At that time, there was no state or administrative unit called Armenia to divide it. At that time, only Erivan Province (Safavid Empire) → Erivan Khanate → Armenian Oblast → Erivan Governorate existed in that place. Nominated and these specified articles duplicate each other. Under what agreement was it divided? Who transferred to Russia? The contract was signed between whom? And the map indicated there is also fictional Sulh220 (talk) 12:44, 13 December 2020 (UTC)

- Keep Armenia is an idea, even if it is not always politically descrbed in that way. I would argue that the article be moved to Russian Empire Armenia. There was a concept of Armenia, as the areas where there was a large or majority ethnic Armenian population, even if there was no political unit of Armenia.John Pack Lambert (talk) 20:03, 14 December 2020 (UTC)
- Keep Assuming article is renamed to Armenian under Russian rule or something. Addictedtohistory (talk) 20:06, 15 December 2020 (UTC)
- Keep This term is used in dozens of WP:RS in order to refer to the period in Eastern Armenian history that directly followed the Iranian/Persian period. One example: "Announcements written in Armenian were circulated in Armenian villages, and Russian soldiers, some of them Armenian, together with Cossacks "strongly persuaded" any reluctant Armenian to leave Iran. Between 1828 and 1831, 35,560 Armenians left the Azarbayjan Province and moved into the newly formed Russian Armenian Province, which was soon identified as "Russian Armenia" in order to distinguish from "Turkish Armenia." -- George Bournoutian. (2018). "Armenia and Imperial Decline: The Yerevan Province, 1900-1914". Routledge. page 20
