Opening comment

I changed the introduction a bit, as there seems to be a confusion as to the town's spelling and current status. Thanks. Atabəy (talk) 16:58, 22 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Aghdara (town) → Martakert — Per WP:PLACE - Widely accepted name. Google scholar results for Martakert provide with overwhelmingly more than those for Aghdara. -- Ashot ^(talk) 11:30, 27 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose This is a nearly identical situation to the requested move of Heyvali (village). both small towns in the disputed territory of Nagorno-Karabakh Republic. The issue of de jure vs. de facto territorial control also remains unresolved. Article history show this article has been the subject of a move war going back to 2008. Redirects means users are getting to the correct content, so I'm not convinced a move is appropriate. If anything the article should be moved to Aghdara because the only reason the town qualifer exists is because it was used to move the article during an undiscussed move.--Labattblueboy (talk) 20:40, 28 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
