Iğdır Province, Province in Eastern Anatolia, Turkey
Iğdır Province covers 3,664 square kilometers of land along the borders of Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Iran, featuring Mount Ararat in its territory.
The region changed hands between Persian, Russian, and Ottoman empires until 1992, when it was established as an independent province separate from Ağrı.
The province reflects a mix of Turkish, Kurdish, and Azerbaijani influences through its traditional foods, music, and local customs.
Agriculture drives the local economy with wheat and cotton production, supported by the warmer climate compared to other regions of Eastern Turkey.
The Aras Bird Research Center conducts studies along the Aras River, documenting various bird species in their natural migration patterns.
