卡尔斯省

卡尔斯是土耳其东北部的一个省份，省会卡尔斯，与亚美尼亚共和国交界。1878-1917年今日卡尔斯省的全境都是俄罗斯卡尔斯州。1918-1920年该省被亚美尼亚民主共和国以凡南德省的名称统治，省会仍然是卡尔斯。根据《卡尔斯条约》，该地区被从苏联划给土耳其。到九十年代为止，阿尔达汉省和伊戈蒂尔省一直是卡尔斯省的一部分。

Kars is a province (Turkish: il) 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 provinces of Ardahan and Iğdır were until the 1990s part of Kars Province.
