[edit] Interesting

Ah those moron turks!!! They can't even understand the architectural continuity... Should we kill them all now, or should we save half for public humiliation later? Who cares to give references nowadays? BTW Ani(Armenia) means the city of Ani in Armenia, not the city of Ani which is historically and/or culturally Armenian but may lie within the borders of some other country which has to come to terms with its multicultural history. If it hurts you so much to say the name of a dear city next to that of your biggest adversary, at least be inventive, say Ani (Ancient Armenia) or Ani(Armenian Kingdom) or even Ani (Heaven on Earth), but please don't put yourself into the sad, sad position of writing "Ani(Armenia) is an ancient city in Turkey." I mean, how come you didn't notice that first sentence was a cry for help on your behalf? Really.

I just reverted the removal of the text "the dynamite blasts at a nearby stone quarry in Armenia, as well as" from the sentence about the ruins being threatened. This might have been an error correction, if the quarry is no longer operating or if that was never true in the first place. It looks more like whitewashing to me so I reverted. If I'm wrong, eventually someone will correct it. Isomorphic 06:30, 4 Apr 2005 (UTC)

The quarry was shut down in 2001. It never actually damaged any of Ani's ruins, just made the general landscape look like an industrial site.

Thanks! I didn't know the background, I was just suspicious of unexplained removals. Isomorphic 01:31, 17 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Ani is in Turkey so what the hell that means Ani(Armenia)????

Hello , First of all,someone please correct the headline of this article....Ani is enough..no need for Armenia...

I am tired of seeing this Armenian propaganda everywhere....

Armenians are using media much better than any other nation but this does not mean they are right ...most of the stuff they claim is LIE....like genocide....

thanks for reading

Reply: Ani was a major Armenian city. It may be within the borders of the Republic of Turkey, but its history is Armenian. This isn't propaganda, it is fact. Turkey has a vastly multi-ethnic history and it is time to start acknowledging that.

[edit] Turkey and Armenia

Ok this is a history stub and not political stub, Ani's history is armenian so it should be refered to as that and is only a tourist and Archaelogical attraction that had very little significance in modern Turkey, but a lot of significants for Armenia. Also Turkey and Armenia must come to terms with History and modern reallity, wich they are trying but are finding it hard too. Enlil Ninlil 23:57, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Move to Ani (Turkey)

Suggest move to Ani (Turkey). It's in Turkey, not much more to say. --A.Garnet 13:20, 18 August 2006 (UTC)

Support. Obviously it is within Turkey, nomatter its history. The current name is simply misleading. Bertilvidet 16:51, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Done. Bertilvidet 14:20, 2 October 2006 (UTC)

Is there a city named Ani in Turkey though? The article is about historical Ani. I would agree if there was such a city there now, like in the case of Kars or Akhtamar.--Eupator 18:22, 8 September 2006 (UTC)

Yes, have a look at the map and you will realize that Ani is in Turkey. It is not the task of Wikipedia to redesign borders. Bertilvidet 06:58, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

I think we should write about how the Turks are trying to wipe out all traces of Armenian history in the region. For example, Armenians are not mentioned once on the displays at the site. Hakob 06:01, 9 September 2006 (UTC)

True, this article is in desperate need of an expansion.--Eupator 00:35, 10 September 2006 (UTC)

Just go to VirtualAni.org, it is more comprehensive and more accurate than any article here will ever be! :) Meowy 15:11, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
