Margara (, also Romanized as Markara; formerly Margara-Gök) is a town in the Armavir Province of Armenia. Margara is the closest border crossing to Turkey from Yerevan, though Turkey closed the border with Armenia in 1993. The town is located on the other side of Alican. Margara has a road bridge across the Arax River to Turkey. The Border Guard Service of Russia patrols the closed border between Armenia and Turkey.

History

In 2023, the border crossing briefly reopened to allow the passage of humanitarian aid following the Turkey–Syria earthquake for the first time since 1988.
