[edit] Comment

It's name was Atropatene or Atropatgan. During centuries it has been converted to "Aazarbaaygaan" as the word aatro converted to aazar in various other combinations. By the conquest of Arabs, since they couldn't pronounce "gaf" it became Aazarbaaijan. So it seems by the arrival of Turkic tribes the name have not undergone any other changes. Please verify this by encyclopedia iranica or encyclopedia britanica or the encyclopedia of Columbia university. Also Ahmad Kasrvi has explained similar evolution.

I added back Wikiproject Azeri, because it covers not only Azerbaijan republic, but also Azerbaijani people, plus the territory of Azerbaijan republic was at times part of this region too. Grandmaster 09:29, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Um..Atropatene never included any of the parts of the Caucasus. Where are you getting such notions from?Azerbaijani 22:55, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

Since the name is etymologically ancestor of Azerbaijan, its okay. I am also adding armenia in since the kingdom bordered the armenia and there was interactions (territorial conflicts as well as trade)..--alidoostzadeh 00:14, 27 April 2007 (UTC)
