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.

  • Countries that supply Armenia's armed forces

    So of course Russia is a major supplier, but my question is from who else do we get weapons and technology? Only Russia?

    It's great to get their weapons at a cheap price, but shouldn't we diversify the places from which we get military weapons? Getting some from countries like France, China, or Greece. Which all have their own superb military technologies that we could well use alongside Russian technologies.

    Armenia cannot afford to arm her forces that way because they do not give us weapons for free or cheap like Russia does. Armenia is a dependent state it cannot survive on its own and needs Russias help. That said we do buy some weapons from Belarus, Serbia and other countries but not in any big quantities.

      We have four WM-80s from China and I think Albania secretly sells us weapons as well. Years ago, there was a scandal where Turks intercepted an Albanian arms shipment that was going to Armenia. Ukraine is a big arms exporter as well so I wouldn't be surprised if we have Ukrainian weaponry too.

        So we should only get free weapons? Why not buy some expensive weapons? We really could use some of the sophisticated Western weapons.

        Wow Albania? Out of all the places, I wouldn't expect Albania to be arming us...You have a source for that? I'm just surprised we don't get more sophisticated Western weapons especially from countries like France and Germany with which we have close ties (esp France). Or from Greece and Cyprus. Or is that Russia doesn't allow us to get weapons from anywhere else but them?

          Arms from France and Germany are too NATO style for our army which is mostly Russian based. Not too mention they are much more expensive and that Russia might not like it that we turn to the West for arms as well. For example, we buy from Serbia cause they are not yet in NATO and they are good friends of Russia. It's just economical/political reasons.

          As for Albania, check the first few links in this Google result http://www.google.ca/search?q=albani...ient=firefox-a

              So you are saying that Armenia should not buy any other weapons because they are not as cheap as Russian weapons. I disagree, we should continue to get arms from Russia, but supplement that with other expensive and advanced weapons from the West.

              @Federate, It's one thing to use different rifles for all the soldiers, but I'm talking more about air defence, drones, vehicles, and so on.

                We should buy Chineese Fighters if Russia doesn't want to give us Mig 29s.

                  I can't even buy a nail clipper that doesn't break by the time I get to the 9th finger since they started making them in China and you want to buy Chinese aircraft?
