Western Armenia is a name given to the Armenian part of the Ottoman Empire, when the eastern part of this territory was ceded to the Russian Empire following the Russo-Turkish War, 1828-1829. The remaining Armenian part of the empire, Western Armenia, was also referred to as Ottoman Armenia. Western Armenia was composed of Six Vilayets (vilâyat-ı sitte), the vilayets of Erzurum, Van, Bitlis, Diyarbakır, Kharput, and Sivas.

The Armenian borders drawn by Woodrow Wilson at the Treaty of Sèvres incorporated parts of Erzurum, Trabzon, Bitlis, and Van vilayets, securing Armenia an outlet to the Black Sea at the port of Trabzon. Sèvres Treaty was recognized by both Armenian and Turkish governments, but was never put to motion. The Lausanne Treaty imposed by Mustafa Kemal nullified the previous treaty, even though Lausanne was signed by Kemalist Turkey only, and not by Armenia. Certain Armenian nationalist organizations consider Western Armenia as being rightfully part of the Republic of Armenia for these reasons.
