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.

    Re: Consequences Of Attacking Iran And Why Tehran Is Not Worried

    Israel, U.S. exacting date of attack on Iran

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Al-Siyassa Kuwaiti daily quoted sources in Washington as saying that the date of an Israeli and American attack on Lebanon and Iran is approaching.

    According to the sources, preparations for the attack were coordinated during recent frequent visits by senior Israeli officials to the U.S., and that Israeli Chief of Staff Gabi Ashkenazi has got a green light from President Bush to carry out an extensive air and ground attack against Hezbollah. The sources added that this attack, which could be in late September or early October, would be a prelude to an expected attack on Iran in November or December.

    It was also reported that the Israelis informed the Bush administration about the transfer of surface-to-air missiles from Iran to Hezbollah, that the missiles had already been positioned in the Beq'a Valley and at the foot of Mt. Lebanon, and that all Hezbollah missiles were deployed in extensive areas of the country.

    Also according to the sources, Syria was refraining from arming Hezbollah with similar missiles that it and Iran received several months ago from Russia. They said that in recent talks in Turkey between Israeli and Syrian representatives, Syria had received guarantees that it would not be attacked, and at the same time the Syrian representatives announced the removal of a surface-to-air missile network from the western mountain chain bordering Lebanon, placed there out of fear of an Israeli aerial attack.

    Kayhan Iranian daily, which is close to Iranian Supreme Leader Ali Khamenei, stated that the frequent trips by senior Israeli officials to Washington attest to Israel's fear of concessions being made by the U.S. in light of Iran's increasing demands, and that these trips were unplanned and not routine, MIGnews reports.

    Blogger opines that attack on Iran would start a regional war in the Middle East and lead to political and economic turmoil in the U.S. http://www.truthdig.com/report/item/...f_destruction/

    Journalist discusses competing views - one, that attack on Iran will precede Bush's exit as president in January as forwarded by Seymour Hersh - the other view, possible attack remote because economic consequences greatly outweigh any potential benefits. http://online.barrons.com/article/SB...lenews_barrons

    True...it was a stupid thing to do as it cheapened the psychological message that they wanted to convey.

    WEST THREATENS AZERBAIJAN WITH “ORANGE” SCENARIO

    The U.S. doesn’t need the stability Aliyev has maintained for many years in Azerbaijan, RBC reports. “Ilham Aliyev is undoubtedly the favorite for the October 15 presidential election while the opposition forces announce that they boycott the election. The Communist Party and Azaldyg bloc has already refused to join the campaign. If Democratic Party follows their example, the republic will face a serious political crisis. The fact is that the U.S. needs an unstable Azerbaijan on the threshold of war with Iran,” the article says. Aliyev was officially nominated by Yeni Azerbaijan party last Saturday. According to expert Alexey Vlasov, Baku is considering a possibility to empower Aliyev with lifelong presidential commission. “The project of referendum is being elaboration,” he supposes. “Ilham Aliyev has secured Azerbaijan’s pro-western line, what forced the U.S. and Europe to turn a blind eye to authoritarian regime. Now, the U.S. needs destabilization, according to Oktay Aksoy, analyst at Foreign Policy Institute. “Preparing for a war with Iran, the ideas of formation of Great Azerbaijan are treated seriously. Aliyev, who doesn’t wish to plunge into adventures, can be threatened with an orange scenario,” the article says.
