This article definitely needs to be rewritten. The region (Lore in Georgian) historically belonged to Georgia and after Georgian-Armenian War 1918 because of known facts of english, russian and turkish influence became the part of Armenia. Look at the map of Russian empire 1828-1840 from the Wikipedia article about Armenia: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/3/3a/ArmenianOblast.jpg Other historical references will be provided soon!

- I cleaned-up this article a bit. It is difficult to say that Lori was a "historical region of Georgia" or a "historical region of Armenia" because, historically, it was always disputed between both nations, being part of the Armeno-Georgian marchlands. In any case, it doesn't matter because this article is not describing a historical region, but a present-day province of Armenia which is not claimed by Georgia.
- If anything, Wikipedia should be a place for cooperation among nations and people, not a place for nationalism and/or irredentism. Mqinvartsveri (talk) 12:51, 9 June 2008 (UTC)
