The eleven features represent ten provinces (marzes) and separate Yerevan.
Original shared boundary coordinates, enclave holes and the Artsvashen exclave
are retained. Shape ISO codes are used as answer codes. No current control,
military position, border demarcation or visitor access is implied. Artsvashen
is outside Armenian government control. Nagorno-Karabakh is within
internationally recognised Azerbaijan and is not included as an Armenian province.

The complete Aras source geometry is clipped to a 500-metre buffer around the
administrative reference land, split into in-buffer reaches and simplified at
0.0004 degrees. The buffer accommodates differences between reference datasets.
The Lake Sevan source outline is retained; it is not a present water-level map.

City and town coordinates are curated representative centres. Provincial centres
are checked against the Government of Armenia's regions directory:
https://www.gov.am/en/regions/
Province membership is verified geometrically, with a two-kilometre allowance
for generalised edges. Pins are not municipal boundaries or routing information.
