ZANGEZUR MOUNTAINS

The 'Zangezur Mountains' comprise a mountain range that defines the border between Armenia's southern province of Syunik and Azerbaijan's Nakhichevan Autonomous Republic. The second large tracts of forests are located in Zangezur where they cover more than 20% of the territory and reach an elevation of 2,200-2,400 m. The rest of Armenia is almost devoid of forests. They occur only as small islands on the eastern slopes of the Aragats and Tsakhkunyats ranges and on the southwestern spurs of the Gegham mountains.
