Sein Zentrum ist die Stadt Urmia. Die etwa 1000 Kilometer Hauptstraßen und Autobahnen, die den nördlichsten Punkt der Provinz (Bazargan-Grenze) mit dem südlichsten Teil (Bukan), der Provinz West-Aserbaidschan verbinden, verfügen über eine ausreichende Erreichbarkeit für den Bodenverkehr. Nach den archäologischen Funden von Teppe Hasanlu und anderen historischen Entdeckungen hat diese Provinz mehr als fünftausend Jahre Geschichte und viele verschiedene Menschen haben in verschiedenen Epochen hier gelebt. West Aserbaidschan basierend auf seiner alten Geschichte hat viele alte Denkmäler, von denen einige globale Bedeutung haben und in der Liste des UNESCO Weltkulturerbes eingetragen

Son centre est la ville d’Urmia. Avoir environ 1 000 kilomètres de routes principales et d’autoroutes reliant le point le plus au nord de la province (frontière de Bazargan) à sa partie la plus méridionale (Bukan), province de l’Azerbaïdjan occidental, offre une accessibilité adéquate au transit terrestre. Selon les découvertes archéologiques de Teppe Hasanlu et d’autres découvertes historiques, cette province a plus de cinq mille ans d’histoire et de nombreuses personnes y ont résidé à travers différentes périodes de l’histoire. La province de l’Azerbaïdjan occidental, fondée sur son histoire ancienne, compte de nombreux monuments anciens dont certains ont une signification mondiale et ont été inscrits sur la liste du
