With a population of about 40,000, the city's layout stretches along the river valley and retains the architectural style of the Soviet period, while new residential areas are gradually modernized. Transportation-wise, it is connected by road to Yerevan and neighboring Georgia, and is an important hub for exploring the natural beauty of northern Armenia.
