The bible doesn't say specifically "Mt Ararat", it does say "in the mountains of ararat".

Ararat used here is describing the mountain chain which really only borders Turkey and extends mostly into Iran.

The articles claim could very well be credible.

It's been extremely difficult for search expeditions to get permission from the Turkish govt and I would imagine getting one from the mad mullahs in Iran to look for a Christian artifact might get your head chopped off.

It would not necessarily be a problem if it was also a part of Islamic belief. You seem to be questioning the fact these people did go on this expedition. May I suggest you take a look at the individuals involved.
