The Armenian Highland (Armenian Upland) is part of the Transcaucasian Highland and constitutes the continuation of the Caucasus mountains, also referred as eastern Armenia. Most of the Armenian Highland is in Turkey, with some part in Iran, also referred as western Armenia. Almost all of Armenia is within the Armenian Highland. Armenia also extends to the Javakheti region of Southern Georgia, where it is referred to as Javakheti Plateau, and Western part of Azerbaijan.
Its total area is about 400,000 sq.km. (larger than the area of Japan). The highest point is Mount Ararat, 5,165 metres (16,945 ft). It is a mixture of lava plateaus, volcanic cones, and fault-fold ranges featuring mountain steppes and semi-deserts. There are a number of lakes in tectonic depressions (Lake Sevan, Lake Van, Lake Urmia). Though the name is often shown in international atlases, the name Armenian Highland or Armenian Upland is not used by the neighbouring countries of Armenia for political and historical reasons.
