Area Code 2313 – Zvartnots, Armavir

Overview of Armenia's Geographic Code +374 2313

The +374 2313 prefix is a geographic National Destination Code (NDC) assigned to the Zvartnots area, located in the Armavir Province of Armenia. This code is part of the country's public switched telephone network (PSTN) and is used for fixed-line services in the region. Zvartnots is best known for its international airport and the historic Zvartnots Cathedral, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The area falls under the administrative jurisdiction of the Armavir Province, which is one of Armenia's ten provinces.

Coverage and Primary Cities

The 2313 code covers the town of Zvartnots and its immediate surroundings, including nearby villages and settlements within the Armavir Province. The principal city of the province, Armavir, is also served by this code, along with other localities in the vicinity. The region is part of the Ararat Plain, and its economy is largely agricultural, with significant transport infrastructure due to the airport.

Dialing Formats and Instructions

When calling a fixed-line number in Zvartnots from within Armenia, you must dial the trunk prefix '0' followed by the area code and the subscriber number. For example, if the local number is 12345, you would dial 0 231 3 12345 (note that the area code is often segmented as 231 and the first digit of the subscriber number is 3, but the full NDC is 2313). The total number length after the trunk prefix is 8 digits (including the area code).

From abroad, you must dial the international access code (typically '00' or '+'), then the Armenian country code +374, followed by the area code and subscriber number without the leading '0'. For instance, to call the same number from the United States, you would dial 011 374 2313 12345 or +374 2313 12345.

For local callers within the same area code, it may be possible to dial only the subscriber number, but this depends on the operator's configuration. It is always safe to use the full national format.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations

Armenia has not implemented overlay codes for this region; the 2313 code is exclusive to the Zvartnots area. However, as the country transitions to IP-based networks, some fixed-line numbers may be routed over VoIP, but the geographic significance remains for emergency services and number portability. The Public Services Regulatory Commission of Armenia oversees number allocation, ensuring that the code remains associated with the geographic area.

For international callers, it is important to note that Armenian fixed-line numbers are typically 8 digits long (including the area code), and the subscriber number is 5 to 6 digits. Always verify the number length before dialing to avoid errors.
