The Zangezur Mountains (Armenian: Զանգեզուրի լեռներ or Սյունյաց լեռներ, Azerbaijani: Zəngəzur dağları) are a mountain range that defines the border between Armenia's southern provinces of Syunik, Vayots Dzor, and Azerbaijan's Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. The Zangezur region is internationally recognized as being the second-largest tract of forests in Armenia. Additionally, located in the Zangezur Mountains, the forests cover more than 20% of the territory of Armenian Syunik province and reach an elevation of 2,200-2,400 m (4,000 feet).[1]
