It would mean Mount Agrı (Ararat) would no longer be within Turkish borders. When Atatürk founded the Turkish Republic, he did so declaring "no more, no less" with regards to Turkish land territory.

The contoversial map was first published by former US Army official Ralph Peters in the unofficial Armed Forces magazine
