второй по величине рекой Зангезура, после р. Воротан

Russian to English Science Geology
Река Вохчи является левым притоком реки Аракс и второй по величине рекой Зангезура, после р. Воротан.

I'm confused. Which river is second largest to which river?

Mikhail Mezhiritsky Feb 3, 2008:
Oh, I see now what the confusion is. Yes, Zangezur, according to the article below, is a region in Armenia: http://zangezur.tripod.com/zangezur/zangezur.html

Zangezur's second largest river after the river Vorotan

Vokchi is a left tributary of Araks and Zangazurs second largest river.
Note from asker:
Ah, so Zangezur is not a river! Now I get it. Thanks

the second largest river of the Zangezur after the Vorotan

It would appear that the Voghdji and Vorotan are both left tributaries of the Aras.

see

1)Arax
2)Vorotan
3)Voghdji

However, Arax only partially belongs to the Zangezur mountain range area, thus, the author considers only Vorotan and Voghdji and compares them. As a result, Vorotan is the #1 and Voghdji is #2 (if Zangezur area is considered) - exactly as Eoghan Connolly and Михаил Межирицкий say.
