Talk:Church of Kish


This article currently has two dubious See Also articles: Udi people and Caucasian Albania. Caucasian Albania had been extinct for around 700 years before the founding of this church in the 12-13th century, and there exist no evidence of the relation of the Udi people to this church. However, a better case may be made for the latter than the former (Caucasian Albania) which has no place here. Serouj (talk) 08:19, 21 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Please, find independent sources. Samvel Karapetyan, NGO blogger from Armenia, isn't a scholarly source. Should we now also cite Azeri historians as to what happened to the territories of Erivan khanate? Atabəy (talk) 01:38, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Albanian Apostolic church was subjugated to Armenian by the order of Russian Czar only in 1836. So the claim above is already false and carries no basis. Karapetyan is an Armenian scholar (subject to analysis how much website creator is a scholar) on Armenian architecture. This church is on the territory of Azerbaijan, which is under aggression and barrage of territorial claims by Armenia. Hence, unless you can provide alternative sources which are NPOV, the Karapetyan references cannot be considered other than plain propaganda of one side, and thus unfit as a fact for the encyclopedic article on a monument.Atabəy (talk) 15:42, 2 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
