Why in heaven ,,,wikipedia has putten Albania in the east part of coucas,,,,???? The team should try to create history with facts and not political opinion. There is no link that puts albanian in that part of the world. Please stop creating fiction.... this web it's becoming pathetic and totally unreliable. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.70.59.195 (talkcontribs)

The ancient Greeks referred to the region in question as "Albania", which is why historians uses the name "Caucasian Albania" to distinguish it from the modern country known as Albania (the native name of "Caucasian Albania" is not known, it is only known what that country was called by its neighbours). It is not uncommon that similar names appear in multiple parts of the world: e.g. Galicia / Galicia, Georgia / Georgia, and Zeeland / Zealand. 89.150.160.26 (talk) 22:24, 14 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
