Greater Armenia or United Armenia (the term used by the Armenian Revolutionary Federation) is an Armenian irredentist political goal aimed at uniting all territories perceived as "historically or ethnically Armenian" to the Republic of Armenia. Most of these territories had suffered under the Armenian Genocide.
This, however, should not be confused with the concept Greater Armenia (Մեծ Հայք, Armenia Magna or Armenia Major – in Greco-Latin sources), which is a geographical concept that was coined in ancient times to distinguish the main part of Armenian lands from Armenia Minor and “Armenian” prefectures of the Roman Empire.
Most political groups (including the ARF) take the concept to encompass the area of Wilsonian Armenia (present-day eastern Turkey as proposed at the Treaty of Sèvres), Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabakh), Javakhk (a predominantly Armenian region in present-day Georgia), and Nakhichevan (an autonomous exclave of Azerbaijan).
