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.

    Don't forget foreign civilians who wish to purchase land or house. Of course Armenian government won't break this contract liberally, however, fact remains fact that it has the ability to terminate the lease and thus deprive the company/person of that land. Why didn't the government just let the land be under the name? Well, in my opinion, it's to prevent rich Turks/Kurds from buying large areas in Armenia (for example if the border was opened), at least when they do so, they don't own the land officially, and that's a big thing. And this also gets back to the migration policies.

      It can be done however the state would be compelled to pay some form of token compensation and seize the land and property under a premise.

      A lease is a legal title and not even governments can't completely flout the rule of law. Since the courts may rule against them and make no mistake. The courts have the power to order the arrest of even government ministers.

        First of all Armenia isn't some developed EU country. It's a post-soviet country with still a good amount of corruption and legal loop holes. If you have the money/acquaintances you can do anything you want in Armenia. There have been cases where rich people and powerful people have done something bad (like murder) and gotten away with it as they had the resources to quiet the courts. It's all about connections and relatives.

        A lease in the end of the day is a legal contract, and if the government really wants it can find a suitable "reason" and break the contract. The courts naturally will follow if the government is intent on getting back that land.

          Armenia isn't Zimbabwe and land seizure would place the government against all sorts of powerful intrests. Which is not a safe place for the ruling junta to be politically. What is more even if the the courts are a rubber stamp. They would interpret this sort of thing, as a direct challenge to the judiciaries authority and they won't like it at all.

            I'm sure Armenian government can come up with a reason to take the land if needed. Yeah it's not Zimbabwe, but it's still corrupt. Plus the courts are in the hands of the government. I highly doubt the judiciaries are thinking about their authority rather they are thinking about their pockets which the government can very easily fill. And all this is under the table of course. Plus I'll be interested to know the land policies in other developed countries.

              what is to stop Turkish businessmen in the future buying long leases and the Armenian government not being able to take the land back, because of political pressure from Turkey, or the from investors themselves?
              Turkish businessmen could have the same power as Armenian oligarchs have today

                this is probably for another thread but the Dashnak party has had both a positive and a negative role. Negative, because most party bosses regarded the interests of the party above those of the Armenian people, so they didn't care if the nation became divided in the process. But generally Armenian political parties in the diaspora behaved in a very primitive way, in some ways acting more like social clubs than political parties - learning little from the democratic systems of countries where they were situated

                  Not much and if I where you I'd force foreign residents to rent. As non-Armenians should not be allowed to privately own either the titles or leaseholds to land or property. Otherwise the chances are that Armenia's establishment will sell the Armenian peoples inheritance out to foreign intrests.

                    In relation to what, property seizure, usage or ownership? Much depends upon the legal system and property rights are subject all sorts of laws (even in Armenia).

                    Contrary to what you seemingly think. It's not easy for the state to legitimately confiscate property or strip people of titles without awarding compensation.

                    Robbing foreign property investors is the sort of thing that Turkish 'property developers' do. However this really isn't smart and it certainly won't make them any friends.

                      At least the Turkish companies would not own the land, plus I doubt Turkish companies/business would succeed in Armenia.

                      I look at more their politics, I understand the social clubs and cultural awareness that they have spread and that's all good, and I give credit to them for that, as it's important to have the diaspora at least be aware of Armenia and its politics.
