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.

    When Russia creates a de facto border with Javakhk/Armenia Right now if you did not hear, Georgia is cutting gas supplies to Armenia so you can imagine the situation if they close the border altogether.

      Several reasons:

      1) Due to Armenia's bad economic and political health no serious effort has been taken to arm and/or organize the Armenian population in the region.

      2) We don't know what the final outcome of the current war between Russia and Georgia will be. Getting directly involved may make Armenia totally isolated politically and economically.

      3) Unlike in Nagorno Karabagh, Russia has never signalled that it would support Armenia's claims on Javakhq.

      4) Armenia currently has serious domestic problems (Levon supporters, western pressure) and economic problems (transition economy, blockade, curruption, isolation, etc.)

      5) Armenia endangering Georgia's south would force Turkey and Azerbaijan to get invlved, thereby triggering a wider international conflict.

      6) While the case for Ossetia and Abkhazia has been made for many years, out case for Javakhq has remained out of international discussions.

      Thus, expecting an Armenian front in Javakhq would be grossly unrealistic/foolish, at this point in time.

        The impression I get from the leadership of most Kemalists/secular Turks (especially the generals in charge of the coups) is that they are pro-US and especially pro-Israel. The Islamists are generally the ones that are anti-US and anti-Israel.
        Becoming pro-USA or pro-russian because of your ideology(kemalist or islamist no different.) is stupidy. Some people should learn do not mix inner politics with international politics.

        Also, kemalists are also Pro-USA(More than islamists.) Kemalist army never did any coup without USA permission and most pro-USA, NATO and israel organization in Turkey is army.

        By the way, This is not a bad thing. What can we gain allying with russia? Oh, maybe russia can sell ROA but not a big gain If you ask me. Our and russian benefit is not generally goes some way.(except trade.)

          No, I am not kemalist
          I am independent from politic movements.

          Kemalists never wanted to be near US.

          By the way, only Russia assisted Turks when we were fighting against to Greeks, anglosaksons(Britons), Frenchs to get our independece. They gave us weapons only Russia helped us during period of 1920-1923(Turkish Independent War- fail of treaty Sevres)
          and Russia recognized new Turkish state first. Ataturk had said many words about well Turco-Russian Relations.. .it went on until second World War. (Ataturk was not alive, died in 1938)

            I agree. As much as we would all like to see Javakh attached to Armenia, Armenian has given very good reasons for Armenia and Javakh to wait and see. They should do and Sun Tzu says; think fast and wait. Moving to fast will make Armenia and international pariah. They need to build up their case for the outside world.

            In the meantime, they can cause problems for the the BTC pipeline, and the new railroad, as well as organize their militias. They can also get a more bold, and try to force the remaining Georgian population to get uncomfortable so they will leave.

            Armenians in Javakh and maybe even Artsakh are not assured of Russian support.

              do your history knowledge limited only with 1920?

              and much important, what the hell, history and international politic is related. Nations are not friend or enemy of each other. You should forget such romantic ideas. Remember, Ottoman-Russian wars.

                Today , Army is complately controlled by goverment so it is not important being kemalist and all army generals are not really Kemalist. Such as Kenan Evren who was military leader, made military coup.

                    heh, they were in the past.

                    Why do I choose US and J E Ws ? ? ? It is very stupidly. Also United States provided Kurds to set up Kurdistan in North Iraq whic is a real danger for Turkey's territorial integrity!

                    and gives money and weapon Pejak which is PKK's other wing. So they help PKK!

                      Say it to my ass. Just one year before, They tried to make a coup and just one one weak before, They(This time with the help of courts) again tried to get AKP down.

                      I should also say, If army is not kemalist, they are not even 1% kemalist in Turkey. Not much important.

                      Anyway, What is relation with becoming a kemalist and becoming a pro-russian? is this a default?
