'Armenia' is subdivided into eleven administrative divisions. Of these, ten are provinces called marzes, known as ''marzer'' (մարզէր) 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'' (''marz'' governor), appointed by the government of Armenia. In Yerevan, the chief executive is the mayor, appointed by the president.
