Anamur, Tufanbeyli and Yayladağ[edit]

In the second paragraph, the borders of the region :

Çukurova starts from Anamur at the west, extending east along Mediterrenean, stretching as north as Tufanbeyli, wrapping around Gulf of İskenderun, turning south at Erzin and finally terminating at Yayladağı on the border to Syria.

Well, not to my knowledge. Çukurova is a plain. Anamur, Tufanbeyli and Yayladağı are not on this plain. In fact all three are at least 100 km far from the nearest point of Çukurova. I think the only justification to add these cities is that Anamur is in Mersin province (west), Tufanbeyli is in Adana province (north) and Yayladağ is in Hatay province (south). But the provinces are administrative units and Çukurova is a geographical region. Nedim Ardoğa (talk) 10:34, 14 October 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It is true that geographically Çukurova refers to the plain, but more generally,also taking into account the economical and cultural influence, Çukurova borders are extended making it similar to the borders of former Cilicia and the Vilayet of Adana. Here Çukurova is taken as the continuation of the latter, only additions are some districts of Hatay. Erzin and Dörtyol were part of the Vilayet of Adana, the rest of the Hatay districts were not. Here Hatay is fully included in Çukurova.Seyhan668 (talk) 21:35, 6 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar[edit]

Made some changes to the grammar of the article to make it sound better but tried not to affect the content of the article.

What is Çukurova?[edit]

Now, this article looks like a real mess due to excessive editing by a single user. Even the name Çukurova is manipulated and taken out of its objective context. Çukurova is a plain area that covers the lowlands of three Turkish provinces, namely Adana, Mersin, and Osmaniye. Neither Hatay Province nor mountainous areas of said provinces are included in Çukurova. Re-editing is more than necessary. Behemoth (talk) 18:39, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Mountains of Çukurova", for example, is a pure oxymoron. Behemoth (talk) 18:43, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Cilicia[edit]

I don't like the fact that the Kingdom of Cilicia is explicitly ommited from this article. Please, work on that. --Vitilsky (talk) 02:06, 13 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

I added a sentence and a link to it, because I thought this intentional omission was unfaithful, but there should definitely be more said about it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.157.215.105 (talk) 20:54, 1 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
