(With my regards to all historians and ordinary readers) From the ancient history it has been known ancient of armenians had come to Near East BC XI century,I mean first time and that time armenian was not as a nation , they were etnics. In this case how come it would take place in Nakhichevan history as BC XV century there was armenaian legendy?

This whole entry reads like it has been lifted straight out of a tourism brochure! Needs a radical rewrite, I think. I have added a little bit to clarify the traditional meaning of its name, and corrected the error saying that Ptolemy lived in the 2nd century BCE, and mentioned that there is also an archaeological museum. Dare we say that most of the Iranian "tourists" come for the prostitutes? Meowy 15:28, 13 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Nakhcivan's name isn't originally Armenian, but Persian. Therefore I deleted the section in the parenthesis. And also why to include the coat of arms under Imperial Russia? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.41.143.22 (talk • contribs) 2007-03-12T05:36:14

Since Armenians came from Nairi, could it be that the name is related to Nakhs - since all of the area: Yerevan(Erebuni), Sevan(Ereta)and probably river Aras is named after ancient Ers that are connected to modern Vainakhs and North-East Caucasians in Dagestan - it as well follows migrational path(from Erzurum in Turkey) of these people before arrival to Northern Caucasus. Armenians seems like of the same people, that all are related to ancient Urartu(that was located around Nairi), but indo-europeanized.92.22.24.183 (talk) 21:24, 27 March 2014 (UTC)[reply]
