Alternative names and other stuff[edit]

I've removed the Azerbaijani: Ağbaba, Turkish: Akbaba,also Romanized as Amasiya text. The settlement is called Amasia (and spelt that way) on Lynch's 1901 map of Armenia. Where do these alternative names come from? If it is a former name, it should be there but be identified as such. And if it is, it cannot be spelt using the modern Azeri or Turkish alphabets since if the current Amasia name clearly predates their invention, the former name also predates their invention. I've also removed the "formerly part of Gukasyan area" because it is unclear what is meant by it. Meowy 18:08, 6 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]
