[edit] Question

Is this the same as the Arpa River? Khoikhoi 06:35, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

I have no idea actually... We should verify at some point. Baristarim 06:46, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Also see the discussion at Talk:Arpa River. I've found an interesting fourm. Khoikhoi 07:01, 28 December 2006 (UTC)

Absolutley not, Arpa is to the south east and flows through Tavush (while Akhurian flows through Shirak and then along the border of Aragatsotn).

[edit] Page title

Should be at Akhurian: [1], not Arpaçay: [2].

[edit] Moving page

Moving page per the most common name in English language. Google test:

• "Akhurian River" gets 299 hits, [3]
• "Akhuryan River" gets 223 hits, [4]
• "Arpaçay River" gets 195 hits, [5]

Therefore the move. Cheers, Aivazovsky 00:29, 19 January 2007 (UTC

[edit] Date of the battle

So when was this battle? Did it have a name? -- llywrch 23:24, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

I assume its Armenian-Byzantine Battle but someone else can verify this more efficiently. Artaxiad 01:41, 16 March 2007 (UTC)
