Western Armenia (for other name see below) is a term, prmarily used by Armenians, to refer to Armenian-inhabited areas of the Armenian Highland that were part of the Ottoman Empire and now are part of the Republic of Turkey.
After the Hamidian Massacres of 1894-1896 and the Armenian Genocide (1915-1923) the indigenous Armenian population was either massacred, escaped to Russia or deported to the Syrian deserts. Currently, mostly Kurds and Turks live in that area, with minorities being Azerbaijanis, Laz people and Hamshenis.

History
Ottoman conquest
After Turkish-Persian wars of 1602-1639 Western Armenia became part of Ottoman Empire.[1] Since Russo-Turkish War, 1828-1829 that term is referred to the Armenian-populated historical regions of the Ottoman Empire that remained under Ottoman rule after the eastern part was ceded to the Russian Empire.
Western (Ottoman) Armenia was composed of six vilayets (vilâyat-ı sitte), the vilayets of Erzurum, Van, Bitlis, Diyarbekir, Kharput, and Sivas.[2]
World War I
During the collapse of Ottoman Empire Western Armenia remained under Turkish rule, and in 1894–96 and 1915 the Ottoman Empire perpetrated systematic massacres and forced deportations of Armenians[3] resulting in the Armenian Genocide.
During the Caucasus Campaign of the World War I, Russian Empire occupied most of the Armenian-populated regions of the Ottoman Empire, where a temporary provincial government was established in 1915–1918.
Current situation
The fate of Western Armenia — commonly referred to as "The Armenian Question" — is considered as a key issue in the modern history of the Armenian people.[4] The first and second congresses of Western Armenians took place in Yerevan in 1917 and 1919. Since 2000, an organizing committee of congress of heirs of Western Armenians who survived the Armenian Genocide is active in diasporan communities.[5]
Currently, the Republic of Armenia doesn't have any territorial claims to the Republic of Turkey, although, some political parties such as the Armenian Revolutionary Federation, the largets Armenian party in the diaspora, claim the area given to the Republic of Armenia (1918-1920) by US President Woodrow Wilson's arbitral award in 1920, also known as Wilsonian Armenia.
