Parskahayk, or Persian Armenia, was a province of historic Armenia north and west of Lake Urmia, bordering Adiabene and Atropatene.1 It is also called Nor Shirakan, and it is one of the fifteen provinces of Greater Armenia.2
The name Persarmenia is also used in a wider sense for the part of Armenia held by Persia, and the province is not the same as that larger area.1
