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.

    Medvedev declared Saakashvili persona non grata
    17:44 / 02/17/2010

    Georgian President Mikheil Saakashvili is a persona non grata in Russia, said RF President Dmitry Medvedev at the joint press conference with his Abkhazian counterpart Sergei Bagapsh on Feb. 17, Vesti reports.

    According to Medvedev, sooner or later Russia and Georgia will restore normal full-fledged relations and bitter conflict of 2008 will not damage friendly relations between our nations.

    At that, Russian president emphasized that will not deal with incumbent Georgian president.

    He recalled that incumbent Georgian president is fully responsible for the conflict that claimed lives, who is a “persona non grata” for Russia. “Based on constitutional procedures Georgian people should decide on their own who can rule their country, who is capable of bringing Georgia to prosperity and normal friendly relations with neighboring countries – with Russian Federation and Republic of Abkhazia,” Medvedev concluded.

    Armenian Town Hails Ukraine Poll Outcome


    Residents of Spitak, a small town in northern Armenia, are going to send a letter of congratulations to Ukraine to express their joy to Victor Yanukovich.

    Yanukovich, an honorary citizen of Spitak, the town in which he led a rescue and rehabilitation effort by a Ukrainian group in the days following a devastating earthquake more than two decades ago, won a majority of votes in the runoff of Ukraine’s presidential election held last Sunday. (He was declared Spitak’s honorary citizen in 2004).

    Spitak’s vice-mayor Anahit Gyulazian has already completed the text of the congratulatory message.

    Almost everyone in Spitak, who are rejoicing at the victory of the Ukrainian, know Yanukovich, former prime minister of Ukraine and the leader of the Party of Regions. He was in their town only a year and a half ago to see his fellow townsmen and the town itself that was razed to the ground in the devastating earthquake in 1988 but was restored in recent years.

    Yanukovich was not only pronounced honorary citizen of Spitak. This town also has a square named after him. In the presence of Yanukovich the Spitak authorities in 2008, on the 20th anniversary of the earthquake, renamed a central square after the Ukrainian politician.

    Now the authorities are going to make repairs of Yanukovich square.

    The Spitak folk got to know Yanukovich first 21 years ago. During the days after the December 7, 1988 earthquake a production unit, Donbastransremont, headed by Yanukovich conducted rescue and rehabilitation work in the earthquake-hit town.

    Sergey Sahakian, who was head of the Ideology Department of Spitak’s district committee back then, now shows the territory, where the winning candidate in the Ukrainian presidential vote lived for six months in the late 1980s.

    Recalling the days of the disaster, Sahakian tells about a group of young Ukrainian rescuers who came to Armenia under Yanukovich’s leadership.

    The people of Spitak not only feel happy for their honorary fellow townsman, but they also consider his victory useful for themselves.

    Residents of Spitak, a small town in northern Armenia, are going to send a letter of congratulations to Ukraine to express their joy to Victor Yanukovich.

With youkrain back in moscows orbit, the rest of the collor revolutions will be no more and we can thank armenias leadership for resisting the likes of levon and not letting the country slide into chaos like it happened in the other states.

    Actually the beauty of the elections was that both candidates were favorable for Russia. Tymoshenko hasn't conceded defeat yet either, so things can still get rocky.

    Russian FM acknowledges "Iran's legitimate security concerns"


    Munich, Feb 6, IRNA -- Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on
    Saturday called on western countries to take "Iran's legitimate
    security concerns" seriously.

    "Iran has legitimate security concerns, no doubt about it," Lavrov
    said in his remarks to the Munich Security Conference.

    "Iran was attacked a couple of times in recent history. Iran did not
    attack anybody," he added.

    Lavrov linked the settlement of the Iranian nuclear dispute to
    resolving other crises hotspots in the Middle East, among them
    Palestine, Iraq, Afghanistan and Lebanon.

    "We cannot afford tackling the Iranian nuclear program in isolation by
    ignoring what is going around this region, including between Israel
    and the Arab states," he added.

    Meanwhile, the Russian official urged the international community "to
    find a technical fix" to the issue of the Tehran research reactor.

    "It could really make a difference and could really create a new
    atmosphere," Lavrov said.

    He emphasized that a long-term solution to the Iranian nuclear
    stalemate should take into account the overall Mideast security
    architecture.

    Good observation Haykakan. It is all speculations at this time but we already knew that this jet will incorporate stealth features and most probably will be close to the F-22. Normally a lot of radar signature reductions redesigns get completed during actual test flights. One of the many reasons why the aircraft is not being produced in numbers yet and why it will not be ready for delivery for several years.

    For example the picture bellow shows how different the prototype YF-22 looks from the current operational F-22.




    Here is a stealth alignment comparison between the two that has been circulating on the Net:

    T-50


    F-22


    If this is the start of the Sukhoi T-50 then the finished product will be pearl.

Anyways, first flight is scheduled for this year and the first units will enter squadron service somewhere around 2015. India, who is financially contributing to the program, will also receive a downgraded version of the PAK-FA.

    Well looks like the wait is over buddy. the T-50(?) just made its first flight. Nice looking bird. Must be a prototype for now until she gets all her trimmings.

    Congrats to the PAK-FA team.
