Yerevan is treated separately and granted special administrative status as the country's capital. The chief executive in each of 10 marzes is the marzpet, appointed by the government of Armenia. In Yerevan, the chief executive is the mayor, elected by the Yerevan City Council.
The following is a list of the provinces with population, area, and density information.[1] Figures are from the Statistical Committee of Armenia.[2] The area of the Gegharkunik Province includes Lake Sevan which covers 1,278 square kilometres (493 sq mi) of its territory:
Within each province of the republic, there are municipal communities (hamaynkner, singular hamaynk), currently considered the second-level administrative division in Armenia. Each municipality - known officially as community, either rural or urban- is a self-governing entity and consists of one or more settlements (bnakavayrer, singular bnakavayr). The settlements are classified as either towns (kaghakner, singular kaghak) or villages (gyugher, singular gyugh). As of January 2018, Armenia is divided into 503 communities, of which 46 are urban and 457 are rural. The capital, Yerevan, also holds the status of a community.[3] Additionally, Yerevan is divided into twelve semi-autonomous districts.
