Re: Origins of the name Yerevan
Guys if you havent noticed, no one takes Turkish historians seriously, because they dont research history, they work on historical revisionism.
Turkish historians have made such outrageous claims as the Etruscans, Parthians, Sumerians, Scythians, being Turks, Napoleon being Turks, etc...
No one takes them seriously, their "academics" are amateurs really.
I might also add that this is by no means the fault of the Turkish people. They have been brainwashed by nationalism and pan Turkism since the early 1900's when that stuff really became popular in the Ottoman Empire.
The Turkish people are a victim of this historical revisionism themselves, because it makes them look ridiculous in the face of real scholarship.
I'm not trying to insult Turkey or the Turkish people, I'm just giving some background information here.
