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: Presidential elections 2008 in Armenia

    Some relatively good news...

    Armenia opposition leader joins government
    Fri Feb 29, 2008 9:44am EST

    YEREVAN, Feb 29 (Reuters) - An Armenian opposition leader agreed on Friday to head the president's security council, dealing a blow to protesters hoping to secure his support in calling for a rerun of a presidential election.

    Thousands of demonstrators have been protesting for 10 days over the Feb. 19 election of Prime Minister Serzh Sarksyan. They say the election was rigged in his favour and hoped opposition leader Artur Baghdasaryan would help fight for a rerun.

    "I asked Baghdasaryan to head the security council," Sarksyan told a news briefing. "It's the third or fourth highest post in the country."

    The Security Council is the president's advisory body and its leader is among the highest-ranking officials in the country.

    Baghdasaryan told reporters: "I would like to thank the newly elected president for the concrete offer made to me of such a responsible position."

    His agreement with government is unlikely to halt the protests. The opposition's main leader is former president Levan Ter-Petrosyan, who came second in the election with 21.5 percent. Baghdasaryan came third with 17.7 percent.

    Baghdasaryan had held negotiations with Ter-Petrosyan but they failed to agree to team up against the election result, which Western monitors described as flawed but broadly in line with Armenia's international commitments.

        Great strategic move by the current administration, both domestically and internationally. (y)
        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.

          Everyone outside of Armenia is useless to the situation.

            so damn weak? Usually those who can't stand up to criticism, those who are unable to justify themselves for their beliefs and actions when thrown the right, penetrating questions, rather than physical threats or blackmail, tend to be the frailest.

            anyway...

              Good point, well, you know the rule of the thumb, if its the British its not the Americans, if not the Americans the British, if not both, then the French, and if not the French, maybe the Russians?

                They're all a part of the same system, so in the end it does not matter who it is.

                  Finally some good news... now I can go to sleep...

                  Armenian riot police break up election protest



                  Armenian riot police used truncheons to break up an opposition protest in the capital Yerevan on Saturday, witnesses said. Several thousand opposition supporters had been protesting daily since a February 19 presidential election was won by Prime Minister Serzh Sarksyan. The opposition said the vote was rigged to deny them victory. A Reuters correspondent in Freedom Square, scene of the protests, said it was now surrounded by several hundred riot police who were blocking access. A spokesman for Levon Ter-Petrosyan, the opposition leader who had been leading the protests, said riot police moved in at 7.30 a.m. (0330 GMT) on Saturday when some protesters were holding an overnight vigil in the square. "They came, they beat people up and they removed everyone," said Arman Musinyan. A police spokesman said he was unable to make any immediate comment. A man near the square, who did not want to give his name, said he had been with the protesters when the police arrived. The man's finger was broken. "We were asleep. They came and they started to beat us up. They had truncheons," he said. Authorities said earlier their patience was running out with the protests. Sarksyan and his close ally, the outgoing President Robert Kocharian, said the opposition was abusing its right to protest and hampering normal life in the city. Observers from the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe said the February 19 election broadly met Armenia's commitments on democracy, though there were some flaws.
