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 Georgian Relations
Sorry for google translation, don't have time to correct but you will get the drift anyway...
How happy lazy Georgians are now at our expense!
Armenian businessmen prefer Georgia
According to the Service of a public registry of Georgia with the participation of Armenian citizens only on January 1 last year there were about 100 business entities, reports Business Georgia.
"From 1 January 2010 with the participation of Armenian citizens in Georgia were about 100 companies. Among them, 70 - a limited liability company, 3 branches, 24 private entrepreneurs, as well as several nonprofit organizations. In terms of business registration in Georgia is quite active and Citizens of Turkey, Azerbaijan, India and China "- the lawyer of the Agency of Public Registry Tamar Tsiklauri in an interview with broadcaster" PIC ".
Recall that recently in the Armenian media reported that the head of "Grand Holding" Hrant Vardanyan also intends to transfer its business in Georgia because of tensions with the Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan and Foreign State Revenue Committee Gagik Khachatrian.
Meanwhile, he Sarkisian denies differences with Vardanyan. Moreover, he said that the information that Armenian businessmen prefer to move their business in Georgia inflated simultaneously urge the media to publish specific data that the Armenian government could do research and to identify the reasons why Armenians prefer to own home in Georgia. Apparently, Prime Minister of Armenia, the only person in the country who does not understand the reason for this trend.

“Armenia is 19 years old,” Yirikian says. “Look 10 to 20 years from now (before making a judgment on progress). What is important is the vision in the long run. It is not enough to love your Armenian identity. You love your identity by giving your best effort (to make change).”
We all want a rich, independent and strong homeland but we have to be patient. As one former member (Armenian) of this forum put it:
"We need a political evolutional, not a revolution"
If we don't show the patience and opt for a quick solution, we risk losing our independent country once and for all.
I am afraid this is the language of a “spiritual leader” (kahana) to the poor who he “knows” will
never make it to at least a descent level of dignity (financially) and worst of all he has no solution for them,
so he then switches to “hamperutyun” and “poor will go to heaven and the rich ........ bla bla bla”.
I grew up as a refugee so I know it.
Revolution does not mean bloodshed.
If you have a revolutionary idea it does not imply bloodshed to implement it.
Solutions are of no value (revolutionary or not).
Text books are full of them.
No different than say medicines in a pharmacy.
The task is the diagnosis ( the root cause) of the problem.
Then Convince the patient what is wrong with him.
Then Convince him that this is the right medicine for him.
Then Convince him that he has to take it however bitter the taste of the medicine is.
Then if he refuses you force upon him “for his own good”.
THEN “hamperutyun”
Results always take time and are never continuously progressive, there are always setbacks BUT
you know the course is correct ( you have faith in it / the people are with you).

Regarding the oligarchs, I share your concerns however I would want you to be more rational in this issue as well. I don't know what you've been taught during your history classes but all developed nations in this world have gone through the same "growing" pains that we are experiencing now. Just a century and a half ago there were "oligarchs" here in western europe. They all enriched themselves by exploiting the working class majority. This didn't change in a day or two and the change didn't come from politicians but it evolved from the society. The change came from the rich themselves who began doing something back for society with the money they earned. That's why I agree with people who say that our current government is the reflection of our society. We as a society have not developed that mindset which places national interests above personal interests. This is one of the consequences of not having an independent state in more than six centuries.
Please bear in mind that our republic is only 20 years old. It's not fair nor rational to compare Armenia to any developed country. In the 20 years of our young republics existence we have experienced hardships which most countries don't experience in a century or more. After all this, it's a miracle that we even have an independent homeland. Now back to the oligarchs, in short we need a lot of "Ralph Yirikian's" before this situation changes. Please if you have the time read this post by Federate about Ralph Yirikian:
http://forum.hyeclub.com/showthread....l=1#post303554.
I will come to this later .Politics is not about the pursuit of morality nor what's right or wrong
Its about self interest at personal and national level often at odds with the above.
Great politicians pursue the National interest and small politicians personal interests

Many Armenian bloggers now days have jobs and sometimes businesses which makes them travel to Georgia several times a month and they always mention that they either come across very little corruption or none at all.One of the bloggers actually implied that corruption towards Armenians still exists while others opposed it.
Inchevice, nranc corruption anhamemateli e merini het.
Just like you can't compare clever, hardworking and talented Armenians with lazy, jealous Georgians.
Saaka might be a good tie eater but he does make efforts to develop his country.

Many successful people immigrate out of the country.
Wikileaks:
4. (C) Alexanian, who voted for Sargsian, said mounting economic uncertainties initially inspired his emigration plans, prompting him and his business partners, two of whom are his brothers, to diversify their real estate development business outside of Armenia. Alexanian said doing business in Armenia is increasingly "tough," and opened his arms wide to show how many licenses he had to obtain this past year before he could begin development of a small hydropower facility in southern Armenia. He vented that "one never knows what new laws will be passed," and that this factor is damaging to his present and future business plans. He was frustrated that Russian business partners with whom he invested in commercial real estate in Yerevan last year have now suspended their plans to develop the property in light of YEREVAN 00000375 002.2 OF 003 the political crisis. Alexanian also lost a business associate to emigration one month ago, to Canada, who also took his wife and young family. One of his brothers immigrated to Prague last year, and Alexanian has visited the Czech capital four times in the past 18 months to assess real estate options there. He said once he finds the right property to buy in Prague, he will take his wife, who is employed in Yerevan by the British internet firm Lycos, and his five-year-old son to begin a new life in Prague.

Re: Armenian Georgian Relations
Anyway, why is it so quiet at Wikileaks, guys? Everything about Armenia is there. Those are immediate issues to be discussed, changed. I know, it all has left many speechless but if we don't want to witness end of Armenia we have to do something now...
