Armenian name[edit]

Why is the Armenian name of the town included? These have been Turkish lands for a thousand years. Articles on Greek islands that were Turkish territory a hundred years ago are not allowing Turkish names to be included! Double standards seem to be at play. Someone explain it otherwise logically please. Dominator1071 (talk) 23:13, 15 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Please don't duplicate comments like this on multiple pages. But since you are doing this, I will copy my answer from Talk:Van, Turkey#Armenian name:

As a general rule, Ottoman names should be given for former parts of the Ottoman Empire now part of Greece, as for example in Chania, Crete, Lesbos, Giannitsa, etc.

If you could point out Greek places where the Ottoman place name is "not allowed to be included", please let me know.

Similarly, areas which have had important Armenian populations in the past should include the Armenian name. --Macrakis (talk) 13:36, 16 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
