Municipalities of Armenia

A municipality in Armenia referred to as community (համայնք hamaynk, plural: համայնքներ hamaynkner), is an administrative subdivision consisting of a settlement (բնակավայր bnakavayr) or a group of settlements (բնակավայրեր bnakavayrer) that enjoys local self-government. The settlements are classified as either towns (քաղաքներ kaghakner, singular քաղաք kaghak) or villages (գյուղեր gyugher, singular (գյուղ gyugh).
