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.

    Russia cuts sea links with Georgia
    By Indo-Asian News Service on Monday, August 11, 2008

    Sea links between Georgia’s Black Sea port of Batumi and Russia’s Sochi port have been cut, the deputy head of the Russian Black Sea port said Monday.

    “We have temporarily suspended sea links with the port of Batumi. According to the information at our disposal, the port of Batumi is closed,” Simon Mamaladze said.

    Moscow’s action came in the wake of hostilities between Russian and Georgian armies after Tbilisi ordered its troops into Russian-backed separatist province of South Ossetia.

    An estimated 2,000 civilians have since died in south Ossetian capital Tskhinvali and 34,000 reported to have fled into Russia.

    Russia also suspended Monday postal communication with Georgia.

    “Currently letters and parcels to Georgia are not being accepted due to a suspension in air links,” Yelena Laskina, a spokesperson for the Russian communications ministry said, adding the suspension was also affecting money transfers between the two countries.

    Russia’s transport ministry said earlier that air links with Georgia, had been suspended from Aug 9.

      Abkhazia launches major military operation in Kodori Gorge

      Abkhazian troops have started an operation to squeeze Georgian troops out of Kodori Gorge. The information was confirmed by the Georgian Defence Ministry, which said the operation was launched at 0600 Moscow time on Tuesday.

      Abkhazian Foreign Minister Sergey Shamba said that, before Tuesday, the Abkhazian Air Force and artillery had been delivering missile and bomb strikes on military targets in the upper part of the Kodori Gorge. Units of regular troops and reservists of the armed forces of Abkhazia are taking part in the operation on Tuesday.

      On August 10, Abkhazian President Sergey Bagapsh announced partial mobilisation on the territory of the whole republic - and imposed martial law in the eastern part of Abkhazia for a period of 10 days.

      Shamba said that the time given to the Georgian side for the voluntary pulling out of the gorge expired on Tuesday morning.

      In July 2006, Georgia deployed its military units in this part of Abkhazia and created a military foothold there.

      Meanwhile, Russian peacekeepers and Abkhazian forces have organised a humanitarian corridor in the Gali district on the Georgian-Abkhazian border.

      “Georgian troops are fully blocked in the upper part of Abkhazia's Kodori Gorge,” said Mirab Kishmaria, Abkhazia’s Defence Minister. “We offer a humanitarian corridor for all of them to leave. If the Georgians don't use this opportunity, an operation for their elimination will begin.”

      The Georgian residents from neighbouring areas are invited to a special refugee centre in the town of Gali.

      But for the moment Georgian troops have closed the humanitarian corridor.

        New Georgia clashes mar UN moves

        source: http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/europe/7555359.stm


        Russian-backed rebels in Abkhazia say they have begun an operation against Georgian forces, as UN moves to achieve a ceasefire failed to make progress.

        The rebels say they are trying to push Georgian forces from a strategic gorge in the west of the breakaway province.

        France's president is visiting Russia and Georgia on Tuesday, despite Russian criticism of a new draft UN resolution.

        In Georgia, troops have withdrawn to positions around the capital, Tbilisi, to defend against any Russian assault.

        Reports say that Russian troops now control many key bridges and roads across Georgia, leaving the capital isolated.
        Many residents have been stocking up with food and fuel, and correspondents in Tbilisi say there have been clear signs of panic and confusion in the city.

        US President George W Bush meanwhile has strongly attacked what he called Russia's "invasion".

        Mr Bush said the Russian actions in Abkhazia and the other breakaway province of South Ossetia were "unacceptable in the 21st Century" and that Moscow was guilty of a "dramatic and brutal escalation".

        ******************
        Let's face facts: Georgia is gasping for air right now. Why would the Russians send this amount of force into Georgia if they didn't plan to take the capital? Moscow is making the right move in rejecting these bullxxxx western treaties/cease-fires and should accept nothing less than unconditional surrender from Georgia.

              f@ggots! I hate those scum so much!
              For the first time in more than 600 years, Armenia is free and independent, and we are therefore obligated
              to place our national interests ahead of our personal gains or aspirations.

                  I doubt that seriously.

                  I think everyone is too lazy, cowardly and selfish to get off their azzes and fight for what's theirs.

                  Now I fully understand why an Armenian guy in Lebanon joined Hezbollah.

                    Russia's short-term objective is to destroy Georgia's military infrastructure and to some degree also the economic infrastructure. Georgians have always been irrational and untrustworthy people so, no more guns for them.

                    They are also fuking thiefs stealing our petrol that comes to Armenia through their territory. They claim that they need that fuel because of the war, but when our people ask why don't buy it from your Azeri friends they hang up the phone on them. Did you also know that they have a two separate custom rules? Azeri companies and individuals pay less than Armenians do. In some cases they make Armenians pay twice as much.

                    At the moment the Javakhq Armenians will neither fight for nor against the Georgians. They are going to be neutral but they will have to provide people if requested. However I don't believe any of them will see actual fighting as the Georgian army is already petrified of the Russians and will not engage in fighting under any circumstances.

                    Javakhq is a very delicate case, which needs a careful handling. We live in 2008 which is wastly different to 1988 when Artsakh stood up. The ground work in Javakhq is already laid, and it's very solid. Our next move should be the internationalisation of Javakhq's situation. But right now the name of the game is waiting.
