Haykakan Par ( Armenian Dance ) mountains:
Haykakan Par (Armenian: Հայկական Պար) is the historical name of the mountain ridge. The range extends in the central part of Historical Armenia, and the form of mountain peaks alternating close to each other reminded people of Armenian folk dances, hence the name "Armenian dance". After the Armenian genocide the ethnic composition changed. Since the 1920s the Turkish republic started the turkification of all Armenian toponyms remaining in the eastern half of present day Turkey. The Haykakan Par mountains came under the wave of turkification[citation needed] and got "Agridag" or "Aras Guney Daglari" names. Same thing happened to almost all the names of eastern half of present-day Turkey , which even at various Ottoman maps was called Western Armenia . The matter is, a Turkish sultan had a courtier-buffoon who also liked to travel. Hes name was Evliya Çelebi . His favorite hobby was cartography , or rather he loved to fool around by distorting any non-Turkish toponyms and recasting them under Turkish ones. After the Armenian Genocide a large territory ( can be compared with Britain ) were emptied but their place names were not consonant with Turkish ones . So Kemalists found nothing better than to make the dream of Sultan's courtier-buffoon come true . The new toponyms given to multiple Armenian towns and villages correspond exactly to those that are on the maps made by ​​Evliya Çelebi in 1671-78. So "Agri Daglari" is a Turkish name for "Haykakan Par" mountains.
