What family, citizenship, ethnic, historical or former-resident connection creates access to this route?

This is the Armenian-descent basis for temporary residence status in Armenia: a foreign national who justifies valid reasons for staying in Armenia for a year or more can rely on being of Armenian origin as one of those reasons, and must submit a document confirming Armenian descent among the required documents.

See recorded sources

How far back can the qualifying connection extend, and what important transmission limitations exist?

Neither official page states a generation limit for this route; it only asks for "a document confirming the Armenian descent" without itemising which relatives the connection can run through.

The pathway results in temporary residence status, evidenced by a temporary residence card, issued for up to one year with the possibility of extension.

  • Page intro
    After submitting the application for temporary residence status, the foreign national receives a document certifying their residence – a temporary residence card. It is issued for a period of up to one year, with the possibility of extension.

What application progression, residence obligations, family consequences or further citizenship/residence possibilities follow?

The temporary residence card can be extended, but the official source does not describe what happens after the one-year card expires beyond the "possibility of extension", and does not describe a route to permanent residence or citizenship from this specific basis.
