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.

        Velvet revolution starts in Armenia – opposition

        April 28, 2011 | 19:24

        YEREVAN. - A velvet revolution has started in Armenia, said Levon Zurabyan, member of the opposition Armenian National Congress.

        Speaking at a rally held in Armenia’s capital Zurabyan noted that after three years of repressions the authorities were urged to realize that they cannot but reckon with the ANC.

        “People are slowly taking control of domestic political processes,” Zurabyan said adding that we are witnesses of rapid developments.

        Oppositionist called on the participants to continue struggle against “criminal and oligarchic regime”.

        The participants welcomed seven ANC activists who still remain under arrest.

          I watched the rally this morning and it was same old usual crap with opposition inflating numbers and a state of apathy even among the people there. Highlight of the rally was Aram Manukyan saying that 200 people are leaving Armenia daily and then correcting his figure to 200-250, all the while forgetting that during LTP rule 1000 people were leaving on a daily basis. Lots of comparisons to the Arab revolutions by the speakers and some called for similar steps to be taken. Next rally scheduled for May 30.

            Sargsyan to Ter-Petrosian: Checkmate?
            April 28, 2011 - 8:58am

            Watching the interplay between Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan and opposition leader (and ex-President) Levon Ter-Petrosian is often like watching two men playing an intensive game of chess.

            Sargsyan made a move yesterday, on the eve of yet another Ter-Petrosian rally in Yerevan, and it was all about good vibrations.

            In April 27 comments, Sargsyan commended Ter-Petrosian's Armenian National Congress and friends for " ongoing rallies [and] speeches that are not aimed at splitting society, that are not aimed at developing the notions of smashing or destroying, [and] are aimed at shifting the political struggle to certain podiums," RFE/RL reported.

            Three years ago, the government painted quite a different picture of the ANC and pals. In the past few weeks, though, with Middle East uprisings as a backdrop, the government has pledged a more thorough investigation of the police response to the 2008 demonstrations, and has granted the ANC access to Yerevan's Liberty Square for its April 28 rally.

            One commentator noted that if Sargsyan grants all of the ANC's requests, the movement eventually "risks losing a significant part its supporters."

            In his usual deadline-setting style (and, some would argue, anticipating Sargsyan's moves), Ter-Petrosian had earlier defined April 28 as the date that would mark either "the beginning of dialogue" between the opposition and government or "the final watershed between the authorities and the public."

            Which one will it be? Your move, Levon.

              Serzh is doing the right thing in being open to the opposition. In one way, him doing that, weakens the opposition and betters the public opinion about him. I really can't stand the hypocrisy of the Levon movement - if only Levon was as kind as Serzh during his presidency.

                  Because removing hims will make him more of a threat than he is right now; If you remove him you give him power and legitimacy but if you ignore it and start destroying him by improving the points where he attacks you, you finish him of for ever.

                      Women to form 30 % of Armenian government


                      May 18, 2011 | 18:07
                      YEREVAN. - Armenian Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs submitted gender policy for 2011-2015 to the government, informs government official website.

                      The ministry notes that despite gender equality secured by the Constitution, women in Armenia still face hidden discrimination. Attitude towards women in the Armenian society does not meet internationally accepted norms. Armenia is behind many European states on the level of poverty and participation in the governance.

                      The program provides measures to increase women’s participation in legislative and executive bodies to 30%.
