Erebuni ((アルメニア語:Էրեբունի)), is one of the 12 districts of Yerevan, the capital of Armenia. It is situated southeast of the city centre where Erebuni Fortress is located. The name of Yerevan itself is derived from Erebuni. At the census in 2001, it had a population of over 126,200. It is bordered by Shengavit District from the west, Kentron, Nork-Marash and Nor Nork districts from the north, Kotayk Province from the east, Nubarashen district and Kotayk Province from the south.〔(Erebuni at Yerevan.am )〕 Its main thoroughfare is Erebuni street. The district is unofficially divided into smaller neighborhoods such as Erebuni block, Nor Aresh, Saritagh, Vardashen, Mushavan, Verin Jrashen, Kayaran and Nor Butaniya. The district has an area of 48.41 km², out of which 29.09 km² are occupied by buildings. It is served by the Sasuntsi Davit metro station. ==History== The first settlers (around 60 families) of the area were survivors of the Armenian Genocide who escaped from the district of Butaniya in Western Armenia. In 1925, they founded the neighborhood of Nor Butaniya. The neighbourhood of Nor Aresh was named after an ancient Armenian district known as "Aresh". The first inhabitants of Nor Aresh arrived from Nukhi, Azerbaijan. On 20 July 1939, based on a decision passed by the Communist Party of Armenia, a new district was formed in Yerevan city named the "Moldavian Regional Soviet". On 25 September 1957, the district was renamed after Lenin. On 13 November 1961, the name of the district was changed to Ordzhonikidze. As a result of the Armenian repatriation process, Nor Aresh and Vardashen neighbourhoods were resettled by Armenian migrants from Syria, Lebanon, Greece, France, Bulgaria and Egypt, during the 1950s and 1960s. Mushavan, originally a village on the eastern outskirts of Yerevan, was eventually absorbed by the city in 1965 to become part of the district. However, the name of Erebuni was given to the district only on 8 August 1991 by the decision of the National Assembly of Armenia. In 1996, Yerevan was divided into 12 local communities. Erebuni holds the status of a district (Armenian: համայնք ''hamaynk'') since 1997. The district is home to a number of industrial plants, including the Armenian Molybdenum Production plant, the Armenian Travertine Mining Company (ATMC) and the Clear Metal Factory. The Yerevan Railway Station, the Central Jail of Yerevan and the Yerevan Hunting Club are also located in the Erebuni district. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Erebuni District」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
