Awesome!

Good going, folks. It is a big task, but an ideal way to focus attention on Armenian related articles and subjects that are not yet well developed. --RaffiKojian 01:51, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

I'm guessing you would like to be a participant, so I took the liberty of adding your name to the list.--Moosh88 02:08, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Adopt an Article

Please decide to "adopt an article", this basically means that you will be researching and adding the majority of the info to your adopted article.--Moosh88 02:15, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

Cool

Hi! This is a great idea, will add templates. I will start working on an article on the Armenian kingdom of Gardaman-Parisos in a little bit. I gues this would be my article ...

Translations

Hello. I have a suggestion four you. What about add to task table a string "Translation" and write there articles from other wikis to translate into english? For exemple, there are some quite a good articles about cities and rivers of Armenia in russian wiki such as ru:Иджеван, ru:Арпа (река), ru:Агарак... I know that some users of this project understand russian. I want to ask you if you are interested in this idea? --FHen 18:26, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

I think that's a great idea. What you propose should be incorporated under To be created.--Eupator 19:03, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

I'm not shure if such incorporation is the best way. I suggest to translate also a articles, that have already been created, such as Ijevan (ru:Иджеван), Hrazdan (ru:Раздан (река)). May be it will be better to create a separate table like this--FHen 19:45, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

Yes you're right; however, we should only include articles that are signifcantly better or longer than their English counterparts (if one exists). For example Zvartnots should not be included.--Eupator 19:59, 2 May 2006 (UTC)

I tryed to move this table to project page, but had a problem: links to iwikis are seen only on talk pages. --FHen 16:20, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

prefix it with a colon like so: ] ru:foobar

I thought you Guys could use this

Meanwhile, it was the father of the present Azeri president, Haydar Aliyev, who first said that “Karabakh is lost for us.” On July 22, 2002, while receiving the founders of the Baku Press-Club in his palace, Aliyev made a number of avowals. The full text of Aliyev’s interview was published by Zerkalo daily on July 23, 2002. In particular, Aliyev said that as the first secretary of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the USSR “he did much to help Nagorno Karabakh to develop, but, at the same time, he tried to change the local demography.” “Nagorno Karabakh asked for an institute. I decided to open one, but on condition that it would have three sectors – Azeri, Russian and Armenia. We opened the institute and began sending Azeris from nearby districts there rather than to Baku. We also opened a big shoe factory. Stepanakert had no sufficient labor force, so we began sending there Azeris from places around the region. By doing this I tried to increase the number of Azeris and to reduce the number of Armenians,” Aliyev said. He also noted that “when I left Azerbaijan, the situation there got worse – Armenia’s influence grew bigger, and our authorities did nothing and missed the moment.” “When in Feb 1991 I was elected deputy from Naxcivan and came to Baku and said in the parliament that Nagorno Karabakh was already lost,” Haydar Aliyev said. Returning to our topic, let’s try to describe the consequences the war in Iran may have for Armenia. The armed crisis in Iran, the preventive strikes on or the military invasion of the US and the “accomplice-countries” in that country and the possible consequences this may have for Armenia are a question that can knock out any Armenian politician. They in Armenia have no answer to this question – they just well realize how serious this threat is. The possibility of a US-Azeri or any other conspiracy over the Karabakh-Iranian problem as a whole is an even bigger trap for the Armenians. We can hardly imagine them to rule out this possibility at all. The region is too small, and there is just one step from Iran (and, most importantly, from its regions where the ethnic Azeri majority is several times bigger than the whole population of Armenia) to Karabakh. Yes, it’s not calm in Armenia, and not only because of the daily shuttle visits of US politicians and diplomats. In fact, any destabilization will reveal the real balance of forces in the region and will blow up the whole foreign political doctrine of Armenia. The country will have to instantly choose which camp to join. The situation is going beyond short-term predictability, which means the end of the epoch of complimentarity – a wait-and-see policy, a policy of balance between the interests of macro-players.

Yerevan seems to have already taken the first steps in this direction… not without Moscow. In the chronology we give in the preamble shows that after the usual OSCE MG format broke up and the Russian co-chair went into the shadow, it was only the Armenian FM that visited Moscow. But this was overshadowed by an unprecedented meeting of the Russian ambassadors to Georgia, Azerbaijan and Turkey and Russian Deputy FM Grigory Karasin in Yerevan. Even in calmer times such a meeting would look intriguing. The N1 topic before and after the military exercises in Nagorno Karabakh was the Armenian-Russian military cooperation. Apr 19 the chief of the general staff of Armenia’s armed forces Mikayel Haroutyunyan said that “Armenia and Russia should conduct joint exercises more frequently and should involve the Karabakh armed forces therein.” In the meantime, Armenian Defense Serzh Sargsyan said in an interview to Krasnaya Zvezda newspaper that Armenia would welcome the training of Russian military students in highland conditions.

Is a local war in Karabakh possible? It is — as war is still regarded as one of the possible ways to resolve the dragging conflict. But who will it benefit? The benefits are many, but they depend on what the beneficiaries want. Let’s consider some of the possible scenarios: The US involves Azerbaijan in a local war with Armenia and deploys its military bases in the Azeri territory to protect its oil-gas interests and, at the same time, pressures on Iran from the north. This scenario fits well into the US’ strategic plan of Iran’s military-political encirclement.

I am from the Azari Wiki Project and both a Iranian and Azari. I know I am an ethnic Iranian and not a Turkic as fake party line in Baku cliams. The Baku government has even killed Azari scholars who have taught that Azaris are really ethnically non-Turkic. We are reallly an Iranian people related to the Armenians and I hope their is peace for everyone in the region. 72.57.230.179

Alphabet

I've redone the alphabet table in Armenian_alphabet. An Armenian speaker should add in the IPA-values, as I meself don't speak a word Armenian. The German and Italian pages might help there (see interwikilinks on the Armenian alphabet page). ActiveSelective 06:18, 20 July 2006 (UTC)

Abdul Hamid II

Fellow Armenians, there is an anonymous vandal who keeps removing a part of Abdul Hamid's page where it states about the hamidian massacres, and about the reforms Armenians demanded...we should pay attention -- Fedayee 22 September 2006
