[edit] Comment

I don't understand why this article was greatly shortened by User:Nareklm on January 31, 2007. The description of the dance, although imperfect, seems quite relevant to the article. Also, the names in other languages should certainly be included unless they are to be split off to separate articles (if they are significantly different). I have re-added the lost imformation pending an explanation. Rigadoun (talk) 16:33, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Armenian name (Քոչարի) added, the Armenian sript template can be removed Armatura 19:21, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

A subsection "See Also" was added with a single link "Assyrian dance". What the professionals do think, is Assyrian dance closely related with Kochari? Do we need a link for it on Kochari page? --Armatura 19:03, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

The Assyrian dance is obviously not needed, if we put that than put Turkish, Armenian, Greek dance links also and we don't want to clog it up with all those. Nareklm 19:07, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

I removed this part because we don't need it its not relevant to the article, make an new article than post it there please [1]. Nareklm 19:10, 10 February 2007 (UTC)

Well, the audiolink "Kochari - Assyriant variant" is from a CD called "Assyrian folk dances", what do you think, is it a reason to add Assyrian dance link to 'See Also' subsection? I suppose we need a referenced statement proving that Assyrians too were inhabitants of Kars, along with Pontic Greeks, Armenians and Turks. Armatura 00:15, 12 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Kurds

Well well, didnt anyone have in mind that the Kurds actually dance this too? Anyway, i put it in.

And also, the word "kocher" is originally kurdish which means "nomad". And when you add the "-i", like "kocheri" it becomes "nomad-ian". So "kocheri" means "nomadian" in kurdish, which refers to "nomadian dance" —Preceding unsigned comment added by Kurdalo (talk • contribs) 12:30, 10 June 2008 (UTC)
