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.

    Mher you are operating under the misconception that mods visit this forum, read what we post, and care about making this a good place for people to communicate...you really gotta work on getting rid of your false assumptions.

    To the Moderators of the Forum:

    Would it be possible to combine this and the Current Condition of Armenia thread since they discuss the same topic

    Maxx HyeJeans, Made in Armenia clothes
    Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

    a Syrian-Armenian started a company of promoting made in Armenia clothes, employing 25 people

    A little something for the typical:
    (1) It's hopeless in Armenia, start a business in Armenia and the mafia will come asking for its cut/burn down your business/ [Insert bullsh*t statement]
    (2) Conditions are horrid in Armenia for Syrian Armenians, they are ill treated, they can't wait to leave
    (3) Armenia has no self-pride, and the market is sure to be dominated by Turkish made goods

    someone currently in Armenia would be better suited to answer, but it seems about right to me

    INFANT MORTALITY RATE IN ARMENIA SLASHED BY 16 PERCENT OVER THREE YEARS TO 9.8 CASES PER EACH 100,000

    YEREVAN, February 7. / ARKA /. The infant mortality rate in Armenia
    has slashed by 16 percent over the last three years to 9.8 cases
    per each 100,000 children, down from 10.7 in 2012 and 11.6 in 2011,
    Karine Saribekyan, head of the maternal and child health department
    of the health ministry said today.

    Speaking at a news conference she said the number of maternal mortality
    has dropped by 17 percent when compared to 2008-2010, when the rate
    was 23.2 per 100,000 women during pregnancy, childbirth and after
    it. In 2013 the figure was 19.2.

    She attributed the decline to a string of government-financed programs
    to detect asymptomatic diseases at earlier stages.

    According to the National Statistical Service (NSS), 411 cases of
    infant mortality were reported in 2013, down from 458 in 2012. Also
    last year 41,770 babies were born, up from 42,480 in 2012. -0-

    This has nothing to do with capitalism or socialism.
    There are capitalist countries that are corrupt an not so corrupt.
    The same for socialist countries, it all depend on governance.

    What is ( laughably ) pathetic is he says we will get the leaders ( or the heads ) forgetting him and the guy sitting next to him
    are the “heads” therefore fully responsible for state affairs.

    .
    No i got it all fine and i agree with what you are saying about the "heads". I also agree with "it depends on the governance" but my point is capitalism leads to the oligachical structure which is the root of this issue.

    However whilst it is obvious that Serge is pushing the blame on to HIS incompetent prime minister,
    he is also showing lack of leadership by not replacing HIS prime minister for failing to deliver after four years but
    instead insisting he should deliver.

    Just pathetic.
