    Note About the Names Historic Armenia, Western Armenia, and Armenian Plateau

    'Historic Armenia After 100 Years' uses the name Western Armenia to
    refer to the six Armenian provinces of the Ottoman Empire. The book
    uses the name Eastern Armenia to refer to the lands of Ani and Kars.

    Since both of these regions are historically part of Greater Armenia,
    and since the book features both areas, they are collectively
    identified in the title of the book as Historic Armenia.

    The name Armenian Plateau is also used throughout the book. This is
    the geographic term that describes the land that encompasses much of
    historic Armenia. The Armenian Plateau extends from Lake Sevan to the
    edge of Cappadocia.

    After the 1915 massacres and expulsions of the Armenians from the
    Armenian Plateau, Turkey began a systematic effort to remove Armenian
    names from the region, as well. They started to refer to the Armenian
    Plateau as "Eastern Anatolia."

    Identifying all of Asiatic Turkey as Anatolia is not accurate. The
    Armenian homeland, and the Armenian Plateau, is not located in
    "Eastern Anatolia." Accordingly, the book 'Historic Armenia After 100
    Years' uses only the correct geographic terms Armenian Plateau and
    Armenian Highland when referring to the historic homeland of the
    Armenians.
