Akyaka (Ottoman Turkish: شوره کل, romanized: Şoregil, Şöregel;[2] Azerbaijani: Ağyaxa or Şörəyəl; Armenian: Ղզըլ-Չախչախ, romanized: Ghzyl-Chakhchakh) is a town in Kars Province in eastern Turkey.

[8] Akyaka is a border checkpoint on the railway into Armenia, which has been closed since 1993.

The route D.060 from Kars runs next to the railway leading to the border.
