About
East Azarbaijan is a cold climate in the northwest of Iran. A land that has come to terms with fighter movements such as Sattar Khan and Bagherkhan, known to the artist's women, is characterized by a solid and delicate and colorful food.
The root of the province's name is Azar, or the fire, that it is impossible to tolerate the harsh winters of the wilderness area.
History
The background of East Azerbaijan returns to the rule of the Medes. This land is changing over and over again, as we know today. In 1316, large parts of East Azarbaijan, along with Astara and Ardebil as the third province of Iran, were named after the Eastern Azerbaijan. Later, the city of Astara and its functions were separated from this province, and the city of Maragheh joined the West Bank. In 1993, with the separation of Ardebil and the formation of a new province, East Azarbaijan Province was identified with the present borders.
Geography
East Azerbaijan is adjacent to the north with the countries of Azerbaijan and Armenia, from the west and southwest with West Azerbaijan province, from the east by Ardebil province and from the south with Zanjan. The rivers and rivers of Aras and Sahand Highlands are one of the most famous natural manifestations of this province. Gardens of walnuts, almonds, figs, grapes, apricots, and trees of the Avantgarde can be seen in different parts of the province.
weather
Azerbaijan is a country of cold and snowy countries, but due to its vastness in different seasons, it experiences different weather conditions. Although the heat season in this province is very short, people in the cities of Jolfa and the Middle Ages also experience temperatures above 40 degrees in the summer.
The cold season in this area begins almost from October and continues until mid-April.
