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: Elections in Armenia

    Am glad to see Serj win . I know it seems like more of the same BUT he seems like the only one that won't sell the country for a dollar or a promise .
    Watched the Hovanisian PR and had trouble telling him from virtually any American politician . Promise you anything and everything . Again , he struck me as smoke & mirrors all the way . It's easy to promise the poor , it's easy to promise the elderly , it's easy to promise the hungry .
    If Armenia wants a billion dollars today or 10 billion dollars by the weekend that is no problem . All Armenia needs to do is tell America they are ready to take America's lead and we can have brand new freshly printed money FAST !
    I am relieved Serj won .

      So am I.
      I cannot face change.
      Lets have more of the same.

      Enough said lets move forword whatever that means.
      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.

        Perchance you have misread me . I can face change . I find change desirable from the undesirable things taking place today .
        My concern is that those candidates who spoke of change , and clearly defined objectives either seemed to be Trojan horses groomed by outside forces or would negotiate with the enemy and other forces to obtain their prosperity goals .
        In my opinion this offer of prosperity is the " carrot " that the wrong side tries to " lure " us with !
        I think even the best intentioned of the candidates would succumb to the EXTREME hardball politics and the big hitters playing that ball .
        Serj is showing to be exceptional !
        In his term look how far we've come . Actually surprising advances , considering the situation .
        I know the oligarch thing is ugly and debilitating . My fear is the man who comes in to clean house of the oligarch problem is the one who brings in western ambitions which is even worse than our oligarchies by a long shot .
        We are hamstrung right now, we can't move to fast at this moment .
        But we can understand what needs be changed and identify the actions we need to take in preparation to make these changes , this we can do now .
        If the operation kills the patient ...

          Serzh Sargsyan ready to meet Raffi Hovannisian

          February 20, 2013 - 15:41 AMT

          PanARMENIAN.Net - At Feb 20 rally in Yerevan’s Liberty Square, former Armenian presidential candidate, Heritage party leader Raffi Hovannisian will say whether he met with president-elect Serzh Sargsyan.

          “Mr Hovannisian is a man of principle, he is a true patriot. He won’t lead his people to new challenges. Instead, he will offer a civilized method of struggle,” Heritage party member Anahit Bakhshyan told a press conference.

          Presidential spokesman Armen Arzumanyan, in turn, noted that Serzh Sargsyan stands ready to meet with Raffi Hovannisian.

          “The president of the country is always ready to meet with the leaders of the political forces. Now, too, the president stands ready to meet with Raffi Hovannisian,” Mr Arzumanyan told Panorama.am.

          On Feb 19, Mr Hovannisian gave president-elect Serzh Sargsyan one day to admit his mistake before the law and the Armenian people.

          “He will receive people’s forgiveness in that case. People have won, every one knows this. I hope Serzh Sargsyan will admit my victory and the victory of Armenian people,” Heritage leader said.

          Otherwise, the party leader expressed readiness to hold a rally at Liberty Square and keep it till the end.

          He further said he will possibly address the court with a demand for election recount.

              Typical politition indeed. No class or dignity. Just the kind of redneck you would expect to find in many places across the USA. Right or wrong does not matter to these people-the only thing that matters is if they win or make a couple of dollars. You can tell a lot about a mans character by looking at how he handles defeat.

                      If this is going to be a repeat of 2008, it's going to turn off many people. I disagree with Raffi announcing himself President-elect, we can't know that and every poll before the elections projected Serge to win yet he is claiming overwhelming victory. He should have instead called for annulments or recounts or to hold new elections.

                      The rally itself is disappointing. Raffi's mandate as opposition leader is stronger than LTP (he actually got more votes than that scum did in 2008) yet there's only max 10,000 people at his rally with observers saying 5,000.
