The **Quri River** or **Quru Chay** or **Quri Chay** ([Persian](/source/Persian_language): قورو چای; [Azerbaijani](/source/Azerbaijani_language): Quru Çay قورو چای) is a river in [East Azerbaijan](/source/East_Azerbaijan) province of [Iran](/source/Iran), in the [endorheic basin](/source/Endorheic_basin) of [Lake Urmia](/source/Lake_Urmia). It originates in the mountains south of [Tabriz](/source/Tabriz) and joins the [Aji Chay](/source/Aji_Chay) just northeast of central Tabriz. Divided by the Quri, the northern and southern parts of Tabriz are connected by several bridges.[1]

The river is limited by two [flood control](/source/Flood_control) walls and two southern and northern parkways calls [Chaykenar Parkway](/source/Chaykenar_Parkway), which almost bisect Tabriz through the middle to northern and southern half. The Chaykenar Parkways connect the most eastern and western parts of the city.

The name "Quri Chay" means "dry river", and at the end of the 20th century the water, when present, was polluted and undrinkable.[2]
