[edit] Name

Kuchuk-Kainarji is the corrupted spelling of the Turkish name Küçük Kaynarca (Küçük=little). Check Britannica for confirmation www.britannica.com 68.160.138.191 08:18, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)

Thanks. I've moved the page per the Britannica article. —Khoikhoi 22:45, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

Can somebody provide a cite for the information that this treaty granted the Ottoman Empire rights of protection with Russia? This wasn't mentioned in the reference I used and it seems unusual. The Ottomans lost the war and all of the other terms were in Russia's favor. Why would Russia have turned around and made such a major concession? MK2 05:19, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
