Turkish Armenia

Turkish Armenia refers to the region historically linked to Armenian communities within the territory of modern Turkey, particularly before the Armenian Genocide in 1915. Historically, this area was home to a significant Armenian population with its own culture and churches. After the genocide and subsequent geopolitical changes, most Armenians either fled or were killed, leaving only a small number of Armenians remaining today. The term highlights a historical connection of Armenians to these lands, emphasizing the cultural and historical significance of this region for both Armenia and Turkey.
