Autonomous Armenian District (22nd Century and On)

The Autonomous Armenian District (Arabic: منطقة أرمنية ذاتية الحكم, Armenian: Ինքնավար շրջանը), formerly the District of Ibn Iskandar (Arabic: قضاء ابن إسكندر, Armenian: Իբն Իսկանդարի շրջանը) is one of the Federal Districts of the Republic of Najran. It was found by mostly Lebanese Armenian migrants, shortly after the victory of Iraqi, Syrian and Persian forces over Saudi Arabia.

The population of the AAD is 56,452. Its largest city is Abu-Mirzoyan, where the majority of its population lives and its capital city is Ibn Bagrat.

Hence its name, the overwhelming majority of the district's population is Armenian, mostly from the Armenian diaspora in Lebanon and Syria. Ethnic Armenians form 80.4% while Arabs form the rest. Most of the ethnic Armenians speak the Western dialect of Armenian.

The Armenian Orthodox Church forms the majority of the religious makeup, while Greek Orthodox and Islam forms the rest.

The AAD is the center of Armenian culture and education in the Arabian Confederation, let alone Najran. The National Armenian Museum of Najran (Armenian: Նաջրանի հայկական ազգային թանգարանը, Arabic: المتحف الوطني الأرمني لنجران) is a popular tourist attraction, and one of the Arab Confederation's Nationally Protected Areas of Interest. In addition to having one of the Arab Confederation's largest churches, the Archdiocese of Abu-Mirzoyan (Armenian: Աբու-Միրզոյանի արքեպիսկոպոսը, Arabic: أبرشية أبو ميرزويان), also a Nationally Protected Area of Interest.
