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.

    Russian Military to Hold Over 1,000 Drills in June-October


    The Russian Armed Forces will conduct over 1,000 command-and-staff and tactical exercises during the summer training period from June to November this year, the Defense Ministry said.

    The summer training will focus on improving interoperability of all branches of the Armed Forces and efficient use of automated battlefield management systems, the ministry said in a statement on Thursday.

    The training will be carried out on average 2-3 times a week with the emphasis on weapons proficiency and driving skills.

    The training period will culminate with the Kavkaz-2012 large-scale strategic exercises in southern Russia and North Caucasus, which would also involve Abkhaz and South Ossetian military units.

    In addition, Russia will hold about 50 joint military exercises with foreign countries, including the Slavic Commonwealth – 2012 with Ukraine and Belarus, the INDRA-2012 with India and the Selenga with Mongolia.

    The Russian Navy will traditionally take part in RIMPAC, FRUKUS, Northern Eagle and Blackseafor international naval drills.

      From and Azeri source: Everyone better consult with Putin...actually, Azerbaijan better watch out

      Baku. Anakhanim Hidayaova – APA-Economics. Russian President Vladimir Putin considers that, any decision on Caspian Sea must be passed on the basis of consensuses of Caspian 5 countries, said Yuri Ushakov, an advisor to Putin on foreign policy, APA reports citing Russian media.

      Interpreting the outcomes of 29th Russia-EU summit, held on June 3-4, Ushakov noted that, EU’s urgent position on Transcaspian gas pipeline obliged Putin to explain the legal condition around the Caspian Sea: “Any decision on Caspian Sea must be passed on the basis of consensuses of Caspian 5 countries. Otherwise, these decisions will be illegitime. EU must take this point into consideration”.

          Russian envoy: foreign military bases in Afghanistan arouse questions

          September 21, 2012 - 09:07 AMT


          PanARMENIAN.Net - Russia wants to know what is the purpose of foreign
          military bases that will remain in Afghanistan after the completion of
          the U.S.-led antiterrorism operation in 2014, Russia's UN envoy Vitaly
          Churkin said, according to RIA Novosti.

          `Contradictory statements that foreign troops will be withdrawn from
          Afghanistan in 2014, but the foreign military bases will remain there
          raise a number of questions,' Churkin said.

          NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) plans to hand
          over responsibility for security in Afghanistan to the Afghan
          leadership by the end of 2014, as decided at the 2010 NATO summit in
          Lisbon.

          Churkin said that if the antiterrorism operation was completed in
          Afghanistan then the purpose to keep foreign military bases there
          would be different and Russia wanted to know the aim for maintaining
          the bases.

          `If the fight against terrorism continues [after 2014], the UN
          Security Council will have to extend the mandate for this operation,'
          the diplomat added.

          The international coalition in Afghanistan has lost more than 330
          troops killed so far in 2012, according to ISAF. The foreign troop
          contingents are scheduled to withdraw by the end of 2014.

            Վախճանվել է ՌԴ պաշտպանության նախկին նախարար գեներալ Պավել Գրաչովը
            Սեպտեմբեր 23, 2012
            Այսօր մերձմոսկովյան՝ Վիշնևսկու անվան ռազմական հոսպիտալում 64 տարեկան հասակում մահացել է Ռուսաստանի պաշտպանության նախկին նախարար, բանակի գեներալ Պավել Գրաչովը։ Նա Աֆղանստանում պատերազմի մասնակից էր, Խորհրդային Միության հերոս, ԽՍՀՄ օդա-դեսանտային ուժերի հրամանատար։ 1991թ. օգոստոսյան պուտչի ժամանակ անցել էր Բորիս Ելցինի կողմը, և հետագայում համարվում էր վերջինիս մերձավոր զինակիցներից մեկը։

            1992 թվականի մայիսի 7-ին Գրաչովը նշանակվեց Ռուսաստանի պաշտպանության նախարարի պաշտոնակատար, իսկ արդեն մայիսի 18-ին` նախարար։ Պաշտոնավարել է մինչև 1996 թվականը, երբ Ռուսաստանում նախագահական ընտրությունների շեմին և առաջին չեչենական պատերազմում ռուսների անհաջողությունների ֆոնին ազատվեց պաշտոնից։ Պաշտոնաթողությունից հետո աշխատել է ĞРосвооружениеğ (այժմ` ĞРособоронэкспортğ) ընկերությունում՝ որպես խորհրդական։

            Պավել Գրաչովն իր պաշտոնավարման ժամանակաշրջանում էապես նպաստել է նաև հայ-ռուսական ռազմական համագործակցության հաստատմանն ու ամրապնդմանը, ինչը նաև խթանվում էր նրա և Վազգեն Սարգսյանի անձնական մտերմությամբ։ Շատերը Գրաչովի անվան հետ են կապում նաև Հայաստանին վաճառված սպառազինության Ğռոխլինյան ցուցակըğ։ 1999 թվականից Պավել Գրաչովը Երևանի պատվավոր քաղաքացի էր։

                Russia installing S-400 anti-aircraft missiles to target Turkey

                Russia is installing an advanced anti-aircraft missile system in its southern military region in reaction to Turkey’s deployment of a NATO missile system, a report says.


                Russian Col. Igor Gorbul said the army will complete the installation of S-400 anti-aircraft missiles by the end of this year, the Turkish daily Hurriyet reported on Wednesday.

                Gorbul also stated that the new missiles can destroy ultra-stratospheric and ballistic missiles and all types of airplanes.

                NATO’s missile system has been established in Turkey’s East Anatolia region.

                The Hurriyet report comes several days after Turkish fighter jets forced a Syrian passenger plane heading to Damascus from Moscow to land in the capital Ankara.

                The aircraft carried a group of Russian nationals among the passengers.

                Turkish Foreign Minister Ahmet Davutoglu said the aircraft was grounded based on information that it might be carrying “certain equipment in breach of civil aviation rules.”

                However, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said, “There were, of course, no weapons on the plane and could not have been any. There was a cargo on the plane that a legal Russian supplier was sending in a legal way to a legal customer.”

                  Russia has begun installing a new state-of-the-art anti-aircraft weapon system in its southern military region with an eye toward targeting Turkey in response to a NATO missile defense shield outpost that was recently established in East Anatolia, daily Hürriyet reported.

                  The installation will be completed by the end of this year, said Russian Col. Igor Gorbul, adding that the S-400 anti-aircraft missiles were capable of destroying all types of airplanes, as well as ultra-stratospheric and ballistic missiles.

                  Turkish-Russian tensions rose last week after Ankara forced down a Syrian passenger plane en route from Moscow to Damascus on suspicions that it was carrying weapons, but Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov moved to defuse tensions by saying the country’s bilateral relationship would not be damaged by the incident.

                      I'm no military expert, but I think its because it would create too much international attention and tip the military balance too far in favor of Armenia. They have yet to sell them to any foreign nation I believe. I think even if they were to be deployed in the Russian bases in Armenia, or Armenia was to purchase them, Armenia would try to keep it a secret, similar to the S-300 years back. Unlike our baboon neighbors we do a good job of revealing only a fraction of what we have and do, unlike the baboons who not only reveal everything, they even talk of things which they have no access to and no potential to ever get.
