It’s still Ararat according to Google where I am, and more importantly, in the collective Armenian consciousness.
Obligatory „Fuck Turkey“
Google: changing history one day at a time
The name depends on your location, it’s not collective Google change
„Mount Ağrı“ from Armenia, I can confirm.
This is Google’s stupidity, though I’m sure many Turks suggested that Google change the name.
The English name is Ararat, just as the name of Roma is Rome in English, and Venezia is Venice. It doesn’t say Roma or Venezia on Google Maps though does it?
Its mt agri when i google Mt Ararat on google maps
Definitely changed, im in the US
Changed in Germany too.
Turkish name for the mountain comes from the Kurdish name: Agirî. It has nothing to do with pain, yes ağrı also means pain but that’s just homophony.
Same in UK
Seems to be the case in multiple European countries…
It’s not enough to kill Armenians, erase their monuments, and misappropriate their culture, they need to change collective human history to cover up how they got that mountain.
Psychos.
I reckon it’s something related fire in Kurdish language.
I checked, and it’s Ağrı Dağı for me (I’m in the UK)
It’s not a Turkish name, but a kurdish one.
This is the work of Iraqi kurdish diaspora. They salivate at the idea of changing its name from its long spanning toponym to this vague recent toponym, despite not even bordering it and having zero tangible history there.

Still Ararat on google search
but Mount Agri on google maps
Both in France. The pin says Agri Dagi but when you click on it it says Mt. Ararat
In Russia it is still mt.Ararat, maybe because of a lot of suggestions from turks,name changed on google maps?
I can’t wait when arabs will collectively destroy their beloved nationalism and colonialism!
The name Ağrı means “pain” in Turkish. I think it should have stayed as Ararat for historical reasons. I really don’t like when my people keep screwing up historical stuff like this.
Changed for me as well. There should be a way to report a different name, we all did it when the azeris had the name of something in Yerevan changed a while back. I’m not finding it now but when I figure it out I’ll update this post
Turks are so insecure. They have to rename everything so that they don’t have to think about all the people they murdered.
Can confirm the Agri Dagi change from Australia too
This is another case of Turks trying to change a name, but the rest of the world will continue to call it by its previous (true) name. Westerners are not going to start saying „Mount Agri“ any more than they’ve started saying „TOORKIYAAY“.
Nevertheless, if our diaspora was even slightly organized, we could straighten this out with Google.
The recent name change from Ararat to Mount Agri serves as a stark reminder of the ongoing cultural erasure perpetuated by the Turkish government. Once known as the heart of Western Armenia, this region was home to a vibrant Armenian population until the atrocities of the Armenian genocide. The renaming, a deliberate attempt by Turkey to rewrite history, aims to sever the deep-rooted ties Armenians have with this sacred land. It’s disheartening to witness the systematic removal of Armenian heritage, as evidenced by the renaming of Eastern Anatolia to further obscure its rich Armenian history. Mount Ararat, or should I say Mount Agri, stands as a testament to the continued struggle of the Armenian people against cultural erasure and historical distortion.
