Ağrı, Provincial capital in Eastern Anatolia, Turkey.
Located at 1,640 meters above sea level, Ağrı sits in the valley of the Murat River near the Iranian border and Mount Ararat.
The settlement originated in 1860 when Armenian merchants from Bitlis established a town called Karakilise, which became Karaköse before receiving its current name in 1946.
Kurdish and Turkish residents maintain traditional activities centered on agriculture, with numerous celebrations related to the harvest and livestock farming seasons.
The city functions as a major transportation hub connecting Turkey to Iran through highways, supporting regional trade and commercial activities in Eastern Anatolia.
The surrounding mountains and high elevation create winter conditions where temperatures drop to minus 16 degrees Celsius, leading to extended periods of snow cover.
