About Kura River
Kura River is a river. Location: Azerbaijan.
The Kura, also known in Georgian as Mtkvari (Georgian: მტკვარი, romanized: mt'k'vari [mt‘k‘ʷäɾi]), is a transboundary river that flows between the Greater Caucasus and Lesser Caucasus mountains. It drains the southern slopes of the Greater Caucasus and northern slopes of the Lesser Caucasus. Starting in northeastern Turkey, the Kura first flows north to Georgia, then southeast into Azerbaijan, where it receives the Aras as a tributary, and finally enters the Caspian Sea.
