[edit] Lachin corridor

How does Lachin corridor correspond to Lachin raion? `'mikka (t) 23:51, 30 June 2006 (UTC)

I would say the corridor itself is the path between the nearest approaches of Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh - about 4 km apart, of an arbitrary width. I think all of Lachin could be considered the corridor. "Lachin corridor" does not have a specific boundary, it's simply the shortest path between Armenia and Nagorno-Karabakh. --Golbez 02:21, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
Meowy, we have discussed this before. Karapetyan is a well known known Armenian nationalist and is not a reliable source. Please cite a third party source that Berdzor or Kashatag were ancient names of the region. Grandmaster (talk) 04:44, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
Yes it has, and you arguments are unconvincing. The source is valid, as is the information. What are your motives in questioning the origin of the name? Are you actually saying Lachin has been the name of this region for all time! Meowy 20:35, 13 May 2008 (UTC)
It did not have any name. The district of Lachin is the Soviet creation, and the city was founded in Soviet times too. How could they have any old names? This is just invention of Armenian propaganda to justify the claims on Azerbaijani lands. Grandmaster (talk) 04:26, 14 May 2008 (UTC)
You stated on the Lachin talk page that you accepted that Lachin had an older name (Ardalar), yet here you claim the opposite, that the settlement never had any old names. If you want to lie about things, at least try to be consistant. Meowy 23:43, 16 May 2008 (UTC)

Meowy, same problem here as in Lachin article, the reference you use is not neutral. In addition, I found another good reference to the fate of Azeri Turks and Kurds in the region upon Armenian occupation. Atabek (talk) 06:06, 14 May 2008 (UTC)

And the same for you as for Grandmaster. In saying that the reference "Armenia: A Historical Atlas", published by the University of Chicago Press, is not neutral, your arrogance and blatant propagandising knows no bounds. The removed text "and has been renamed Kashatagh, the district's name during the late-medieval period", which was fully referenced using page numbers in the above work, will be re-inserted.
