Malatia-Sebastia District

Malatia-Sebastia (Armenian: Մալաթիա-Սեբաստիա վարչական շրջան, Malat’ia-Sebastia varch’akan shrjan), also nicknamed colloquially as Bangladesh,[2] is one of the 12 districts of Yerevan, the capital of Armenia, located in the western part of the city.

[3] The name of the community is derived from two former major historically partly Armenian towns in modern-day Turkey; Malatya and Sivas.

The district is unofficially divided into smaller neighborhoods such as: Nor Malatia, Zoravar Andranik, Shahumyan, Araratyan and Haghtanak.

In 1945, Malatia and Sebastia were connected to central Yerevan with the Victory Bridge and the Admiral Isakov Avenue.

Zvartnots International Airport is in the outskirts of Malatia-Sebastia, to the southwest of the district.
