Talk:Khojaly District

Khojaly massacre section
The reason I added the tag is that it only provides the Azeri POV, it would be nice if it could have the Armenian POV as well. I believe it's mentioned at the Khojaly Massacre article. &mdash; Khoikhoi 03:22, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

 * This administrative division became popular due to Khojaly Massacre, therefore I added this section. Best, Konullu (talk) 23:11, 21 February 2013 (UTC)
 * The massacre is not relevant to the rayon, only to the city. (Do we put paragraphs about the San Francisco Earthquake in California?) Also, we don't need a poorly written, excessively sourced paragraph when a link and single sentence about the massacre would suffice, in the article on the city... and look, that already exists! No edits required. --Golbez (talk) 23:19, 21 February 2013 (UTC)

Province name
The article now says "The local separatist government has designated it as the province of Askeran."... but my question is this: didn't the name of the province always used to be Askeran in Soviet times, and the Armenians just left it like that, while the Azeri government changed the name after they lost it? That is what my information would indicate. If that is the case the article should be changed - can someone please confirm? --RaffiKojian 03:32, 10 July 2006 (UTC)

Khojali massacre
It happends in 2 km from city Agdam (the main city of Agdam Rayon), but not in the Khojaly Rayon. Refugees died in the neighbour district. During the battle of Khojaly there were a very small number of Azeri deathes (20-30, mostly militaries), because civil population was evacuated, and troops decided to leave the city. Civil population died in front of Agdam. And on cause of dies there are two POV which I wouldn't mention now, because it's not important in this situation. --Ліонкінг (talk) 07:00, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Then you need to take it up with Khojaly Massacre, which states unequivocally that it took place in Khojali and Nakhichevanik, both of which are in Khojali rayon. --Golbez (talk) 07:14, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * In Khojali and Nakhichevanik there were fights. The massacre was in front of Agdam. I'll do it if I got a time. --Ліонкінг (talk) 07:46, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
 * Yes, it happened along the way from Khojaly through the open area near Nakhichevanik. The area is not 2 km from Agdam, but 6 km from Shelli village of Agdam rayon. Golbez is right, it's in Khojaly rayon. Tuscumbia  ( talk ) 13:32, 28 April 2010 (UTC)
