Armenia is subdivided into eleven administrative divisions. Of these, ten are provinces, known as marzer (մարզեր) or in the singular form marz (մարզ) in Armenian.
Yerevan is treated separately and granted special administrative status as the country's capital. The chief executive in each of 10 marzes is the marzpet, appointed by the government of Armenia. In Yerevan, the chief executive is the mayor, elected by the Yerevan City Council.

Municipalities (hamaynkner)
Within each province of the republic, there are municipal communities (hamaynkner, singular hamaynk), currently considered the second-level administrative division in Armenia. Each municipality - known officially as community, either rural or urban- is a self-governing entity and consists of one or more settlements (bnakavayrer, singular bnakavayr). The settlements are classified as either towns (kaghakner, singular kaghak) or villages (gyugher, singular gyugh). As of January 2018, Armenia is divided into 503 communities, of which 46 are urban and 457 are rural. The capital, Yerevan, also holds the status of a community.[4] Additionally, Yerevan is divided into twelve semi-autonomous districts.
Yerevan
The capital of Armenia is Yerevan.[5] The city of Yerevan is the largest administrative-territorial unit of Armenia by population. Local self-government is carried out in the capital Yerevan, whose bodies are the Council of Elders of Yerevan and the mayor.
According to the 1995 Constitution of Armenia, the Mayor of Yerevan was appointed by presidential decree upon the recommendation of the prime minister. However, according to the constitutional amendments of 2005, the specifics of local self-government in the city of Yerevan are defined by the Law “On Local Self-Government in the City of Yerevan.” According to the current Constitution of Armenia (with amendments of 06.12.2015): “Yerevan is a community. The specifics of local self-government in Yerevan are defined by law.”[6]
The Yerevan City Council consists of 65 members and is elected by the residents of Yerevan through a proportional electoral system. The first candidate on the electoral list of the party that receives 40 percent or more of the council seats is considered elected as mayor of Yerevan. If no such party exists, the mayor is elected by the council.
Yerevan is divided into 12 administrative districts.[7] These are Ajapnyak, Avan, Arabkir, Davtashen, Erebuni, Kentron, Malatia-Sebastia, Nor Nork, Nork-Marash, Nubarashen, Shengavit, and Kanaker-Zeytun.
