[edit] Title

I moved this page because it's Wikipedia policy to use the most common term for something. This is applied throughout our encyclopedia for establishing the titles of the articles.

So, it's not hard to see that "Eastern Anatolia Region" is a much more common form:

• Results 1 - 10 of about 17,900 for "Eastern Anatolia Region"
• Results 1 - 10 of about 932 for "East Anatolia Region"

Or, if you trust printed books more:

• Books 1 - 6 with 7 pages on "Eastern Anatolia Region"
• Books 1 - 4 with 4 pages on "East Anatolia Region".

[edit] Serious error in this article?

Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi/East Anatolia Region is not a political or census-defined division, it is a geographical division and has four sub-divisions (Upper Murat Van region, Erzurum-Kars region, Upper Firat region, and Hakkari region). Its borders do not follow the borders of the political/administrative/census regions of eastern Turkey - so the Wikipedia entry for Eastern Anatolia Region is incorrect in that aspect.
