Labeled Map of Armenia with States

Armenia is administratively divided into ten provinces, known locally as marzes, and the capital city of Yerevan, which has a separate administrative status. Therefore, Armenia has ten provinces plus Yerevan rather than eleven provinces.

The ten provinces are Aragatsotn, Ararat, Armavir, Gegharkunik, Kotayk, Lori, Shirak, Syunik, Tavush, and Vayots Dzor.

A province map helps students understand the country’s administrative organization and identify the location of regional centers. The word “states” is sometimes used informally in map searches, but “provinces” or “regions” is the more accurate description of Armenia’s administrative divisions.

Yerevan is the capital and largest city of Armenia. It is located in the northeastern part of the Ararat Plain, along both sides of the Hrazdan River. The city serves as a center for national government, commerce, education, transportation, and culture.

Yerevan has a long history. The ancient fortress of Erebuni was founded in 782 BCE by King Argishti I of Urartu. Its archaeological remains are an important part of the city’s historical heritage.

In 2012, Yerevan was designated a UNESCO World Book Capital. The program highlighted reading, publishing, literacy, and cultural activities, coinciding with the 500th anniversary of Armenian printing.

Yerevan is also divided into 12 administrative districts, including Kentron, Erebuni, Arabkir, Avan, and Shengavit. These districts are subdivisions of the capital, not additional provinces of Armenia.
