Kars (in Armenian: Ghars) is a province of Turkey, located in the northeastern part of the country. It shares part of its border with the Republic of Armenia. From 1878 until 1917 all of the present-day province of Kars was part of the Russian oblast of Kars. From 1918 to 1920 the province was under the administration of the Democratic Republic of Armenia as the Vanand province (with the city of Kars as its capital). Its territory was ceded to Turkey by the Soviet Union in the Treaty of Kars. The territory is still disputable as the Treaty of Kars was not legally ratified by any country of the South Caucasus, including the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic and its successor, the Republic of Armenia, and thus bearing no legal consequences for those countries  | Unsold |
