Talk:Corduene

message: The article is full of revisionist and fringe theories presented as mainstream scholarly views, it needs to to be throughly checked for POV and inaccuracies by an expert. --Mardavich 02:19, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Are Roman/Greek sources Fringe? :). Please explain in detail your concerns.Heja Helweda 02:20, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Don't remove the tag, I have nominated the article to be checked by a neutral expert. Lumping corduene with Kurds and Kurdistan is not mainstream scholarly view. --Mardavich 02:23, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Please calm down. Have you checked the sources? Read the discussion by Rawlinson  The word(carduene) is no doubt the ancient representative of the modern Kurdistan, and means a country in which Kurds dwelt..Heja Helweda 02:24, 30 July 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Fringe ideas 

message: This article is on history of Roman Corduene or the earlier independent land inhabited by Corduchi? 
To my understating even Iranians had this land as their Satrapy before Romans did. Maybe we remove text from this page and create new articles? Confusing anyways. HeviyaJiyan
: The current article is focused on Roman Corduene from 66BC to early 5th century. Persians wanted to take over these lands during Achamenides, but the indigenous population (Carduchis) mainly resisted Persian attempts of conquest. For more on this see History of the Kurds.Heja Helweda 20:55, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Which one?

message: Article states that the name is from Armenian and that it was an Armenian kingdom and then says that the name is a corruption of Kurd and has always been Kurdish.  Can't be both, guys.  
Please try to stick to facts and avoid ideological/nationalist blinders!  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.19.85.51 (talk) 14:11, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Internally inconsistent 

message: The part referring to Xenophon doesn't quite agree with the sources (Anabasis, Book IV). What Xenophon says (and seems quite reasonable) is that the Greeks decided to cross the Zagros mountains into modern-day Turkey, but they had no food, guides or interpreters. So they proceeded as they could and looted the local villages for food, but they did not harm the villagers or steal their chattels in case the Karduchi agreed to let them pass without a fight. That did not happen, however, and the Greek army had to fight all the way to the plains (where the Karduchi retreated back into their own mountains and the Greek army continued its march north towards the Greek city of Trabzon). Xenophon also states that the casualties of the Greek army while crossing the Zagros mountains were higher than their entire losses by their Persian enemies.

message: You deleted the following paragraph:
The three principalities of Corduene, Moxoene and Zabdicene are referred to as Carduchian dynasties (Ref: C. Toumanoff, Introduction to Christian Caucasian History II: Status and Dynasties of the Formative Period, Traditio, Vol. XVII, pp.1-107, 1961, Frodham University Press, New York. (see pp.31-32). 
This source is published in 1961, so your argument about 19th century sources is not valid, because not all the sources are that old and more recent ones have also been included.Heja Helweda (talk) 00:47, 8 July 2008 (UTC)

message: Claims that portray the region as part of Armenian Kingdom are not supported by other strong evidence specially Roman writers, who have clearly stated that during the period from 66 BC to 600 AD, this region was conquered by the Romans many times and there was even a Roman military unit named after Corduene.Vekoler (talk) 23:14, 24 March 2013 (UTC)
