The Republic of Western Armenia, also known as the State of Armenia,[8][9][10] is a government-in-exile claiming sovereignty over parts of the Armenian highlands including sections of Western Armenia as well as Nagorno–Karabakh, and Nakhichevan.[11] The self-declared country says it has its own presidency, government, parliament, constitution, national anthem, and coat of arms.[12]
The individuals of the Republic of Western Armenia claim to be the legal successor of the Armenian state recognised by international law in 1920, and therefore internationally recognised.[13]
