The Borders Of Armenia Adopted At The 1919 Paris Peace Conference And Under The Arbitral Award Of Woodrow Wilson

At the Paris Peace Conference in 1919, the borders of a united and indivisible Armenia were discussed and presented within the framework of the project “From Sea to Sea”.

The borders of Armenia were presented by the delegations of the US, France, and Armenia. Despite the protests of opponents of the project, the following border of the Republic of Armenia was established by the arbitral award of then US President Woodrow Wilson.

Below, the borders of United Armenia are highlighted in yellow. Borders of Armenia under Woodrow Wilson’s arbitral award are highlighted in red.
