859 and Crusades

[edit]

History section:Then the area returned to Byzantine control during the period of the Crusades 859-1114.

The area may be under Byzantine control during 859-1114. But the year 859 has nothing to do with the Crusades.

Armenian Genocide

[edit]

What about the role of the town during the Armenian Genocide? According to the Wiki article it was an extermination centre. Surely there must be some information on this?

Kurdish population-mistake

[edit]

Adiyaman is not a majority-Kurdish inhabited town as the introduction suggests! Just look at the election results of 2018 as proof: The pro-Kurdish HDP received only 15% while nationalist parties has a significant vote share, not to mention the ruling AKP which has over 50% majority. Adiyaman is a typical traditional eastern Anatolian Turkish town with a significant Kurdish minority. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.234.34.120 (talk) 17:57, 12 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Is the name Adiyaman came from the ancient Tamil king Adiyaman?

[edit]

Adiyaman may be an ancient king or a person that trades on iron weapons. This person or persons may be from Kanjamalai in Southern India. Wondering there are any relationship between Damascus steel and Kanjamalai steel (Wootz steel) and hence the name Adiyaman. 72.53.207.5 (talk) 01:08, 13 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]
