The region and the name "Doğu Anadolu Bölgesi" were first defined at the First Geography Congress in 1941

It has the highest average altitude, largest geographical area, and lowest population density of all regions of Turkey

Most of the region was formerly called the Armenian Highlands or, simply, Armenia

Eastern Anatolia Region is located in the easternmost part of Turkey

It is bounded by Turkey's Central Anatolia Region on the west, its Black Sea Region on the north, its Southeast Anatolia Region and Iraq on the south, and with Iran, Azerbaijan, Armenia and Georgia on the east

The area of the region is 171

061 km², 21% of the total area of Turkey

The total population of the region is 6,100,000 (2000 census)

The region has the second most rural population of Turkey after the Black Sea region

The migration level (to the other regions, especially to Marmara Region) is high and population density (35 person/km²) is lower than the average for Turkey

The average altitude is 2200 m

Major geographic features include plains, plateaus and massifs

There is some volcanic activity today

Massifs and mountains

* There are three massif lines running north-south:
o To the north, the Çimen Dağı, Kop Dağıand Yalnızçam mountains
o In the centre, the Munzur, Karasu Dağı, Aras Dağı mountains
o To the south, Southeast Tauros, Bitlis, Hakkari, and Buzul mountains

* The volcanic mountains Nemrut, Süphan, Tendürek and Ararat are in the region

Plateaus and plains

* The largest plateau in the region is Erzurum-Kars Plato

* The region includes the Malatya, Elazığ, Bingöl, Muş plains and the Van Lake basin

Lakes

* Van Gölü is the largest lake in Turkey

* Hazar
* Balık
* Bulanık
* Nazik
* Çıldır
* Erçek

Rivers

* Fırat
* Dicle
* Aras
* Kura
* Zap

Since most of the region is far from the sea, and has high altitude, it has a long winter and short summer periods

During the winter, it is very cold and snowy, during summer the weather is cool in the highlands and warm in the lowlands

The region has the lowest average temperature of all Turkish regions

(-25°C)

Although it can get below -40°C

The summer average is about 20°C

The region's annual temperature difference is the highest in Turkey

Some areas in the region have different microclimates

As an example Iğdır (near Mount Ararat) has a milder climate

The region contains 11% percent of the total forested area of Turkey

Oak and yellow pine trees form the majority of the forests

It is rich in native plants and animals
