::Yes, it's about the armenian genocide occured during WW1 from 1915-1923, where near one and a half million Armenian died by hands of the ottoman empire. — Preceding unsigned comment added by  62.14.118.164 (talk • contribs) 01:13, 7 December 2005 (UTC)

message: In the first paragraph of the Description section, specify what directions the river is going at each point, like:
CURRENT:
"flows along the Turkish-Armenian border"
TO:
"flows southwards along the Turkish-Armenian border"
In the second paragraph of the Description section, replace the terms "left" and "right" also with compass directions, like:
CURRENT:
"In Turkey the Ghareso river flows in on the left side."
TO:
"In Turkey the Ghareso river flows in from the west [or northwest, southwest, etc.]."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.199.198.80 (talk) 03:30, 29 April 2008 (UTC)

message: A discussion of the economics of the river and the uses to which the water is put is entirely appropriate.  It should be done in its own section.  As indicated in the Manual of Style any statement about aesthetics needs to be cited to a source. --Bejnar (talk) 00:25, 29 October 2010 (UTC)

message: Without question Caucasus represent border between Europe and Asia, but then.... My arguments are:
*1) You are having different world organisations which are saying that Armenia and Azerbaijan are in Europe so for them Aras is border between continents.
*2) For Le Monde border is "Geographically, Europe is defined by the Ural mountains and river to the east, the river Aras to the southeast, and the straits of Gibraltar and the Bosphorus to the south" 
*3) For Britannica border is "One widely accepted scheme draws the dividing line along the crest of the Greater Caucasus range, putting the portion of the region north of the line in Europe and the portion south of it in Asia. Another puts the western portion of the Caucasus region in Europe and the eastern part (the bulk of Azerbaijan and small portions of Armenia, Georgia, and Russia’s Caspian Sea coast) in Asia. Still another scheme identifies the Aras River and the Turkish border as the line of continental demarcation, thereby locating Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Georgia in Europe." 
We can find compromise about definition or ask help ?Analitikos (talk) 00:10, 21 August 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  European borders 

message: Given Aras river is often seen as a significant boundary (even between continents of Europe and Asia), I tried to exchange the pictures on the top of the article, so the geographic one would be seen in the preview, but didn't succeed (the change of sequence in source didn't change the location of the graphics in the preview, so I didn't save). If somebody agrees such a change would be worthwhile, and knows how to make it (s)he is welcome to do it. Marjan Tomki SI (talk) 12:46, 8 September 2023 (UTC)
