Iğdır, Provincial capital in eastern Turkey
Iğdır stands at the intersection of three international borders, with Armenia to the north, Azerbaijan to the east, and Iran to the south.
The region transformed from an ancient settlement into a modern province in 1992, separating from the larger territory of Kars Province.
The provincial population includes Turkish, Kurdish, and Azerbaijani communities, each maintaining their traditional customs, languages, and celebrations throughout the year.
The province maintains agricultural production throughout the year due to its geographical position and climate, enabling the cultivation of cotton and various fruits.
The Aras Bird Research and Education Center in Iğdır documents and studies numerous bird species migrating through this eastern corridor of Turkey.
