Diocese of Aragatsotn, Armenian Apostolic Church diocese in Aragatsotn Province, Armenia.
The Diocese of Aragatsotn extends its authority across multiple parishes within the Aragatsotn Province, with its headquarters situated in the city of Ashtarak.
The diocese received its formal establishment on May 30, 1996, under Catholicos Karekin I, following Armenia's territorial administration reform after Soviet independence.
