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: Armenian-Turkish Relations

    I am pretty sure they will be ratified. A lot of work by many people has been done to get to this point plus preparations are already being made on the assumption that borders will open. I dont think the kind of money being spent on preparations would be spent unless this was a done deal. The kharabagh resolution should follow quickly probably like Armanen said but i am hopefull we can hang on to some of those 5 regions.

      The union between Russia and Belarus is not likely to happen anytime soon, the two nations are not very eager to become a true union. The most important aspect of the union is the military one, which is essentially done already as both are CSTO members and share much military intelligence in regards to the European front.

      The chances of the azeris joining the Union is about as likely as the u.s. being allowed to join the SCO.

      The likely outcome is that azerbaijan will agree to give up Artsakh and a land corridor linking Artsakh with Armenia, in return Armenia will give up 5 of the 7 regions around the NKAO. This may anger some but if it will ensure that Armenia has open borders, becomes a regional transit hub, and doesn't endanger the people of Armenia and Artsakh than it is a good trade off.

      However, it is too soon to really be talking about any of this, afterall, there is a chance the protocols will not be ratified by either parliament.
      In terms of national security, it is a definite loss for Armenia, giving up its most strategic positions for keeping Azeris from invading Artsakh and Syunik.

        Once these deals get done we wont need to worry about the azeris attacking for a long time. As i said before the Azeris would have already attacked us if it was not for russia despite us holding the strategic positions now. I am hopefull we will keep some of the more important strategic positions but once we start doing business things will change between our people. Business has a way of mending wounds, we will see how this goes.

            At this point I also think that. Which is why I said 'and doesn't endanger the people of Armenia and Artsakh'.

            This is something official Yerevan will have to consider very deeply and stress to the great powers the dangers of forcing Armenia to give up these lands without clear and definite measures that will ensure the safety and security of Armenia and Artsakh.
            For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
            to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

                    The signing of the Armenian-Turkish Protocols in Zurich provoked Azerbaijan’s immediate reaction. We will hardly exaggerate if we call this reaction confusion or, to be precise, a panic.

                    Azerbaijani Parliament MP Gudret Hasanguliyev called Turkey’s step a betrayal of Azerbaijan, pointing out the step was “imposed on Turkey by the West”.

                    “Azerbaijan is cornered and has no way but join the Russia-Belarus union. I think Azerbaijan can defend its territorial integrity within this union only,” MP said. Pointing out the wrong policy of the Turkish authorities, Hasanguliyev proposed reviewing Azerbaijan’s policy towards Turkey: “Azerbaijan sells gas to Turkey at a price three times as low as the world market price. We turned Turkey to an oil and gas transit country.”

                    A 11-member group of Azerbaijani MPs will leave for Ankara October 13, the Azerbaijani APA news agency reports. They intend to meet with both Turkish officials and oppositionists and express their concern over the Protocols signed on Oct 10.

                    Azerbaijani political analysts also commented on the recent developments. Vafa Guluzade, seeing a U.S. scenario in the latest developments, calls for working out a new competent policy.

                    Don't believe everything you hear, and only half of what you see. The Azeri's (top leadership) know more about the protocols than our very own s sarkisyan. Any move by Turkey is a move for Azerbaijan...always will be. Anyone who trusts a racist Turkish government, such as what they've had for 100 years now, is a fool. Anyone who is willing to go against the greater Armenian peoples wishes, to appease / give in to the same government is not caring about our future one bit.

                    Anyone else notice how whenever a foreign leader comes to Armenia or the Armenian president goes to a foreign event/meeting, the Armenian President has a visit to Moscow the next week?

                      Armenian-Turkish Protocols To Confirm Kars Treaty

                      YEREVAN (PanArmenian.net)—If signed, the protocols on establishing relations between Armenia and Turkey will give legal power to the treaty of Kars, signed between Kemalist Turkey and the Soviet government on October 13, 1921, according to Arman Melikyan, the former Foreign Minister of the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic.

                      The fifth clause in the first protocol establishing diplomatic relations between the two countries requires “the the mutual recognition of the existing border between the two countries as defined by the relevant treaties of international law.”

                      The only relevant treaty defining the de facto borders between the Republic of Armenia and Turkey is the Treaty of Kars, signed between Turkey and Bolshevik Russia, as well as the Soviet Republics of Georgia, Azerbaijan, and Armenia. Armenia, as vassal state at the time, was forced to relinquish its rights to the treaty of Sevres and cede control of Nakhichevan and Nagorno Karabakh to Azerbaijan. The treaty was not reconfirmed following the collapse of the Soviet Union.

                      “The Kars agreement stipulated the acknowledgement of borders between Turkey and the Caucasian states: Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan. At present, the protocols specifies only the Republic of Armenia’s de facto border with Turkey,” Melikyan explained, adding that Yerevan should “annul the Kars agreement, and then continue its negotiations with Turkey.”

                      Melikyan added also that neither Azerbaijan nor Georgia have acknowledged their borders with Turkey, thus automatically annulling the agreement. As a result, Nakhichevan, which was given to Azerbaijan by the Kars treaty, legally does not belong to Azerbaijan.

                      According to Melikyan, Armenia will find itself at an unfavorable position vis-à-vis Turkey if it signs the protocols. “I don’t want such fate to befall our country,” he said, adding that Armenia will be at the mercy of the Turks if the Kars treaty is indirectly ratified through the protocols. “We have to clarify our relations with Turkey.”
