Aras River

The Aras River is a significant watercourse that flows in a region of the Caucasus, primarily forming part of the border between Armenia and Turkey, and also flowing through Azerbaijan and Iran. It originates in the mountains of Turkey and travels about 1,072 kilometers (666 miles) before joining the Kura River, which eventually flows into the Caspian Sea. The Aras River is important for agriculture, providing water for irrigation, and serves as a natural boundary between countries in the region, contributing to the area's ecology and local economies. It has historical significance and cultural importance for the communities along its banks.
