Overview of Area Code 2852
Area code 2852 is a geographic destination code within the Armenian national numbering plan, assigned to the city of Kapan and its surrounding areas in the Syunik Province of southern Armenia. This code is part of the country's closed dialing plan, meaning that all national calls, even local ones, require the full national significant number (NSN) to be dialed.
Geographic Coverage and Administrative Jurisdiction
Kapan serves as the administrative center of Syunik Province, a region known for its mining industry and mountainous terrain. The area code 2852 covers the urban and suburban zones of Kapan, including nearby settlements within the Kapan Municipality. The region is bordered by the Vayots Dzor Province to the north and shares a border with Azerbaijan to the east, though the area itself is under Armenian control.
Dialing Formats
For all calls within Armenia, including local calls within Kapan, the subscriber must dial the full national number: 0 2852 XXXXX, where 0 is the national trunk prefix, 2852 is the area code, and XXXXX is the 5-digit local subscriber number. This results in a total NSN length of 8 digits (including the leading 0).
For international calls to Kapan, callers should dial the Armenian country code +374, followed by the area code without the leading 0, and then the subscriber number: +374 2852 XXXXX.

Overlay and Numbering Considerations
