Kura-Aras lowland
Depression in central-southern Azerbaijan From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Kura-Aras Lowland, Kura-Aras Depression or Kura-Aras Basin[1] (Azerbaijani: Kür-Araz ovalığı) is a vast depression in central-southern Azerbaijan defined by the valleys of the Kura River and Aras River. It is situated by the West shore of the Caspian Sea and is part of the Aral-Caspian Depression. It is delimited by the Greater Caucasus from the North, Lesser Caucasus from the West and the Talysh Mountains from the South.[2] The name is derived from the names of the two rivers in the area: the Kura and the Aras.[3]
