Wording[edit]

Golden Leaving aside the random IP, I have a question to your own edit, and this isn't IP's or anyone else's edit btw, and my question is specifically to you as the author of that edit; Why the "Azerbaijani" part was removed when the section Territorial claims from the article makes it clear that:

Since the November 2020 ceasefire, the term “Zangezur” has been increasingly prevalent in Azerbaijani discourse. The right of transit across southern Armenia conceded by Armenia in that agreement is widely referred to in Azerbaijan as the “Zangezur corridor,” which Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev has threatened to take by force if it is not opened willingly. Then, on July 7, Azerbaijan announced a reorganization of its internal economic regions which included a new region, bordering Syunik, named “Eastern Zangezur.” The implication is that there is a “Western Zangezur” – that is, Syunik. This intent was confirmed by President Aliyev in a speech a few days later: “Yes, Western Zangezur is our ancestral land […] we must return there and we will return.” Key spokespersons associated with the ruling elite have amplified this message across social media with tweets and posts evoking Zangezur as a lost fragment of a wider Azerbaijani homeland'.

Pretty sure this didn't need any changes. I also don't see how changing Laurence Broers to "researcher" from "expert" was much of an improvement. ZaniGiovanni (talk) 16:02, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Inclusion of "Azerbaijani" alongside "Western Zangezur" is redundant since the sentence already states that the name is motivated by irredentism. I have no strong objections to its inclusion.

Broers is presented as a "researcher" by the institue he works at, Chatham House (link). "Expert" is a completely different word with a completely different meaning. — Golden ^{call me maybe?} 16:22, 16 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]
