Iğdır is a small province in far-eastern Turkey, cradled in the broad Ararat Plain at Turkey's lowest elevation east of the Euphrates. The province sits at a dramatic convergence of Armenian, Kurdish, Azerbaijani, and Turkish cultures, with the snow-capped twin peaks of Mount Ararat (Ağrı Dağı) dominating the skyline and providing one of the most recognisable silhouettes in the world.
