The western portion of the Lesser Caucasus overlaps and converges with the high plateau of Eastern Anatolia, in the far northeast of Turkey. It runs parallel to the Greater Caucasus, at a distance averaging about south from Likhi Range (Georgia) and limits the Armenian Highland from the North and North-East. It is connected to the Greater Caucasus by the Likhi Range (Georgia) and separated from it by the Kolkhida Lowland (Georgia) in the West and Kura-Aras Lowland (Azerbaijan) (by Kura River) in the East. The highest peak is Aragats, .〔 The borders between Georgia, Turkey, Armenia, and Azerbaijan run through the range, although its crest does not usually define the border. ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lesser Caucasus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
