Source-derived summary

Nubarashen (Armenian: Նուբարաշեն վարչական շրջան, romanized: Nubarashen varch’akan shrjan), is one of the 12 districts of Yerevan, the capital of Armenia. It is situated at the southeastern part of the city. It is bordered by Shengavit and Erebuni districts from the north, and Ararat Province from the east, south and west.

Overview

With an area of 18 km² (8.07% of Yerevan city area), Nubarashen is the 5th-largest district of Yerevan in terms of area. It is located around 7 km southeast of central Yerevan, completely isolated from the city.

The Nubarashen Central Park and the nearby Ghevond Alishan №85 School (opened in 1932) are situated at the centre of the district. The Nubarashen Military Base occupies a large portion of the eastern half of the district.

As of 2016, the population of the district is around 9,800.

History

After the Sovietization of Armenia, the Armenian General Benevolent Union (AGBU) became the only diaspora organization that was permitted to operate within the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic. The permission was granted to the AGBU in 1923.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Nubarashen District” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Nubarashen, District and place provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q1822974. Authority coordinates are 40.092, 44.549. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1932, 2016 and 1923.

Critical limits

A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it
