Alican is the name of the Turkish border crossing point in Iğdır Province on the closed border of Turkey and Armenia. Alican is located on the other side of Margara.
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.[1]
