Aralik is a town and district of the Igdir Province in the Eastern Anatolia region of Turkey. Part of the district forms the international border between Turkey and Armenia, which has been closed since 1993, and the border between Turkey and Iran. The town of Aralik is mainly inhabited by Azerbaijanis.
The district of Aralik 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. It is predominately inhabited by Kurds and is the location of the Dilucu Border Gate, the only border crossing between Turkey and Azerbaijan, opened in May 1992.
