The western portion of the Lesser Caucasus overlaps and converges with east Turkey and northwest Iran.

It runs parallel to the Greater Caucasus, at a distance averaging about 100 km (62 mi) south from the Likhi Range (Georgia), and limits east Turkey from the north and north-east.

The range was historically called Anticaucasus or Anti-Caucasus (Greek: Αντι-Καύκασος, Russian: Антикавка́з, Анти-Кавка́з).

[3][4] Current usage tends towards using the name Lesser Caucasus, but Anti-caucasus can still be found in modern texts.
