Marz (country subdivision)
Marz (մարզ), plural marzer (մարզեր), is the name for a first-level administrative entity in Armenia. In English, it is usually translated as province or region.
The divisions in the Republic of Artsakh are not called marz. Instead, they are known as shrjan (շրջան).
Etymology
This Armenian word is derived from the Persian word marz (مرز), meaning "border," cognate with English march.
