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: Is Armenia that bad

    Due to the Armenia-Turkey match and events following, there were some news reports, interviews and stuff concerning Armenia on Turkish TV channels in the last week. On one of these reports I watched, when asked an Armenian professor explained his monthly salary was $50. It was very hard for me to believe. In my country a professor earns between $2000(state university) - $4000(private university) monthly and we are also considered an undeveloped/developing country. Then I read more about Armenia's economy and from what I understand Armenia is very very poor and none of the governments or diaspora have done anything to make it better.

    Also there are more and more illegal Armenian immigrants coming to Turkey to work. The situation seems to be serious.
    He's somewhat right you guys... there aren't a lot of jobs available in Armenia and the pay for an average person is pathetic to be honest. In my opinion, the government is in a tight situation for the time being and cannot support the people too much. I am disappointing in what the diaspora have done. They fled from Armenia in harsh times and made something of themselves. I think more people of the diaspora need to return to Armenia and benefit the situation. I'm not saying that people don't help... but I think it would do a great thing for the economy and the people if more people in the diaspora return to Armenia.

        What do you guys think? Is it that bad?

        If it is then we should be ashamed because I would be.
        Well I went to Armenian awhile back & the whole prostitute thing is on one specific street & the whole country is run by the mafia. So yes its bad but on the other hand, its a 3rd world country & its gonna take a very long time for them to fix it all up.

            people say prostitution is the oldest work in this world. concerning armenia there is prostitution now and has been also during the soviet era, but so far I've been there several times, but I've not seen of them making proposals like in the west, probably they work on 'bouche a oreille' basis. concerning me all I can say is that when I sit at a street cafe and I prefer the desert ones, I find myself fifteen minutes later surrounded by people watching me like I was a martian and of course can't tell if there are hookers among them

              Armenia, along with all of the other former soviet countries are second world.

              I have heard nothing but great things from anyone who has gone there this past summer, all of whom wish they can go back.

                Armenia is not counted as a second world country. Look it up.

                  Armenia is certainly not 3rd world, anyone who tells you otherwise has an agenda or is a complete moron.

                  It is an industrialized nation, which had some bad luck in the late 80s and early 90s, earthquake, war, closed borders, etc. but irrespective of all this the past 8 years have brought Armenia in many aspects to the pre 1989 levels and in certain sectors are leaps and bounds ahead. Therefore Armenia is in between 1st and 2nd world, but these categorizations are bs anyway.
                  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.
