ADMINISTRATIVE DIVISIONS OF ARMENIA
Armenia is administratively divided into 10 provinces, to which the special district of the capital must be added; Syunik and Gegharkunik are the two largest provinces, while Kotayk, Armavir and Ararat compete for the primacy of the most populated province, each with around 250,000 inhabitants, a figure significantly lower than that of the district of the capital Yerevan, which hosts over 1 million people.Only Erevan and Gyumri, albeit slightly in his case, exceed one hundred thousand inhabitants; the main urban centers are concentrated in the area of the capital or in the north of the country, while to the south there are just a couple of them.
