Aragatsotn Province, Administrative province in western Armenia

The Aragatsotn province encompasses 2,756 square kilometers of varied terrain, including mountain slopes, agricultural fields, and numerous rural settlements across western Armenia.

The province formed in 1995 through the administrative reorganization of four previous districts: Aparan, Aragaz, Ashtarak, and Talin into a single territorial unit.

The Aragatsotn region maintains a population of 124,500 residents, with Armenian as the primary language and a notable Yezidi minority representing over five percent.

The administrative center Ashtarak coordinates regional development, transportation networks, and government services for 111 rural communities containing 117 villages.

Mount Aragats influences the region's name, which translates to 'at the foot of Aragats,' reflecting the geographical connection to Armenia's highest mountain.
