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.

    Azeri pundit calls for suspending western pipeline to resolve Karabakh

    Yeni Musavat, Baku
    24 Jul 06

    Excerpt from Cavid Turan's report by Azerbaijani newspaper Yeni Musavat
    on 24 July headlined "The Qabala radar station and Baku-Ceyhan should
    be closed" and subheaded "Vafa Quluzada says that this should be
    done to liberate Karabakh and call the enemy by its name" and also
    subheaded "Leyla Aliyeva says that the reason why Armenia is not
    called an aggressor is related to historic factors"

    Efforts are being made again to make the Azerbaijani and Armenian
    leaders meet after another round of unproductive peace talks. It
    causes concern that the co-chairmen are now focusing on persuading
    Azerbaijan to make concessions to satisfy Armenia.

    [Passage omitted: UN resolutions on Armenia's withdrawal from Azeri
    lands]

    Political analyst Vafa Quluzada believes that the reason why the
    international community does not call Armenia by its name [of an
    aggressor] should not be related to the foreign policy flaw of the
    Azerbaijani government.

    "They will not recognize Armenia as an aggressor no matter what Baku
    does," Quluzada said. He mentioned the support of the entire West for
    Israel in the Middle East crisis and added that the West sometimes
    speaks about human rights abuses and "excessive violence".

    "Azerbaijan is a small country. The West does not want to spoil
    relations with Russia because of this small country. We should
    remember that the West is interested in Azerbaijan as a strategic
    place only. Our country will be of no importance to the West after
    it sucks dry our oil and gas," Quluzada said.

    He said another reason why Armenia is not properly dealt with is
    religion. The enemy is Christian and therefore supported.

    "On the other hand, Russia incited Armenia to fight us. Thus, Russia's
    being part of the Christian world gives Armenia another advantage."

    The political analyst believes that Azerbaijan must be capable
    of influencing the West. "Azerbaijan must establish a mighty and
    professional army and set specific terms to the enemy. It should
    declare that it will suspend the Ba ku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline if
    the Azerbaijani territories are not liberated. Maybe then, the West
    will force Armenia to implement the UN resolutions. If we become a
    developed country, we can close down Russia's Qabala radar station
    [in northwestern Azerbaijan] and suspend oil supplies to the West
    to have the enemy labelled as an aggressor and withdrawn from our
    territories. But Azerbaijan must have capabilities to do it. We must
    spend oil money to develop the non-oil sector so that we can dictate
    our position in future."
