Greater Hayk had an area of 311,000 km2. The fifteen provinces of Greater Armenia had altogether 191 districts, 37 of which are in Vaspurakan, and 20 in Ayrarat. The largest and most famous province was Ayrarat, where most of the Armenian capitals – including Yerevan, Ani, Artashat, Dvin, Armavir, Kars, Yerazgavors, Vagharshapat, Yervandashat, and Bagaran were located. Upper Hayk, Tsopk, Turuberan, Vaspurakan, Syunik, Artsakh, and Gugark have played an important role in the history of the Armenian people.
Aside from Greater Hayk, the Armenian people formed a significant majority in Lesser Hayk (80, 000 km2). In the 11th century, Armenians created a powerful state in Cilicia located on the north-eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea.
