Question

Is this the same as the Arpa River? Khoi khoi 06:35, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I have no idea actually... We should verify at some point. Baristarim 06:46, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also see the discussion at Talk:Arpa River. I've found an interesting fourm. Khoi khoi 07:01, 28 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Google Maps/Earth shows them both as Arpaçay, even though they are very distinctly different, unless Arax itself was once called something similar, or at least the part that connects those two rivers. The wiki page on Axura says the name comes from a river about 20 km from it, and Arax seems to be the only river to fit that measurement. --GareginRA (talk) 04:31, 6 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Absolutley not, Arpa is to the south east and flows through Tavush (while Akhurian flows through Shirak and then along the border of Aragatsotn).

Is Tseli and Arpi the same lake? Xadrezista (talk) 22:02, 5 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Page title

Should be at Akhurian: [1], not Arpaçay: [2].

Date of the battle

So when was this battle? Did it have a name? -- llywrch 23:24, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I assume its Armenian-Byzantine Battle but someone else can verify this more efficiently. Artaxiad 01:41, 16 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

A link to the "Aras River" has already been used earlier in this article. -- Aivazovsky 15:19, 5 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
