Arpa Posted November 2, 2010 Report Share Posted November 2, 2010 It is now AKNA in the region of Askeran. No more aghdam. New settlement appears on NKR mapNovember 2, 2010 - 12:05 AMT 08:05 GMT PanARMENIAN.Net - The government of the Artsakh Republic has decided to rename Aghdam town as Akna.Local administration representative Sergey Nasibekyan told a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter that Anka will have a status of a district and belong in Askeran.Currently, Akna has about 360 residents. Founded in the 18th century, the 28-thousand town was completely destroyed during the Azerbaijani-Karabakh war in early 1990iesNow, if we only could get out of the habit of using terms like nkr, nagorno or worse. http://travel.javakhk.net/travel_javakhk_maps/Armenia_Artsakh2.jpg Every time I hear the name aghdam the picture of Monte -Avo Melkonian floats in my head. I have always had an uneasy feeling about it. I am afraid to open a can of worms. Perhaps at another time.http://janfedayi.com/Monte/index.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
