Actually, the region of Arran is Armenian. Historically speaking, all lands east of the Kura river are Armenian. This is evident not only by Armenian culture present here, and famous historians, but also numismatic evidence. Abbasid coinage bear the title Arminia Barda, inticating province of Arab Armenia, and mint of the city of Barda in the region of Arran, indicating this region was within Armenia, even in Arab times. Furthermore, there are coins struck here in the name of the Arab governor/emir of the province of Armenia. Finally the region of arran extended to the shores of Lake Sevan, within the borders of modern Armenia, making this a historic part of Armenia.

I Agree. Apart from Lachin and Kelbajar, other areas of Arran have been historically Armenian.Heja Helweda 03:31, 25 February 2006 (UTC)

How funny. Agreement without any argument - what about Barda (Partav), Ganja, Salyan, Mughan and Talysh. This is all the left Bank. Armenia seems to be an enormous country in the past. Appreciate any non-armenian source stating that Aran is armenian Abdulnr 01:11, 30 March 2006 (UTC)

Yes Mr. Academic, we both agree therefore we do not argue, a scientific breakthrough!, there is nothing really do discuss. See Minorsky, studies in Caucasian history!

[edit] Arabic or Kurdish

Where is the source for Arabic background of Shaddadids?.Heja Helweda 22:16, 8 March 2006 (UTC)

Please provide your sources for the Arab origin. Do not revert the article without providing evidence. Thanks.Heja Helweda 02:35, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

You are right, the Rawadid were not Kurds, but the Shaddadids were.

[edit] Organization

Guys, I tried to organize the article as best I could as of now (with the short amount of time I had). However, its still in need of work. How about we make this article about the Shaddadids (as it just the Shaddadid dynasty and its history, you know, the major information, not the minor things like who minted what coins where) as a whole, and then create an article for each individual monarch (describing their individual minor deeds). What do you guys think? For example, see the Achaemenid Empire, the article is solely about the empire, and each monarch of the empire has its own article talking about their achievements, wars, things that happened during their time etc...Azerbaijani 23:41, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

I have gotten no response so far, so I may just start this on my own, but first I'll try to contact some people.Hajji Piruz 20:57, 10 June 2007 (UTC)

Actually, I just looked at the history and it seems there isnt really anyone who is really active with regards to this article. I'll see if I can find more information on the Shaddadids themselves, and if I can I'll do what I proposed above.Hajji Piruz 20:59, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
