Nor Nakhichevan

Nor Nakhichevan ( _hy. Նոր Նախիջևան, literally New Nakhichevan, _ru. Нахичевань-на-Дону, "Nakhichevan'-na-Donu", literally, "Nakhichevan-on-Don") is an Armenian-populated region in the city of Rostov-on-Don, Russia. In 1778, Catherine the Great invited Armenian merchants from the Crimea to Russia and they established a settlement on the Don, which they named Nor Nakhichevan, after one of the ancient areas of Armenia. In 1928 Nor Nakhichevan was combined with Rostov-on-Don.
