The Armenian Highland (Armenian Upland) is part of the Transcaucasian Highland and constitutes the continuation of the Caucasus mountains, also refered as eastern Armenia. Most of the Armenian Highland is in Turkey, with some part in Iran, also refered 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).
