Are the Kaçkar Mountains the same as the Pontic Mountains? According to their respective articles, they have the same highest peak. Someone who knows more on the subject may want to propose a merger... 164.107.201.116 01:32, 5 April 2007 (UTC)
The author of the article claims that the Kaçkar is an Armenian name, without referring an etymological source. In the dictionary prepared by Turkish Language Associations, a governmental association which works on the Turkish language and the etymology of the Turkish words, Kaçkar is a locally used Turkish word. It means high, rocky, cliff location. However, the author does not find this reference reliable. An association working on etymology should apparently be good enough as an etymological source.
The name Kachkar could have derived from Köşker families, who are thought to be descendants of an old Türkmen branch who migrated to Anatolia from Central Asia in 11th or 12th century. The name resembles to Kashgar, which is an old Turkish word. Kashgar is also a name of a city in Uygur Region of China (Urumchi) where Turkic Uygur people are living. A very similar word Kochkor is used by Kirghiz people, and Koshgar by Kazaks. I will write more about the connection later.

It is important to use information from more sources while writing an article, especially about the origin of words. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Yasemin83 ( talk • contribs) 14:19, 26 July 2013 (UTC)
