Talk:Karen J. Williams

message: * What is the religious faith of Judge Karen Williams?
**If it helps, she wrote in a 4th Cir. Pledge of Allegiance case that "Undoubtedly, the pledge contains a religious phrase, and it is demeaning to persons of any faith to assert that the words 'under God' contain no religious significance," Judge Karen Williams wrote. "The inclusion of those two words, however, does not alter the nature of the pledge as a patriotic activity." bd2412 T 01:53, 10 April 2006 (UTC)

Talk:Naftalan, Azerbaijan

message: ...it contains about 50 percent naphthalene,... Is that a credible claim? It would be nice to have a citation. Naphthalene is a solid, so any oil consisting of 50% Naphthalene would hardly be liquid, besides it is harmful and has a very unpleasant smell. That hardly sounds like something you would want to bath in... --Malbi 19:58, 7 December 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: It already does have a citation to an article in The New York Times (the superscript "3" footnote at the end of the sentence).  In that article, the original sentence I took it from is "Naftalan crude contains about 50 percent naphthalene, a hydrocarbon best known as the stuff of mothballs." --so as you noted, that would not smell very pleasant... but then again, neither does crude oil :-p Now weather the reporter got it correct, I don't know.

Talk:Ordubad District

message: I am living in Nakhchivan. After I read a nice article about Ordubad (http://www.world66.com/europe/azerbaijan/naxcivan/ordubad), I decided to go to Ordubad by train. I mentioned my possible weekend Ordubad trip to Azerbaijan Foreign Affairs Ministry's Nakhchivan AR Department officer and he said "have a nice time in Ordubad".
An Azerian friend joined me too. Aras river, mountains, train voice were beautifull. I loved that train journey. I had great time. Unfortunetly, some people had "doubt" about the reason of my Ordubad journey. After my train trip, someone went to my Azerian friend's work and asked her questions. What a pity! I felt so sad for her. It disturbed me a lot. Hope she wouldn't loose her job just because she was helpfull and friendly to me.
I think if you are not Azerbaijan citizien, you should think twice (maybe more) if you really want to visit Nakhchivan.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.132.16.211 (talk) 13:36, 18 May 2010 (UTC)

text: @Laurel Lodged, BBC, news.am. Samral (talk) 10:05, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

text: You may be correct about the location. THe translation of the caption of the BBC report reads: "On Monday, the representatives of Azerbaijan Reclamation and Water Management OJSC visited the Sarsang reservoir in the temporary control area of ​​the Russian peacekeepers and met with the Armenian exploiters of the facility. Adil Gafarli, a representative of Melioration and Water Management JSC, who participated in the meeting, told BBC News about the purpose and results of the visit to Azerbaijan. Adil Gafarli said that this trip was not the first visit of their group to the Sarsang water reservoir and unlike the previous one, this time a more sincere and productive meeting was held. Mr. Gafarli believes that the last military operations carried out by Azerbaijan, "Operation of Revenge" created a "softening" in the representatives of the unrecognized Nagorno-Karabakh. The irrigation specialist said that according to the agreement, experts from Azerbaijan will visit Sarsang every 15 days from now on and will cooperate with the Armenian exploiters of the reservoir in its operation."
So it would appear that the "Armenian exploiters" are still in control of the reservoir. Laurel Lodged (talk) 10:35, 7 September 2022 (UTC)

thread_title: Untitled

message: Peter Golden has described linguistic shifts in the area.  That is there were Caucasian languages present.  Iranian present starts from Achaemenid times, but actual Iranianization in Shirwan starts in the late Sassanid era and continued to the Sherwanshah Era.  So I am not sure what is meant by antiquity.  But in antiquity it would be Caucasian tribes.  Turkic present (with the exception of Hunnic/Khazaric incursions and minor possible Khazar settlements) starts from the Seljuq era but really the Turkification probably starts from Safavid and Qajar eras.  The history section in the book (Altsdadt) is fairly weak and Amazon says: "Altstadt's original research adds the Azerbaijani perspective on the two-century relationship between Russia and Azerbaijan."  So Ashurbeyli seems like a local historian.  I rather quote Western historians.
The actual article should start from the late Sassanid early or early Islamic era, since Sherwan did not exist beforehand.  --Nepaheshgar (talk) 21:17, 5 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The main city of Shirvan, Shemakha, was known to Romans as Xamaxia, so it existed in pre-Sasanian times.  That was in the 1st century A.D. It is probably worth mentioning. As for the region in general, Minorsky says that it was mentioned for the first time in Sasanian times, so it is logical to start the history of the region from Sasanian times. According to one of the versions, the name Shirvan means the place of lions (from Persian shir - lion, and van - place). There are other versions too, so there's no consensus on what the name of the region means. It seems like the original Albanian population was Iranized, after it mixed with settlers from Iran, and later Turkisized, after it mixed with Turkic tribes. --Grandmaster 10:31, 6 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes I have heared that version of the etymology.  Khaqani uses Sherwan and Shirwan in one sentence with two different spellings شروان and شیروان.  The latter definitely meants protector/protected of/by lions. The linguistic shifts in the region is as you mentioned which I tried to portray accurately.  --Nepaheshgar (talk) 15:40, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

The memorial museum of famous Azerbaijan musician Gurban Pirimov in the Agdam region, the historical and study of local lore museums of the Jabrayil, Fuzuli, Khodjali regions were destroyed as well.
:Valuable exhibits, pictures and sculptures, world famed Azerbaijan carpets, memorial objects of well known Azerbaijan persons and other valuable exhibits were in the museums, looted by Armenian aggressors.
:Funds of the Shusha, Lachin and Gubadli art galleries, consisted of works of famous Azerbaijan artists and sculptors, were also destroyed.
:Armenian aggressors, demonstrating special barbarism, conveyed statues of great Azerbaijan music workers Uzeyir Hadjibayov and Bulbul, as well as poetess Khurshud Banu Natavan from Shusha to the territory of Armenia. These monuments were shot and damaged with heavy technique in contradictory to all moral norms. They were hardly brought to Baku and now demonstrated in the Fine Art Museum.
