Armenia Formed from 926 Parts

I doubt that I'm the only person who is confounded by names of communities. You hear Dilijan, Noyemberian, Spitak, Kirovakan, etc., and wonder: how many such areas are there in Armenia? Well, wonder no more!

All Armenia is divided into 926 territorial-administrative units, called communities, including 48 urban and 866 rural communities. The biggest community is the capital city Yerevan, which is said to have 1.1 million population.

The second biggest community is the town of Gyumri, the administrative center of the north-western province of Shirak. It has 147,000 population. Vanadzor, the capital of north-eastern Lori has 105,000 population.

As of January 1, 2007 Armenia's population was 3.2 million people, including 2.1 million of urban population and 1.1 million of rural population.

Now we know!
