According to the source, Russian citizens can register as individual entrepreneurs in Armenia without Armenian citizenship or a residence permit. The article states that a passport is sufficient for state registration.
For a Russian citizen, this lowers the formal barrier to starting a business in Armenia: registration as a sole proprietor does not require prior Armenian citizenship or a residence permit.

It is worth noting for anyone planning to operate through an Armenian sole proprietorship and start with a limited set of documents.
