User 128.253.117.85! You have posted this:
"There are also many Uyghurs living in Khovd.
Originally this aimaq, as well as Bayan Olgiy to the west were part of Chinese Turkistan, and not Mongolia."
Many Uyghurs is not any number or percent, it looks like your private opinion, and you are trying use your private POV as argument for the political declaration:
Two aimags (not aimaqs) - Bayan-Ölgii (not Bayan Olgiy) and Khovd - are not Mongolia part, but they are the Chinese Turkistan part.
This declarations are not correct and can not be placed in WP, in WP is avaliable Neutral point of view (NPOV) only.
Are there any sources that there are any autokhtone Uighurs in Mongolia? There are Kazakhs in Bayan-Olgii and maybe Khovd, but afaik no Uighurs.
Second parts of Khovd and Bayan-Olgii may have been part of Xinjiang, but not of "Chinese Turkestan". Yaan08:28, 18 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
I don't know such kind of sources, all Mongolia autokhtone population has nomad roots, but uyghurs are not nomads, I guess. Separatists in Xinjiang are Uyghurs, but nobody knows uyghur separatists in Mongolia. Bogomolov.PL09:29, 18 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
I wouldn't really be surprised to find some ethnic Uyghurs in the area, their primary settlement area being in neighbouring Xinjiang. But of course that still means we need sources before we can declare them to be "many".
At the time of the Qing Dynasty, Bayan-Ölgii and parts of Khovd did indeed not belong to Outer Mongolia, but to Turkestan. My best guess is that the IP was trying to allude to this fact, but unfortunately the result was rather inaccurate and misleading. --Latebird09:47, 18 May 2007 (UTC)Reply
The problem is that Xinjiang is an administrative unit, and all one needs to establish whether Khovd is/was part of it is a map or an account on who rules/ruled the area. Turkistan is just some imaginary concept, and everyone feels free to define it as big as he wants. there once was a Uighur population, but again that doesn't mean there is one now.

Turkistan (Turkestan) conception is: all lands populated with Turk peoples is Turkistan, so Kazakh population in two western aimags makes possible clame as East Turkistan part. But East Turkistan has political sense - it is name of the territory with islamic Uyghur rebels, where they want islamic national state creation. It is very probleme point for Chinese and East Turkistan outspreading to Mongolian territory can be enterpreted as
1. Uyghur pretensions to unite this territories with future islamic country
2. Chinese pretensions with logic: East Turkistan is Chinese, Khovd and Olgii are East Turkistan parts and so China parts.
The Manchurian Khaan organised the nowadays territory of Bayan-Olgii and western parts of nowadyas Kobdo and Uvs aimags (populated by non-Khalha ethnic groups) into the Kobdo Territory within Khalha or Outer Mongolia. He settled there the Oirats who abandoned the Jungarian Khanate and Kalmykia and submitted to the Qing Empire. The Kobdo Territory comprised in itself the aimag of Unen Zorigtu Khan and of Toegs Kuleg Dalai Khan, collectively called the Two Derbet (Oirat) aimags--Дөрвөд хоёр аймаг. Thus Bayan-Olgii was populated by the Oirat-Urianhai until the 1940s when the Choibalsan's govt deported them to Kobdo aimag so that the Kazakhs would be able to build their ethnic aimag--Bayan-Olgii. Some of the western territories of former Zasagtu Khan aimag were integrated into Kobdo and Uvs aimag. Thus, the eastern soums of these aimags are still populated by Khalha people.
The Uigurs have long been expelled from Mongolia by the Kirghiz. The Khoton (Hotan) ethnic group in Uvs aimag, who are integrated into the Oirat culture, descended from Uigurs captured by the Oirats in the 17th century. Gantuya eng18:35, 25 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Kobdo is the city traditional name (city exists since 1685), but aimag was Khovd (actual city name). Kobdo was in use on Russian maps since 1970's. In official documents Mongolian officials used Kobdo in Russian and Khovd in English (in 1980's). In Russian WP aimag is Kobdo Bogomolov.PL09:29, 18 May 2007 (UTC)Reply

Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
