Yenidoğan (Armenian: Ակոռի Akori; Kurdish: Axurî; Russian: Ахури) is a village in eastern Turkey, on the northeastern slope of Mount Ararat, adjacent to the point where the borders of Turkey, Iran, and Armenia meet. It was formerly known as Ahora until 1965 and as Akhuri under Russian administration, before the Treaty of Kars. It was also known as Arguri. The village is a part of the Aralık district of Turkey's Iğdır Province, which largely corresponds to the historic region of Surmali. It is nearly 50 kilometers south of Yerevan, the Armenian capital.
The name "Yenidoğan" literally means "newborn" in the Turkish language.Baltic German explorer Friedrich Parrot speculated that the historic name of "Akhuri" had Biblical origins and derived from the local Armenian tradition that the grapevines of the village were planted by Noah after he descended from the Ark. "The Armenian name of the village contains a distinct allusion to that occurrence," wrote Parrot, "arghanel, in that language, means to set or plant, whence argh, he planted, and urri, the vine." This theory was rejected by French Caucasus scholar Marie-Félicité Brosset.
Numerous examples of ancient, early Proto-cuneiform glyphs have been found on rocks in the vicinity of Yenidoğan.
