I can't even remotely understand what he's trying to describe. Is he saying that Turks have always been in Artsakh?

I think he is saying that the name Karabakh is Turkish and, so the argument goes, the territory should not be Armenian. The name "Karabakh" maybe has been around for 300 years, but the Tatars have no historical monuments there. The Armenians do, going back more than a 1500 years. Gandzak (Ganja) is an Armenian name..so is Kharpert (Harput), so should we apply the same argument in reverse? but these facts most probably are not mentioned in Turkish schools

Agreed.

Since the post is erased nobody will know. Stalin would have loved forums like these, no airbrush could have removed inconveniences so easily.

I'd love to know what Homshetsi said to deserve this - love to know so that I could repeat it.

Re: Etymology of Karabakh

I'm not sure how "Greater Baghk" relates to Karabakh combining Turkish and Armenian.

Only thing I can think of is gara - means like "station" or "depot" in Turkish which would make sense when referring to a fortress or stronghold.

"gara" also means something that is big, like a large area of land.
