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, which is, in turn, derived from the Persian word marz, meaning "border". 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.
