As I said The only reason why Eastern Anatolia is still called by Europeans "Armenian Highland" is because Armenians introduced it to Europeans with that name. However the Syriacs still call the area up to Ararat "Beth Qardu". Armenians and Kurds lived in this area together for over thousands of years.
