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.

    People start talking about 'revolution' like it's some sort of game. One should understand the immense amount of turmoil revolution can bring to a country. A revolution in Armenia (which would be by Levonakan Western Agents) would be an utter disaster and would give a green light for a war to start in Karabakh. Revolution shows division and weakness. Armenia has been improving in many aspects. Just compare Armenia to our neighbours or other ex-Soviet states and we are doing pretty well. For example, I have an Armenian friend who lives in Moscow, and he says that in Armenia there's much more freedom than in Russia. In Armenia, people can say whatever they want about the President/Government, down to the worst curse. The media fairly covered all the sides during the elections and the judicial process and steadily improved, even better than Russia's. I won't even talk about Azerbaijan which is a full blown dictatorship, and in Georgia it's a facade of "democracy" but in reality being controlled by Saakashvili and his thugs. We are improving at a good pace, and calling for revolution and such talk is truly uncalled for.
    this revolution talk crap is feeding off poor people's frustrations. 2008 march 1's events shows us that the unthinkable could indeed happen. The euro wussies/the juice/turks hope to destroy Armenia from within.

      Do you have anything to back that up with comrade (like a reliable source) other than your USphobia and hatred of anything that is not Russian?

        I think there is a misunderstanding. When I say revolution, I don't mean people waving around pitchforks and burning stuff down. I simply mean a political change that is outside traditional method (outside of elections). This is necessary because , with the current system, any change will first have to go through the approval of a certain group of people (the ruling administration and the oligarchs), meaning that there is no political change at all. I call it a revolution because 1. it would be a big deal and 2. It would in all likelihood not be a very long process.

        I am clear on the fact that this is not a game. But real change can only happen in this way.

        @Armanen: Nobody calls it the "American War of Indepence." It is reffered to as the "Revolutionary War." Again, not argueing about this. I don't lnow why you put Armenian in quotes when referring to me. I'm pretty sure you don't doubt my heritage. You probably mean that the mentality I advocate for is not the one that you agree with. This does not change the fact that I am Armenian.

        I can't help it that you are OK with a sub-standard quality of life in Armenia. You think you are doing your country a service by showering it with compliments. But your not. You are placing limitations on Armenia. That is what you are implying when siding with the current government and oligarchy. You're wrong. Armenia can be a great nation. It can have net immigration instead of net emmigration. It can be promising to investors. It can provide the same standard of life as the West. But it will only achieve those things with rule of law. The oligarchy and ruling family has special status in Armenia. The hundreds of businesses in Yerevan are owned by a handful of people. This is simply uncompetitive.

          From my point of view Sarkissian is the best president Armenia has ever had.....he would get my vote if I was in Armenia. I also see Armenia being on the right course and I am aware that change doesn't just happen over night.

          Look at the neighbors.....who is more reasonable

          Erdogoon
          Shaka
          Aliyvoor
          or Serj

            Don't want to get into a political argument but people I've spoken to are frustrated and would love to leave. I've heard of much corruption. Just a day ago our driver said he had to pay his sons teachers so he could attend college. Life is good for the few who are well off and those bringing their money from elsewhere. When I've asked about starting a business here, I was told to wait until there's less corruption because it makes it extremely difficult to succeed at this time. Potential invesstors are indeed scared; I am one and I am. :/

              I agree with you. Sarkisian is relatively better than the other presidents that Armenia has had. Comparing Georgian and Azeri inferior leadership to Armenia's is laughable as well. Ergodan is probably a different story. Turkey was a backwards country till AKP party took power. As much as I hate to admit it, Recep is a great leader. All his moves are calculated. Even the slight Islamism that he brings to Turkey's otherwise "secular" insitution is meant to endear other Muslim nations.

                    I hear the same thing here and I am sure it is very hard but when you look at international conducts the President has acted very well in the interest of Armenia. I also see alot of small good changes in Armenia and things usually get worst before they get better.

                    With that said Armenians in Armenia would have a better feel of the pulse of their government.
