Greater Armenia is an Armenian irredentist political goal aimed at uniting all territories perceived as "historically or ethnically Armenian" to the Republic of Armenia. Most political groups (including the Armenian Revolutionary Federation) take the concept to encompass Nagorno-Karabakh (a self-proclaimed, predominately Armenian republic within the internationally recognized borders of Azerbaijan), Javakhk (a predominately Armenian region in present-day Georgia), Nakhichevan (an autonomous exclave of Azerbaijan that was at various times in history part of successive Armenian kingdoms, regions, and republics and once boasted an important Armenian population) and the Kars, Ardahan, and Iğdır provinces of northeastern Turkey (which became part of Russian Armenia by virtue of the [[Russo-Turkish War (1877–1878) but were later ceded to Turkey in the Treaty of Kars). More extreme irredentists take the concept to include parts of northwestern Iran and Cilicia as well, while more moderate Armenian irredentists take the term to exclusively include Nagorno-Karabakh and the territories of Kars, Ardahan, and Iğdır.
