Request Move

[edit]

There is another article, Qurghonteppa Oblast, that also could be Qurghonteppa. I recommend moving the current Qurghonteppa page to Qurghonteppa city, currently a redirect to this page, and making Qurghonteppa into a disambig.David Straub (talk) 15:35, 16 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology

[edit]

The name "Qurghonteppa" and especially its Russian version "Kurgan-Tyube" appears very Turkic ("Kurgan-Töbe" perhaps, meaning "Kurgan Peak" or "Kurgan Hill"; see KZ Aqtöbe → RU Aktyubinsk). Does anyone have sources to support or refute this so that it may be added to the article? AnonymousMusician (talk) 23:47, 13 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Use of the name Bohktar

[edit]

"Bokhtar" has since been used by numerous widely-known news organizations, and subsequently I will rename the page. Here are news articles using the name Bokhtar:
