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.

    TERRITORIAL INTEGRITY DOES NOT MEAN INALTERABILITY OF BORDERS, ARMENIA'S DEPUTY FM STATED

    There have been statements following the meeting of the Armenian
    and Azerbaijani Presidents in Saint Petersburg that there is certain
    progress towards the settlement of the Karabakh issue. Asked to comment
    on this, the Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia, Shavarsh Kocharyan
    said: "Over years we have been hearing about "open windows" and "golden
    opportunities." The fact that no real progress has been registered has
    its reason: it is the non-constructive position of Azerbaijan. On one
    hand the Azeri authorities threaten to apply military force, on the
    other hand they sign a declaration on non-use of force. On one hand
    they deny the existence of the "Madrid Document," on the other hand
    they declare that Azerbaijan has adopted the "Madrid Document." On
    one hand they sit at the bargaining table, on the other hand they are
    busy with transferring the issue to other international structures and
    searching for mediators," Shavarsh Kocharyan said in an interview with
    "Aravot" daily.

    Shavarsh Kocharyan considers that the predictions about the rapid
    solution of the issue are groundless. "Such statements pursue certain
    internal political purposes. It's not serious to think that such a
    complicated situation could be settled with just one step. It8 0s
    impossible. Of course, there may be some documents in the future that
    will reflect the initial approaches, but the parties are not ready
    for that today," the Deputy Foreign Minister declared.

    According to him, Azerbaijan lays the emphasis on territorial
    integrity.

    "However, in case of self-determination, territorial integrity does
    not mean inalterability of borders. All the states and international
    structures involved in the settlement process have been declaring about
    the necessity of applying all three principles of international law,
    i.e. self-determination, territorial integrity and non-use of force."

    The solution proposed by Azerbaijan envisages autonomy for Nagorno
    Karabakh within the jurisdiction of Azerbaijan. "Naturally, it is
    impossible and Azerbaijan has to realize that there is no way back. No
    one will yield security guarantees in exchange for vague promises. As
    for the referendum, it was held still in 1991 in accordance with the
    norms of international law and USSR legislation; Nagorno Karabakh is
    a de facto full-fledged state. The mediators suggest a new referendum
    as an option of mutual concessions. It will be worth speaking about
    a new referendum only when Azerbaijan stops using the negotiations
    as a cover for imposing unrealistic approaches, which means accepting
    Nagorno Karabakh as a full party to the talks. It's impossible to reach
    a solution bypassing the status of NKR," Shavarsh Kochary an stated.
    "All truth passes through three stages:
    First, it is ridiculed;
    Second, it is violently opposed; and
    Third, it is accepted as self-evident."
