Question

Is this the same as the Arpaçay River? According to this, there are two rivers—is this the "Arevelyan Arpa"? Khoi khoi 06:35, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm not too sure but i think thats in Turkish so im not sure maybe someone else can verify this. Nareklm 06:38, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Me neither. We should verify at some point. They could be different tributaries maybe. Baristarim 06:46, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I know "çay" can translate to "stream" or "brook" in English. Also see the Deli Çay River article for an example (which translates to "Crazy River River").

"In 1920, the Turkish Nationalist forces took Kars back. The Gümrü treaty signed December 2, 1920 placed the present border along the Arpaçay River (or Arpa river) and the Araks river (Araxe river). Thus the Nationalist gained control of the 750mm line and of the 5-foot gauge line as far as Akyaka." Source If you search google for "Arpa", "Arpi" or "Arpaçay River" Arpa River gets the most hits.

The thing is, if the source that I found is reliable, there are apparently two Arpa Rivers. Perhaps this article is about the one that originates in Artsakh. Khoi khoi 07:04, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well if there Armenian they would obviously refer Artsakh in Armenia so im not sure ill review there discussions. Nareklm 07:09, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It seems there are two rivers one coming from Lake arpi, lake sevan and artsakh so the articles should stay separated. Nareklm 07:12, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but I'm trying to find out which is which. Also, internet fourms unfortunately don't meet WP:RS... Khoi khoi 07:16, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Well i don't think it can be efficient because usually online translators misplace alot of words. Nareklm 07:33, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I guess I should ask a Russian-speaker then. :-( Khoi khoi 07:47, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]
