Confirmed legal status

2C-B

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Բրոլամֆետամին, 4-բրոմո-2,5-դիմեթօքսիֆենետիլամին (2C-B)», and record ARM-04 matches it to 2C-B on Chemical Abstracts number 66142-81-2. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «2C-B» and «4-bromo-2,5-dimetoksifenetilamin», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The line names three things at once, the international non proprietary name brolamfetamine, the full chemical name, and the code in brackets, so a search on any one of the three reaches the same row.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for 2C-B is «4-բրոմո-2.5-դեմիթօքսիֆենէթիլամին (2C-B)». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences. That 12 year ceiling is the lowest of any country authored in this session, and it is the figure the article itself prints rather than a reading of a range. The quantity instrument prints this row as «0.001 to 0.005 g»; «>0.005 to 0.025 g»; «>0.025 to 0.125 g; especially large >0.125 g». A printed annex figure in Armenia is a small amount, not a threshold for the offence. The statutory multipliers at article 393(4) to (6) turn it into the significant, large and especially large bands.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for 2C-B is the printed annex line «Բրոլամֆետամին, 4-բրոմո-2,5-դիմեթօքսիֆենետիլամին (2C-B)», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-04. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry has to be put under all three namings the line carries, because a Ministry clerk searching only the code will not reach a row filed under the international non proprietary name.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing 2C-B, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the printed annex line «Բրոլամֆետամին, 4-բրոմո-2,5-դիմեթօքսիֆենետիլամին (2C-B)», record ARM-04, Chemical Abstracts number 66142-81-2. It was read on 20 September 2026 against the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The paperwork should spell the substance out in full rather than by code, because the annex files it under a name a code search does not reach.

Adderall

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «AMPHETAMINE», and record ARM-14 matches it to Adderall on Chemical Abstracts number 300-62-9. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «Adderall», «amfetamin» and «deksamfetamin», all of them Latin script, and this is one of only two accepted entries in the whole dossier that the annex prints in Latin letters alone, so a Latin search could reach this line where for 39 other accepted entries it could not. Adderall is a brand and not a molecule, so the dossier tested it through amphetamine and accepted the amphetamine line. That creates a tension this cell names and does not settle. The line quoted here is «AMPHETAMINE» in Latin capitals, while the amphetamine row of the same dossier quotes «Ամֆետամին» in Armenian script, and the two carry the identical Chemical Abstracts number 300-62-9. One list does not print one substance twice in two scripts as two separate quotations, so at least one of the two quotations is not a verbatim reading of the annex. The dossier does not say which, and nothing here decides it.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has abolished the death penalty and Article 393 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia provides no life sentence for a drug offence, so the real exposure is a term of years. The ceiling is 12 years' imprisonment under Article 393(3), and Article 393(4) to (6) measures the significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, so the band rather than the raw weight is what the article prices. The placement is the printed annex line «AMPHETAMINE», record ARM-14. Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance beneath that placement. This pass carries no printed small amount figure for it, so the number those bands multiply is not stated here and no band can be computed from this cell. The exposure follows the amphetamine entry and not the brand, and a mixed amphetamine salts product is reached through its active constituent.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for Adderall is the printed annex line «AMPHETAMINE», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-14. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry must name the active and not the brand, because the annex has no brand line and a question about a trade name can be answered truthfully with a no that means nothing.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing Adderall, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the printed annex line «AMPHETAMINE», record ARM-14, Chemical Abstracts number 300-62-9. It was read on 20 September 2026 against the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The paperwork must name the active ingredient, because a letter naming only the brand describes nothing the annex contains.

Alcohol

Legal status: Governed in Armenia through alcohol, food and excise legislation rather than through the narcotics annex, and the cell is a finding about which body of law applies rather than a settled finding that the annex is silent. Record ARM-15 names that regime and describes the control as ethyl alcohol product controls, which is the positive half and it stands. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, was also searched for this row and returned no accepted entry, and that is the negative half, which does not stand on its own. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The limit of this record has to be on the face of it. The terms this row was searched under were «alcohol», all of them Latin script. Not one of the 186 search terms logged across the eighty eight rows of this dossier carries a single Armenian letter, while 39 of the 41 entries the same dossier accepts elsewhere are printed in Armenian script. A Latin search of an Armenian list returns nothing whether or not the substance is on it. So this record states what the logged search could reach, and it does not establish that the annex is silent about anything searched for that way. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. Two boundaries follow and both belong on the face of the cell. The regime is identified and the provision inside it is not, because the dossier names the legislation and no article, section or schedule within it. And the absence from the annex is not established, so nothing here says the substance could not turn out to be listed once the annex is searched in its own script. The instrument named is the alcohol, food and excise legislation, and the dossier does not name a provision within it, so the regime is identified and the placement inside that regime is not.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has abolished the death penalty and Article 393 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia provides no life sentence for a drug offence, so the real exposure is a term of years. The 12 year ceiling under Article 393(3) would not be engaged if that absence holds, because the logged search returned no annex entry for alcohol and record ARM-15 names alcohol, food and excise legislation as the governing regime instead. Whatever control exists sits in that regime and carries that regime's own penalties, which this pass did not read. Nothing in the narcotics ceiling reaches ethyl alcohol, and the separate regime carries its own age, sale and excise rules which this pass did not read.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for alcohol is no accepted narcotics annex entry on the logged search, with the substance governed instead through alcohol, food and excise legislation, and no provision within that regime named. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry belongs to customs and excise rather than to the medicines route, because the regime named for this row is an excise and food one.
Documentation: Carry the ordinary paperwork for the product rather than a narcotics permit, which means the prescription and the dispensing packaging if alcohol reaches you as a medicine and the retail packaging otherwise, and confirm the position with the Armenian Ministry of Health before travelling. The placement carried against is the separate regime at alcohol, food and excise legislation, record ARM-15, with no accepted annex line on the logged search. It was read on 20 September 2026 against the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The paperwork is a customs declaration rather than a medical one, because the regime recorded for this row is an excise regime.

