The Akhuryan (Armenian: Ախուրյան, romanized: Akhuryan) or Arpachay (Turkish: Arpaçay) is a river in the South Caucasus. It originates in Armenia and flows from Lake Arpi, along the closed border with Turkey, forming part of the geographic border between the two states, until it flows into the Aras as a left tributary near Bagaran. The Akhuryan is 186 km (116 mi) long, and has a 9,670 km (3,730 sq mi) drainage basin.
Gyumri, the second largest city of Armenia, is located on the east bank of the river.
