Yerevan

The administrative division of Yerevan encompasses twelve distinct districts, each with its own local government offices and municipal departments covering 223 square kilometers.

The administrative organization of Yerevan dates back to 1936 when the city first established eight districts, which later expanded to twelve during the post-Soviet period.

Each district maintains community centers where residents participate in traditional Armenian dance classes, music lessons, and regularly scheduled neighborhood cultural gatherings.

The administrative divisions of Yerevan provide residents with localized services, including document processing, business registration, and municipal permit applications through district offices.

The Kentron administrative district contains Republic Square, where the main government buildings incorporate pink tuff stone in their architectural design.
