Closing the Border with Armenia

Today someone wanted to remove a phrase about the closing of the border. While it is "only" a capital of a border province, the info is significant as the railways to Armenia from Kars were closed after the shut down of the border. But the info was present twice, once in the very lead and once under transport. So I moved the phrase down from the lead to transport and adapted the phrase a bit.

Grand Mosque of Kars

Do we have sources on the burning other than Turkish source. The current sources are only Turkish news media articles. Maidyouneed (talk) 01:31, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

Could you do us a favor and translate those Turkish articles into English using Google Translate? Dominator1071 (talk) 17:33, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

::It is not that we can not use google translate, its the source is Turkish. It is forbidden for the Turkish media, to report about the Armenian Genocide as we have multiple articles on Wikipedia which treat people being sentenced by Turkey for reporting or just speaking about it. The Turkish media are suspicious and not seen as reliable regarding the Armenians. A source from a Western (Europe/USA) University accepted by the majority of the academic world would be better to source this.Paradise Chronicle (talk) 19:55, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

:::Indeed it is not about the language. It is about the sources themselves. They are all only very recent Turkish news media articles newly describing a very old event. 3 out 5 are the same article, 1 out of 5 looks down (memurlar). All of the sources are republishing news from elsewhere, acting as news portal/aggregators; They are not the actual news sources themselves. The articles are describing a recent exhibition put on by the then Mosque Association president which isn't a reliable source in itself. That these are all only Turkish sources in regards to the Armenians around the time of the Armenian genocide also challenges their reliability. Maidyouneed (talk) 22:18, 7 August 2020 (UTC)

Armenian name

Why is the Armenian name of the town included? These have been Turkish and Kurdish lands for a thousand years. Articles on Greek islands that were Turkish territory a hundred years ago are not allowing Turkish names to be included! Double standards seem to be at play. Someone explain it logically please. Dominator1071 (talk) 23:21, 15 August 2020 (UTC)

:Please don't duplicate comments like this on multiple pages. But since you are doing this, I will copy my answer from Talk:Van, Turkey#Armenian name:

::As a general rule, Ottoman names should be given for former parts of the Ottoman Empire now part of Greece, as for example in [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chania#:~:text=Ottoman%20Turkish%3A%20%D8%AE%D8%A7%D9%86%D9%8A%D9%87%E2%80%8E%2C%20romanized%3A%C2%A0Hanya Chania, Crete], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lesbos#:~:text=named%20%D9%85%D8%AF%D9%84%D9%84%D9%89%20(Midilli)%20in%20Turkish Lesbos], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giannitsa#:~:text=The%20city%20was%20founded%20as%20Yenice-i%20Vardar%20Ottoman%20Turkish%20%D9%8A%DA%AD%D9%8A%D8%AC%DB%80%20%D9%88%D8%A7%D8%B1%D8%AF%D8%A7%D8%B1%20'new%20(town)%20of%20Vardar'%20in%20around%201383%20%E2%80%93%201387.%5B Giannitsa], etc.

::If you could point out Greek places where the Ottoman place name is "not allowed to be included", please let me know.

::Similarly, areas which have had important Armenian populations in the past should include the Armenian name. --Macrakis (talk) 13:34, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
