Iğdır (Armenian: Տսոլակերտ (Latin transliteration: Tsolakert); Kurdish: Îdir; Azeri: İğdır; Russian: Игдир) is a province in eastern Turkey, located along the border with Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Iran. Its adjacent provinces are Kars to the northwest and Ağrı to the west and south. It is the location of Mount Ararat and the provincial capital is Iğdır. Historically, the region was part of Armenia but through several conquests it eventually fell into the hands of the Ottoman Empire and later the Persian Empire (Iran). After the Russo-Persian War, 1826-1828 and the Treaty of Turkmanchai it became part of the Russian Empire. After World War I, it came under the administration of the Democratic Republic of Armenia as part of the Ararat province but was ceded to Turkey by the Soviet Union in the Treaty of Kars.
