Aras corridor


The district of Aralık includes the Aras corridor, which connects Turkey with Azerbaijan through the Nakhchivan exclave. The corridor is formed by the confluence of the Aras and Lower Karasu rivers and was ceded to Turkey by the Soviet Union in the Treaty of Kars.[7] It is predominantly inhabited by Kurds and is the location of the Dilucu Border Gate, the only border crossing between Turkey and Azerbaijan, opened in May 1992.
