History
On 8 November [O.S. 27 October] 1829, Baltic German explorer Friedrich Parrot and Armenian writer Khachatur Abovian climbed Little Ararat.[2] Its eastern flank was on the Iranian side of the border until the early 1930s.
During the Kurdish Ararat rebellion, Kurdish rebels used the area "as a haven against the state in their uprising."[3] Turkey crossed the border and militarily occupied the region, which Iran eventually agreed to cede to Ankara in a territorial exchange.[4][5] The related treaty was signed on 23 January 1932.[6]
