Identity provenance
Service emblem: Emblem of the Armed Forces of Armenia — carried by Armenian Armed Forces, not issued to this record. The emblem of the Armed Forces of Armenia — a shield bearing the eagle-and-lion arms over crossed elements, with the service's name in Armenian. A SERVICE-EMBLEM, NOT A FLAG, and the kind field says so: no flag file of the Armed Forces was located, and an emblem is what the institution publishes. This candidate was CLEARED ON LICENCE in the earlier manifest and not fetched; it is now fetched, checked and shipped. Public domain on Commons, no attribution obligation. LEGIBILITY, STATED: a badge on a transparent ground has no field colour, so at 18x12px it reads as a pale form rather than as itself. It carries real identity at 38x26 and 40x40, which is where the Atlas shows a mark on a card and a masthead, and that is the basis on which it was kept.

Inherited by the five army corps, the ground forces, the air force and air defence, and the peacekeeping brigade; the Border Guard is a separate root under a different ministry and correctly inherits nothing.

In brief
The south-eastern corps, seated at Yeghegnadzor in Vayots Dzor — the sector facing the Nakhchivan exclave's northern frontier and the mountain passes between the capital's hinterland and Syunik.

- Vayots Dzor province from Yeghegnadzor, facing the Nakhchivan frontier
- Notable history
- The 4th Corps holds the sector between the 5th Corps' capital region and the 1st Corps' Syunik: the province of Vayots Dzor, whose southern frontier is Nakhchivan's northern one and whose passes carry the road from Yerevan to Goris and Iran. Compiled references describe it as four motor-rifle regiments with artillery and signals battalions — a composition the transformation concept is replacing and not adopted here. Its frontier is the one Turkish forces exercise beside, in Nakhchivan, under the Azerbaijani–Turkish alliance.
- Strengths
- Mountain terrain and interior lines to both the capital and the south.
- Limitations
- A sector on which the exclave's garrison and its Turkish partner both bear, and through whose passes the only road to Syunik runs. No strength, holdings, positions or readiness are published.
