Iğdır ( kurd. Reşqelas ) is a province in eastern Turkey and borders Armenia , the Azerbaijani exclave of Naxçıvan and Iran . Iğdır's neighboring provinces are Kars in the northwest and Ağrı in the south. Its capital is Iğdır . The previous name was Zuraşat.
Iğdır is the only province in Turkey that borders three states. Because of the vegetation, Iğdır is also called Yeşil Iğdır ("Green Iğdır"). Mount Ararat is largely within the boundaries of Iğdır.
Iğdır was founded on May 27, 1992 as the 76th province of Turkey. Before Iğdır belonged to the province of Kars .
geography
Iğdır is at the crossroads of important connecting roads. From here one could reach the commercial center of Erzurum and also Kars. Another road leads to Iran via Doğubayazıt. The 3588 km² large province is characterized by the contrast between the mountain range of the Great and Small Ararat, rising from the Armenian highlands in the south and the valley of the Aras on the border with Armenia. The peaks of the Great and Small Ararat (Turkish: Büyük Ağrı Dağı and Küçük Ağrı Dağı ) are located in the province of Ağrı, which is named after them.
The temperatures can range from a maximum of 40 ° C to a minimum of −30 ° C. It is remarkable that, compared to other places in the Armenian highlands, the amount of precipitation is low (about 250 mm annual mean), which is due to the proximity of the Ararat.
