Eastern Armenian and Persian seem to display both overt wh-movement and wh-in situ properties. This paper argues that these languages do not have optional wh-movement. Evidence from the distributional properties of the two constructions shows that wh-in situ and overt wh-extraction are two distinct processes. We argue that overt movement of wh-phrases is not wh-movement but rather an instance of scrambling. Wh-in situ is the strategy for forming wh-questions in these languages and should be analyzed as an operator-variable relation.
