Armenian name
Why is the Armenian name of the town included? These have been Turkish lands for a thousand years. Articles on Greek islands that were Turkish territory a hundred years ago are not allowing Turkish names to be included! Double standards seem to be at play. Someone explain it otherwise logically please. Dominator1071 (talk) 23:13, 15 August 2020 (UTC)


 * Please don't duplicate comments like this on multiple pages. But since you are doing this, I will copy my answer from Talk:Van, Turkey:
 * As a general rule, Ottoman names should be given for former parts of the Ottoman Empire now part of Greece, as for example in Chania, Crete, Lesbos, Giannitsa, etc.
 * If you could point out Greek places where the Ottoman place name is "not allowed to be included", please let me know.
 * Similarly, areas which have had important Armenian populations in the past should include the Armenian name. --Macrakis (talk) 13:36, 16 August 2020 (UTC)
