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.

    Yes, Armenia is not going to attack Iran for sure. In that regard, Armenia will try to stay out of such conflict together with/or apart from Russia, but that doesnt mean that Armenia would not support Iran since possible collapse of Iran is not desirable for various reasons. I believe that the possible assault on Iran is not yet determined though it might have been planned by now. I dont think that the US could include ground forces to such assault since they dont have enough of them. However, if they decide to initiate air-assaults on Iran, then those US soliders in Iraq will be subject to possible counter-assaults by Iran, and some 150 thousand units deployed in Iraq would not be enough if one wishes to confront a country like Iran. So, I am not sure as whether the US would prefer to attack Iran or not since the success of such assualt embodies too much strategic risks, and we can not be sure how the US values each risk involved.
    I agree for the most part but any support for Iran by Armenia will be limited; theres not much they'll be able to provide. As much as Armenia and Azerbaijan hates each other, they'll both be f###ed up big time if the U.S. foolishly strikes at Iran in any capacity. Public sentiment in the U.S. is starting to move (albeit slowly) against Bush and his neo-con cronies.

        From the intial news regarding the Aliyev visit to Washington, Azerbaijan is reluctant to provide logistical help (bases) for a US attack on Iran but nothing is 100% certain. I think everyone in the region understands that Iran will be their neighborhood for the long haul and the US will eventually lose interest (which is what is going to happen in Iraq). Turkey will not support any action and neither will Russia. If Azerbaijan does cooperate with US and provide airstrips for a US attack (which I doubt they'll do), I wonder how that will effect Turkish/Azeri relations.

          Yes, Armenian support for Iran will be limited, and it would not involve direct help to the USA.

          The public of the USA is involved in other crucial problems such as the new illegal migrant laws, rise of Hispanic feelings, a weird project to build the largest getto walls on the Mexican borders, and so on. So, Iran could also be used as distraction to ease the tensions at home. Interestingly, the USA gets more marginal after each international confrontation, and she seems to take more risk than she used to.

          In fact, I believe that Iran is not an enemy that one should confront when seeking dominion over others, but the options of the USA gets more and more risky as the time passes by. So, it is really unclear what will happen.

            The U.S. is on a decline at the moment, and I personally think that with all the domestic problems the United States in facing in addition to George Bush's record-low 32% approval rating the Americans are now going to think twice before they go xxxxing up other nations. It took a lot of bungling to make Americans (or should i say, Neo-Conservatives) realize they are not invulnerable.

              As the time goes by, I think the US will face more problems at home rather than abroad. So, I agree with your assertation.
