliamentary Group. She is also a strong supporter of self-determination for the people of Nagorno-Karabakh, which is official part of Azerbaijan. Paying tribute to Cox's dedication to the Armenian cause, Frank Pallone, Jr., the co-chairman of the US Congressional Caucus on Armenian Issues, called her a "true Armenian nationalist who would give her life for Armenia and Karabakh". On February 15, 2006 she was awarded the Mkhitar Gosh Medal by the President of the Republic of Armenia Robert Kocharyan.

            Well that's a first. I'm glad that someone in the international scene explicitly agrees with our account of Khojalu.

              Shes on the side of truth. She knows Armenia is not the aggressor but the azeris were, she knows khojaly is bullxxxx, so shes against those lies like she said she saw azeris using civilians as shields, she saw the massacre at Maragha and she witnessed the Armenians, who like she says had a much smaller army, defeat the azeri who had a 10x larger army and were better equipped. shes on the side of truth.

                Cox is not the only one. There is also a Canadian military historian who has published a book on the Artsakh war that agrees. Also, the former leadership of Azerbaijan who was ousted by the Aliyevs also agrees with the Armenian account and this is as high ranked as the first president of Azerbaijan Ayaz Mutalibov. A couple of foreign journalists (Czech and Bulgarian from what I remember) who were at the scene of the battle also agree with the Armenian side. Also, Azerbaijani hero Chingiz Mustafayev who shot the videos of the alleged dead mysteriously was killed after he started doubting the events and wanted to conduct further investigation. Another prominent journalist on our side is Eynullah Fatulayev who currently is living inside a jail cell in Baku for you can guess what reason.

                The problem is they have successfully marketed the myth and have overblown it while we have failed to do so with the genocides in Sumgait, Maraghar, Baku and Kirovabad.

                  here is the article about the Canadian military historian:

                  There is no evidence that the Armenians of Nagorno Karabakh committed "genocide" against Meskhetian Turks of Khojaly, Canadian military historian Patrick Wilson Gore said. Gore stated that Stalin's annexation of Nagorno Karabakh to Azerbaijan was due to his "paranoia" of Armenians and a secret deal between him and Ataturk, the Turkish dictator. The Canadian expert stated that for 70 years Armenians of Nagorno Karabakh were treated as second-class citizens under Azeri rule. The treatment of Armenians by Azeris was a classic case of ethnic cleansing. After the Sumgait and Baku massacres of Armenians in the early 1990s, the Armenians were forced to fight to defend their families and their lives. In regard to the Khojaly incident, Gore said "Azeri troops ran faster than the Meskhetian Turk civilians they had been using as human shields". Upon their retreat to Agdam, civilians of Khojaly were fired upon by the Azeri OMON garrison of Agdam, mistaking them for Armenian forces. He said that a day before the start of Khojaly battle, the Azeri forces executed 32 Armenian prisoners of war. Regarding the ongoing Azeri government threats of resumption of war to take Nagorno Karabakh, Gore said that "peace is for the benefit of both sides". It is true that the Azeri government is getting emboldened with its new-found oil wealth, but the Aliyev government has to "consider that their oil and gas pipelines run 30 km north of Nagorno Karabakh, and Azeris have invested heavily in their Baku facilities." Gore questioned whether Azeris want to jeopardize their vital pipelines and "risk their money sources." The author of the 139-page book is a Canadian specialist in military history and theory. He studied at Oxford, and subsequently graduated from the National Defense College at Kingston, one of NATO's senior command colleges. Much of his career has focused on strategic intelligence. This is his eleventh book. He used to be paratrooper and marine commando.

                      We should raise awareness of the genocides commited
                      by the azeries on Armenians of Baku, Sumgait, Maraghar,
                      and Kirovabad.
