Dzoraget (river)
The 883rd longest river in the world
The Dzoraget is a river in the Lori region in Northern Armenia. It originates in the Bazum Mountains and flows west to east through spectacular gorges around Stepanavan. It finally feeds into the river Debed near Dzoragyugh, which ultimately drains to the Kura. Dzoraget is a compound word in Armenian meaning Gorge-river and formed with the lexemes [dzɔɾ] ('gorge') and [ɡɛt] ('river') joined by the interfix [ɑ]. In certain places (e.g. at Kurtan), the gorge is over 200 metres (660 ft) deep.
Flows through: Armenia.
