Urmia

Urmia (pronounced ( listen)) (Azerbaijani/Persian:اورمیه or ارومیه; Kurdish: Ûrmiye, Wirmê, or Urmê; Aramaic: ܐܘܪܡܝܐ‎; Armenian: Ուրմիա) is a city in and the capital of West Azerbaijan Province, Iran. Urmia is situated at an altitude of 1,330 m above sea level, and is located along the Shahar Chay river (City River) on the Urmia Plain. Lake Urmia lies to the east of the city, with the mountainous Turkish border to the west. Urmia is the 10th most populated city in Iran. At the 2012 census, its population was 1,265,721 with 700,000 households. The city's inhabitants are predominantly Azeris, who live alongside minorities of Kurds, Assyrians, Jews and Armenians. The city is the trade center for a fertile agricultural region where fruit (especially apple and grape) and tobacco are grown. An important town by the 9th century, Urmia was seized by the Seljuk Turks (1184), and later occupied a number of times by the Ottoman Turks. Urmia was the seat of the first U.S. Christian mission in Iran (1835).
