Map of Kakavadzor, Hrazdan, Armenia
Kakavadzor is served by local public transportation that brings residents to nearby Hrazdan only four times a day since roads are in poor condition. Air pollution from the MIKA Cement factory in Hrazdan has been a continuing problem for residents.
Education and culture
A single school serves Kakavadzor. Teachers are brought in from neighboring villages and Hrazdan since there are not enough qualified teachers found locally to fill the positions.
