Talk:Principality of Bitlis

„Rojaki“ name
Why isn‘t the name of this page „Rojaki dynasty“ as it is mention in the article? It was ruled and named by the Rojaki tribe, not?

Bitlis = Badlis
Bitlis = Badlis : these two towns are one, there should be only one article, --Hope&amp;Act3! (talk) 20:13, 13 March 2010 (UTC)

The reference I removed does not exist, there is one entry called Bedlis and it describes Bitlis in Turkey. So the articles need to be probably merged. --Stultiwikiatext me 22:02, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

Faulty premise with regards to 1665: no Murad VI ever reigned the Ottoman empire
The article states: "In 1665, Abdal Khans status as the Emir of the principality was strengthened after a visit to Bitlis by the Ottoman sultan Murad VI as he supported the Ottomans in the feud between the ottomans and the Safavids" This is impossible as there was never a Murad VI, and the closest Murad (IV) whgi was reigning to 1665 was Murad IV who died over two decades earlier. The next and last Murad (V- ruled briefly in the second part of the 19th century (over 200 years later). In 1665 the ruling sultan was Mehmed IV! Either the year or the sultan (or both) are thus clearly wrong. This part of the article clearly must be somewhat rewritten but I do not have the necesssary knowledge of the region's history to correct it. Could someone please correct it? -- fdewaele; 22 December 2020, 17:11 CET.
