I'm moving some of the info about Sattar Khan to his own article as they are misplaced here.Hajji Piruz 14:13, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Sattar Khan was shot by Yeprem Khan in Atabek Park. Instead of moving sourced text around without any source contribution, I suggest to spend some time actually researching the topic and contributing more sources. Also, replacing the link to Armenians with Iranian Armenians is not quite right, Yeprem was born in what's now North Azerbaijan and then Russian Empire. During his lifetime, the place of his birth, youth and activity was not Iran, in fact even in Iran he cooperated with revolutionaries from Caucasus, which were the core of his force. Thanks.

This is what the source you cited says:

A further split occurred in 1910 when a group of guerrilla fighters headed by Sattar Khan, a hero of the civil war, refused to obey a government order to disarm. After a brief but violent confrontation at Atabek Park in Tehran, Yeprem Khan, the recently appointed police chief, succeeded in disarming them. Yeprem Khan used Bakhtiyari tribesmen as well as fellow Armenian veterans of the civil war. He also recieved the support of a radical named Haydar Khan, who had recently helped found the secular Democrat party. After the Atabek Park incident, Sattar Khan, who was wounded in the confrontation, was pensioned off, and his supporters were disbanded...

Yup, where does it say what you claim, and what does information about Sattar Khan have to do with Yeprem Khan?Hajji Piruz 14:57, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Read that paragraph through the end please :). This is quite relevant, because Sattar Khan died in 1914 from the wounds inflicted during the Atabek Park incident. The incident as you know happened between Yeprem Khan leading one side and Sattar khan leading the other, so the reference is quite relevant. Atabek 15:07, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

Hajji Piruz, assuming good faith and in the spirit of comporomise, I have shortened the quote removing parts about Sattar khan being claimed as martyr and only left the claim that he died 4 years later from the wounds incurrent in the incident with Yeprem Khan in Atabek Park.Atabek 15:23, 22 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Article edits

User:AlexanderPar, the section of the article which you removed [1], calling it "Turkish POV", was actually the text from the source which is provided. That's why it was quoted with parentheses. Might want to review references in future, prior to reverting and removing sourced information. Atabek 10:02, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
