Armenia on the Maps of Europe and the US – 1922-1925

Below are cartographic materials produced in the first half of the 1920s. These American, German, and British maps are of great interest as they show the borders of Turkey.

In accordance with the maps, the eastern border of Turkey passes along the line which was approved by the arbitration decision of the 28th President of the United States Woodrow Wilson.

These cartographic materials are the best evidence that even after the Sovietization of the Republic of Armenia and the proclamation of Turkey as a Republic, the border between Armenia and Turkey was considered the border approved by the US President in November 1920, which did not change and was not considered canceled by any international agreement.
