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.

    If they do not have it in S. Ossetia, they do in North Ossetia and the range covers both regions.

    Russia Deploys S-300 Missile Systems in Abkhazia



    Russia announced Wednesday that it has moved a sophisticated anti-aircraft missile system into the republic of Abkhazia, the independence of which Russia recognized in 2008, shortly after the Caucasian war.
    The deployment of the S-300s drew immediate protest from Georgia. The Foreign Ministry called it an "extremely dangerous and provocative step that presents a threat not only to the Black Sea region but to European security as a whole."

    The U.S. State Department, however, said the missile deployment was old news, The Associated Press reports.

    The French Foreign Ministry has said the deployment of Russian S-300 air defense systems in the former Georgian republic of Abkhazia undermines stability in the region.

    Russian Air Force head Col. Gen. Alexander Zelin said on Wednesday S-300 systems had been placed in Abkhazia to protect the airspace of Abkhazia and the other former Georgian republic of South Ossetia. He did not say how many S-300s had been deployed, RIA Novosti say.

    In the fall of 2008, Russia integrated the newly independent republics into its own air defense network. It deployed several S-300 battalions in Abkhazia. Do not be fooled, these air defense missiles are not to counter any air threats from Georgia. The Georgian Air Force is in the process of being dismantled and the handful of remaining of Su-25 warplanes are being offered for sale. The Georgian air arm will from now on consist of helicopters only, they will be attached to the army. These S-300 are to provide cover for Russian troops in case of any larger scale conflict with some more capable foes. Take a map and look at how much air coverage these batteries based in Abkhazia, Gyumri (Armenia) and elsewhere in the Caucasus can provide.

    It seems to be a great victory for free markets, hope this will encourage more investments in the Russian economy. If any Armenian has some money: go and buy a part of those companies!

    Russian government may cut its stakes in state-owned companies

    January 30, 2012 - 11:03 AMT

    PanARMENIAN.Net - The government may cut its stakes in some state-owned companies over the next few years, Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said in an article published on his election website.

    “On each company, we have a reorganization plan today… Some of them will be turned into public companies with stakes to be sold. This will touch upon Russian Technologies, Rosavtodor, Rosatom in its civilian part and a number of other state corporations,” the premier said.

    “I believe it is possible to reduce the state stake in some raw materials companies and complete the withdrawal from the capital of large non-raw materials companies, which are not natural monopolies or defense sector organizations, by 2016,” he said, RIA Novosti reported.

    Putin, who held the presidential post from 2000 to 2008, is considered the most likely candidate to win the presidential election on March 4. However, some analysts say his declining popularity could see him forced into a runoff.

    I highly doubt US will attack. Highly doubt. It's all talk to pressure Iran, but they can't and won't attack Iran. They'd rather settle with a nuclear Iran than have a war with Iran and all the things that come with it. Even in Israel there is opposition by some high ranking Mossad leaders against attack. Iran is not Iraq. The geography, capabilities is much different.
    My bet is that they will initiate aerial bombardments, and continue with the cyber-war and special forces operations to assassinate Iranian scientists, and in case of the bombings, to blow up military targets. I too thought that the West wouldn't attack Iran, but it seems that the hubris of policy-makers in Washington, and to a lesser extent in Brussels, has gotten the better of them. If they go into Syria, then I will be even more convinced that they're planning to attack Iran next.
