Noravan (Armenian: Նորավան) is a town in the Armavir Province of Armenia. It is home to the Noravan Agriculture Association.
Infrastructure[edit]
In 2012 the World Bank funded a road improvement in the area.[1] Also in 2012, the Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan visited the area to see irrigation infrastructure works. The Irrigation System Rehabilitation Works are partly funded by the World Bank.[2]
Noravan forest[edit]
There have been accusations that Noravan forest was sold by the regional administration to corrupt officials in a sham auction, without informing the people who formerly rented the land.[3] The buyers then resold the land for a substantial profit.[4]

The local government for the town is the Noravan Municipality, the head of community for the municipality is Arthur Mikayelyan.[5][6] Arthur Mikayelyan was awarded gold medals for agricultural achievements by the minister of agriculture Sergo Karapetyan in 2014.[7]
