lol, actually, here is a nice turkish website for you

if you notice, every time they say agri, they have (ararat) next to it.
so does this one..

a simple google search would suffice to see that even the turks speak of it as ararat.
clearly, the only reason why the holy armenian mount is mentionned as agri, is for political purposes, a government website has to call it agri, it's turkified name, but knowing full well that most turks arn't even aware of agri being it's name, for they call it ararat, that is why they always put 'ararat' beside it. i highly doubt that they would add ararat to please the armenians, but rather for turkish people themselves to be able to mentally locate it.

i have had conversations with many other turks who call it ararat commonly, all this leads me to believe that your usage of the term 'agri' is obvious provocation, since even UNESCO and international organisations call it ararat.

Nobody here calls it anything other than Agri, as stated in Wiki. Kurds and Turks have different names for it but the name is not Ararat. If you want to know what we call the mt. just take a look at Turkish web pages. Even in English web pages we use first Agri then ararat.

ANd since I am a Turk, you'll be seeing me write Agri a lot more.
