What exactly is the official special programme/status and why does it exist?

This is a visa exemption (not a residence status): holders of a valid United Nations Laissez-Passer (UNLP) or European Union Laissez-Passer (EULP) do not need an entry visa to Armenia.

See recorded sources

Which specific population, role, circumstance or historical/legal situation does it cover?

It covers holders of a valid United Nations Laissez-Passer or a valid European Union Laissez-Passer, which are travel documents issued to staff of the UN and EU institutions rather than the general public.

See recorded sources

What circumstance, event, relationship, nomination, invitation or status activates access?

The trigger is simply holding a valid UNLP or EULP at entry; no separate application, invitation or nomination is described.

See recorded sources

What sponsor, authority, nomination, certification, evidence or other step must occur before the status can be obtained?

The official source describes no sponsor, nomination, certification or application step before entry; the only condition stated is holding a valid United Nations Laissez-Passer or European Union Laissez-Passer, whose holders are exempt from the requirement to obtain an entry visa to Armenia.

    Holders of a valid United Nations Laissez-Passer (UNLP) or European Union Laissez-Passer (EULP) are exempt from the requirement to obtain an entry visa to the Republic of Armenia.

What immigration status and rights result, how long do they last, can family be included, and what happens if the special qualifying circumstance ends?

The result is visa-free entry and stay: persons holding a valid UNLP or EULP may enter and stay in Armenia without an entry visa for up to 180 days within any one-year period; no residence status results from this exemption alone. The official source does not state family inclusion or what happens if the holder no longer has a valid Laissez-Passer.
