Talk:Kaçkar Mountains

message: Are the Kaçkar Mountains the same as the Pontic Mountains? According to their respective articles, they have the same highest peak. Someone who knows more on the subject may want to propose a merger... 164.107.201.116 01:32, 5 April 2007 (UTC)

text: They're not, I strongly oppose. Kaçkar is small but important section of Pontic mountains. The relation is of larger mountain chain and smaller range. An example from different mountain could be High Tatras, which also have the same highest peak as Carpathian Mountains, and aren't the same, and the idea of merger would be absurd. Or Dolomites, which are Alps, but not vice versa, and merge would be absurd. --Wikimol 21:59, 11 April 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I agree with Wikimol. Moreover, I believe that the Turkish name for Pontic Mountains, Doğu Karadeniz Dağları, suggested in the Pontic Mountains article, is wrong. AFAIK it means "East Black Sea Mountains" and although it may not be identical to Kaçkar, it describes an area much smaller than what Pontic Mountains really are. Pontic Mountains is the whole mountain range along the Turkish Black Sea coast, i.e. its Turkish equivalent would be :tr:Kuzey Anadolu Dağları (Northern Anatolia Mountains), which both Doğu Karadeniz Dağları and Kaçkar are part of. --Zeman 14:58, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I also agree with Wikimol. The Kaçkar mountains are a distincive and important enough part of the Pontic mountains to have their own entry. They also are geologically different from other parts of the Pontic mountains, and the local inhabitants are ethnically and culturally different. Meowy 18:59, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

text: merge Pontic Mountains (refers to mountains from samsun to georgia) = Kaçkar Mountains. See::de:Ka%C3%A7kar_GebirgeMust.T  C  16:24, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I dont agree with Wikimol! Kaçkar Mountains are not small at all. They are quite large in fact, if you consider the whole range from Verçenik to Altıparmak. Though I agree with him on the account that Kaçkar does not equate with Pontic mountains which are even a larger range. 88.235.95.43 17:24, 31 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I would oppose (maybe). My only point is that the Pontic Mountains are a distinctly identified physiographic province, and the Kaçkar Mountains are not, though they may be a smaller physiographic section of the Pontic Mountains province. I would have no objection to the Kaçkar Mountains being a section within the Pontic Mountains article though. wbfergus  Talk 13:01, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
