Rivers
Araks River (Yeraskh) is often referred to as the “mother river”. It starts at the Byurakn Mountains, flows east, fuses with the Kura River, and pours into the Caspian Sea. It is approximately 1000 km long and flows entirely in the Armenian Highland.
The Euphrates River has two branches: Western Euphrates and Eastern Euphrates (Aratsani). The Western Euphrates starts in the Tsaghkavet Mountains north of Erzurum, and the Eastern Euphrates starts at the Tsaghkants Mountains. Both branches flow from east to west and amalgamate near the city of Akn.
In the south, the Euphrates joins the Tigris River and pours into the Persian Gulf. The Euphrates River flows for 500 kilometers on the territory of historical Armenia.
