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.

            Reminds me of the strategy used by xxxlery stores. They double their prices then have a 50% off sale to make the sale look significant when it is not. This is designed to drive home the advantage of joining the union and to make it seem more desirable.

              Armenia is already on the path to joining though, is this really necessary
              considering it doesn't cost Russia anything to not go through with it, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense

                Report: Russia to let Armenian migrants stay longer

                Russia has reportedly agreed to make an adjustment for Armenian citizens allowing them to stay in Russian territory longer than citizens of other countries enjoying a visa-free regime.

                According to Russia’s REX news agency, it was decided to amend Article 4 of the 2000 visa-free travel agreement for citizens of Armenia to be able to stay in Russia for 150 days within every 180 days.

                Officials in Yerevan have not yet confirmed this information.

                If confirmed, however, the decision is likely to come as a great relief for hundreds of thousands of Armenians staying and working in Russia after this country enforced a new law on January 1 under which citizens of countries with non-visa regimes are not allowed to stay for longer than 90 days within every 180 days.

                The law caused a lot of discontent among those citizens of Armenia who earn their living by doing seasonal work in Russia. Secretary of the National Security Council of Armenia Artur Baghdasaryan wrote a letter to his Russian counterpart, expressing a hope that Russia would reconsider the regime for citizens of Armenia.

                If applied, the new regime will mean that Armenian citizens working in Russia will be able to stay in Russian territory for five months, after which they will have to leave the country only for one month (instead of three) before returning and staying in the country on a legal basis.

                  Figures Show Thousands Applied for Armenian Citizenship in 2013

                  YEREVAN (Armenpress)—More than 21,000 people applied for and acquired Armenian citizenship in 2013, the head of Armenia’s Police Department for Passports and Visas, Norayr Muradkhanian, reported. A significant proportion of those who applied were foreign citizens – most commonly French, Russian, American, and Georgian – who were of Armenian descent.

                  Any person of Armenian descent can acquire Armenian citizenship. Furthermore, anyone, regardless of heritage, can acquire Armenian citizenship with three years of permanent residence in Armenia and basic knowledge about the Armenian Constitution.

                  Muradkhanian says that so far, the numbers in 2014 look to be outdoing the previous year’s numbers by a wide margin.

                  Muradkhanian elaborated that 82,383 applications for ID cards and 20,279 for biometric passports have been registered in January-February of the current year. In addition, the police colonel emphasized: “The main part of the applicants’ passports are still valid, but despite this our compatriots want to get biometric passports.”

                    The more you read that report, the stranger it seems.

                    We are told that "More than 21,000 people applied for and acquired Armenian citizenship in 2013"
                    We are also told that "A significant proportion of those who applied were foreign citizens who were of Armenian descent".

                    If "significant proportion" means a large amount but not the majority, who comprised the majority proportion?

                    Does the report mean that the majority of those 21,000 people who acquired Armenian citizenship were foreign citizens without Armenian ancestry, or that a far far greater number than 21,000 people applied for Armenian citizenship, with the vast majority of applicants being persons with no armenian ancestry, but that almost all of those who ended up being given citizenship were people with Armenian ancestry.
