The Republic of Western Armenia, also known as the State of Armenia, is a government-in-exile claiming sovereignty over parts of the Armenian highlands including sections of Western Armenia as well as Nakhichevan, and sometimes also Nagorno-Karabakh. The self-declared country says it has its own presidency, government, parliament, constitution, national anthem, and coat of arms.

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.
