[edit] Oldest people on the planet?

"It is now confirmed that Ingush together with Chechens and Batsbi are the oldest people on the planet. Current linguistic and DNA analysis revealed that around 10,000 BC they inhabited the territories of Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Turkey, Iran, and Iraq. (Source: Science Journal 19 May 2000, Vol288 No.5469 p.1158)"

Are we meant to take this seriously? How on earth can there be any sensible definition of what is the "oldest people on the planet?" How can linguistic analysis say anything about events 12000 years ago? Does anyone know anything about this "Science Journal" which is supposed to be the source of this? The claim looks like rubbish to me. --Barend 16:56, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

Childish interpretation. Deleted until clarification. `'mikka 19:45, 7 January 2007 (UTC)

"However, much of Ingushetia's territory had been settled by Ossetians and part of the region had been transferred to North Ossetia. The returning Ingush faced considerable animosity from the Ossetians. Violence flared in late October 1992, when tens of thousands of Ingush were forced from their homes in the Prigorodny District of North Ossetia."

What the h#@l is that? The author of this rubbish should be punished! Where are the proof and evidence of the alleged Ossetian violence against Ingush people? --User:Taamu 19:21 (UTC), 9 February 2007

I fully agree with you, Rudi. But it is the encyclopedia, so we have to provide truthful and reliable information. -- "The returning Ingush faced considerable animosity from the Ossetians. Violence flared in late October 1992, when tens of thousands of Ingush were forced from their homes in the Prigorodny District of North Ossetia." -- Both Ossetians and Ingush have their own vision of the problem. But here we have only Ingush point of view. This passage is based on an ideological source. And it is not neutral. -- User:Taamu 17:13 (UTC), 10 February 2007

User:Taamu I understand that you are an Ossetian and I understand how you feel about the topic. However, I did some research on Ossetians and Ingush and the information is correct. I don’t think University of California, Berkeley represents Ingush point of view. I know they are following the US educational guidelines. FYI also view the link http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ossetian-Ingush_conflict. It will help you to understand the reality of the conflict.

Thank you very much, Rudi. I guess you are not an Ingush. Apparently, you chose one way to realize the Ingush-Ossetian Conflict -- to do research basing your work on someone's thoughts, point of views, opinions, data [University of California, Berkeley]. And it's a completely different way to understand the problem being the witness of the conflict. I don't want you to change anything in the article, I just want it to include the opinions of the two sides. -- Taamu.

There are more than two sides in the conflict. There are actually six sides: the Ingush, the Ossetians, the Russians, the Chechens, the Georgians, and the Americans. Should I include their poits of view also? Thanks, Rudi.

Why not, if it helps to solve the problem or for its clear understanding, Taamu.

For an excellent work of fiction which focusses sympathetically on the plight of the Ingush people I recommend "Our Game" by John le Carré, the eminent author famous for his spy stories during the Cold War —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 88.110.44.122 (talk) 12:37, 21 March 2007 (UTC).
