Eastern Armenia

Eastern Armenia

Eastern Armenia was the portion of Ottoman Armenia and Persian Armenia that was ceded to the Russian Empire following the Russo-Turkish War, 1828-1829. [The Americana Annual: An Encyclopedia of Current Events - Page 46by McDannald, Alexander Hopkins] The history of the subregion in Eurasia is covered under Russian Armenia.

The Eastern Armenian dialect of the Armenian language is spoken primarily in the Caucasus region (including modern Armenia) and in Iran and Russia.

Eastern Armenia was part of the Transcaucasian SFSR from 1922, became the Armenian SSR in 1936, and the Republic of Armenia in 1991.
