There is a contradiction in this article. First: Formed from the union of the Aksu River and Yarkand River, it flows in an eastward direction around the Taklamakan Desert. Then: The Tarim River is formed by the confluence of the Kashgar River and the Yarkand River in the far west. That would mean that the part between both confluences is either Tarim (according to the latter) or not (the first). Any sources? Fransvannes (talk) 20:06, 18 January 2008 (UTC)
