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.

    Aliyev: Yerevan belongs to Azerbaijan

    Aliyev: Yerevan belongs to Azerbaijan
    Mon, 28 Jan 2008 22:21:20


    Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev
    The Azerbaijani President says Yerevan, the capital city of Armenia,
    was part of Azerbaijan which was ruled under a feudal system.

    During a recent visit to a border region, President Ilham Aliyev said
    that historically Yerevan and 135 nearby villages had been part of
    the Azerbaijan Republic and belonged to the nation, IRIB reported,
    citing Azeri news agencies.

    He claimed that in 1918, the Azerbaijani rulers had permitted the
    ethnic Armenians to settle in the region but they had 'betrayed the
    Azeri and forced them to leave the region'.

    Earlier, the Azerbaijani mission to the European Council filed a
    petition, calling for Yerevan and its nearby villages 'to be
    returned' to the Azerbaijan Republic.

    Aliyev had said that Armenians were guests in Yerevan, during a visit
    to a border area on January 17 and that the war with Armenia was not
    over.


    The remarks may further strain ties between the two neighbors which
    fought a war over their territorial disputes in 1988-1999.

          What's the likelihood for such childish claims to be taken seriously by the EC??? Do you really think that the Armenian - or non-Armenian - authorities take into considerations such inept claims? This is not the first time that they utter total non-sense.

          How can such absurdities be taken seriously to have an impact on reality?
          Apparently, the author of the article has the "same" "sense of humor" as Aliev????

            It is Revan. It is neither Azeri nor Armenian city. "All Turks were exiled" doesn't mean it is not Turkish. Little history search can help you.

                If there is a political need to take it "seriously", they'll take it seriously.

                    Re: Aliyev: Yerevan belongs to Azerbaijan

                    Karabakh Commentary: Aliyev’s threats must be taken seriously
                    Special to ArmeniaNow By Jirair Haratunian
                    Past Chairman of the Armenian Assembly of America Board of Directors

                    One of Armenia’s top generals, Colonel General Seyran Ohanian, recently cautioned that Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev’s frequent threats to resume war against Karabakh and Armenia must be taken seriously. Aliyev’s latest foray was a proclamation that “War with Armenia is not over; only the first stage is over.” He added, “Nagorno Karabakh will never be independent.” Aliyev’s bellicosity aside, his regime budgeted one billion dollars this year to modernize and train its military forces. That billion dollar military budget is what prompted General Ohanian to caution that Karabakh’s and Armenia’s security problems are real.

                    Flushed with oil revenues, Baku’s diplomatic posture regarding Armenia and Karabakh has become publicly arrogant and uncompromising. Unfortunately, American indulgence towards Baku has served to embolden Aliyev. Washington views Azerbaijan as a strategic asset in its confrontation with Teheran over Iran’s growing nuclear capacity. Coupled with this are the massive investments, largely sponsored by Washington, for the new Caspian pipelines that carry petroleum and natural gas to Western markets from Azerbaijan through Georgia, to Turkey. These, of course, circumvent Armenia and were designed to bypass Russian territory. Washington’s motives are as much political as economic. Proof of this were statements made in Baku by Senator Richard Lugar, Republican from Indiana and minority leader of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, who asserted, “The long term (American) interests are not to allow Russia to be dominant in the South Caucasus and Central Asia.”

                    Little wonder then that Azerbaijan believes geography and abundance of oil will ultimately succeed in imposing its will on Armenia and Karabakh, and confident enough to threaten war with impunity. It must be said though, that United States and European diplomats have cautioned Baku, perhaps too mildly, against renewed warfare. They have in mind, of course, that the billions of dollars invested in Caspian oil production and delivery could be jeopardized in the event of a new conflict. Also, during their last visit to the region, the co-chairmen of the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) Minsk Group cautioned that war would be devastating for both countries. Instead, they lobbied for their latest written proposal as the best basis for an agreed framework for peace negotiations.

                    Where the Karabakh problem is heading is hard to discern. But what is clear is that Azerbaijan continues a ceaseless political and economic offensive against Armenia on multiple diplomatic fronts. Currently, the Nagorno Karabakh question has been inserted onto the agenda of the United Nations General Assembly. It is part of a resolution submitted by the GUAM coalition of states comprised of Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan, and Moldova, to condemn the independence efforts of Nagorno Karabakh and other frozen conflict regions of the former Soviet Union. Ironically, this movement coincides with a contradictory effort led by the United States that calls for the independence of Kosovo. Its supporters repeatedly claim that Kosovo is a unique case that needs prompt resolution. They assert that Kosovo is not a precedent for other unresolved separatist conflicts. Russia disagrees and the Secretary General of the Council of Europe, Terry Davis, is unsure. He told the news agency Trend that it is very hard to predict the influence of the declaration of independence of Kosovo on Nagorno Karabakh and other “frozen conflicts.” In any event it appears certain that Kosovo will be declared an independent state in the near future despite Russia’s objections, without a UN Security Council endorsement and, even the unanimous concurrence of the European Union.

                    Is Kosovo a precedent for Karabakh’s independence? The answer is ambivalent. Nonetheless, Baku is fearful of Kosovo’s independence because it strengthens Armenian claims, and Armenia has said that the Nagorno Karabakh question is predicated on its own historic roots. However, there are more similarities than differences between Kosovo’s circumstances and Karabakh’s. Each emerged as a result of military actions that defeated Serbian and Azerbaijan armed forces. It took a NATO force to expel Serbian forces and the Nagorno Karabakh Republic was created through the victory of its own security forces. In both instances oppressive regimes that ruled over ethnic minority regions were expelled. New governmental processes were instituted in both regions. However, in Karabakh its new republic resulted from the free will and independent actions of its citizenry while in Kosovo NATO authorities still exercise oversight and control over the levers of government.

                    Thus, whether or not Kosovo constitutes a precedent in the eyes of Kosovo’s western supporters, they will be hard pressed to choose between the validity of one over the other. In the end, it is principle not precedent that should and hopefully will determine Karabakh’s future.
