Daniel, just out of curiousity, where'd the info and text for this come from?

Also, there's some more info that could be incorporated at the 1911 encyclopedia, here [1] Isomorphic 20:01, 29 Feb 2004 (UTC)

[edit] I've taken out the last sentence.

I've taken out the last sentence in the article because it was from this site about Azerbaijan. The last sentence does not need to be posted, because there are also trains to other places. I think it also mentions an Azeri population there, I'll see what I can do about that.

It was this sentence: There are trains to Baku and a consulate of Azerbaijan is expected to open in the near future.

I've removed the article for copyright violation - the whole article was taken from that site, not just a sentence. I've started a new version at Derbent/Temp, incorporating material from the 1911 Britannica. Isomorphic 20:07, 17 Mar 2004 (UTC)

I emailed the people there. They said that we could copy the text but not the pictures. I have their permission. -Dagestan

OK, I've got the email:

Hi Daniel, Thank you for your message. You may use only the TEXT, not the images. Source should be mentioned as "Travel-images.com" Regards from Lisbon, Miguel Torres Curado http://travel-images.com (and Azerb.com)

(See? There's my permission!) -User:Dagestan

Alright, I guess it can go back up then. Does he understand what the GFDL means? Isomorphic 06:34, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)

Apparently he does. -User:Dagestan

Alrighty, I've put a note acknowledging the source. I'm also going to incorporate in some text from the temp version (which is from the 1911 Britannica.) Isomorphic 19:16, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Disambiguation

There is also a town in Turkey by this name, so could someone start a disabmig. page?

and in Turkmenistan