Amphetamine

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Ամֆետամին», and record ARM-18 matches it to amphetamine on Chemical Abstracts number 300-62-9. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «amphetamine», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. This row quotes «Ամֆետամին» in Armenian script, while the brand row of the same dossier quotes «AMPHETAMINE» in Latin capitals at the identical Chemical Abstracts number 300-62-9. One list does not print one substance twice in two scripts as two separate quotations, so at least one of the two is not a verbatim reading of the annex. The tension is named in both cells and settled in neither. The control itself is not in doubt, because whichever quotation is verbatim, the annex carries this substance.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for amphetamine is «Ամֆետամին (ֆենամին)». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences. That 12 year ceiling is the lowest of any country authored in this session, and it is the figure the article itself prints rather than a reading of a range. The quantity instrument prints this row as «0.01 to 0.05 g»; «>0.05 to 0.25 g»; «>0.25 to 1.25 g; especially large >1.25 g». A printed annex figure in Armenia is a small amount, not a threshold for the offence. The statutory multipliers at article 393(4) to (6) turn it into the significant, large and especially large bands.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for amphetamine is the printed annex line «Ամֆետամին», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-18. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry must be put in the Armenian form as well as the English one, because the dossier quotes this substance in two scripts at one registry number and does not say which quotation is the annex's own.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing amphetamine, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the printed annex line «Ամֆետամին», record ARM-18, Chemical Abstracts number 300-62-9. It was read on 20 September 2026 against the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The paperwork is best carried with the substance written in both scripts, because the dossier quotes it in two and the tension between them is not resolved here.

Benzodiazepines

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia member by member, and Armenia's own annex names the members, so this is a finding rather than a deferral. The member by member check was run against the Armenian schedule and not merely against the substances this table happens to carry, and every one of the six benzodiazepine members the table does carry is printed individually at the annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, controlled lists 1 to 4: diazepam, alprazolam, clonazepam, lorazepam, etizolam and nimetazepam. Each was matched on its own printed line and its own Chemical Abstracts number, 439-14-5, 28981-97-7, 1622-61-3, 846-49-1, 40054-69-1, 2011-67-8 respectively, and each is held separately as ARM-34, ARM-16, ARM-29, ARM-50, ARM-39, ARM-69. That distinction decides the cell. No class row headed benzodiazepines was found in the annex, but a list that names individuals is not silent merely because it declines to name the family. The dossier's own row for this slug deferred, on the ground that the class word was not printed and that the alprazolam line does not itself name the class, and that reasoning answers a question about the word rather than about the substances. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The limit of the finding has to be stated: it covers the six members before us and says nothing about a benzodiazepine outside this table, because no class clause was found that would carry one. The terms this class row was searched under were «benzodiazepini», «alprazolam» and «diazepam», all of them Latin script, and the six member lines are printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how any of them was reached. That does not weaken the finding, which rests on six printed entries and six registry numbers rather than on the search record.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has abolished the death penalty and Article 393 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia provides no life sentence for a drug offence, so the real exposure is a term of years. The ceiling is 12 years' imprisonment under Article 393(3), and Article 393(4) to (6) measures the significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, so the band rather than the raw weight is what the article prices. The placement is six individually printed annex lines rather than one class line. Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance beneath that placement. This pass carries no printed small amount figure for it, so the number those bands multiply is not stated here and no band can be computed from this cell.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for the benzodiazepines is six individually printed annex entries, one for each class member this table carries, and no class line above them. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry must name the member in hand rather than the class, because the annex answers six members individually and has no class line to answer for a seventh.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing the benzodiazepines, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the six printed annex lines for diazepam, alprazolam, clonazepam, lorazepam, etizolam and nimetazepam, at controlled lists 1 to 4 of Decision N 1129-Ն. It was read on 20 September 2026 against the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The paperwork should name the member carried, because the annex has six member lines and no class line for paperwork to be matched against.

Buprenorphine

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Բուպրենորֆին», and record ARM-23 matches it to buprenorphine on Chemical Abstracts number 52485-79-7. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «buprenorphine», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. The annex carries the substance under its own name in Armenian script, with no preparation limb and no strength cut off printed on the line the dossier accepted.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for buprenorphine is «Բուպրենորֆին». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences. That 12 year ceiling is the lowest of any country authored in this session, and it is the figure the article itself prints rather than a reading of a range. The quantity instrument prints this row as «0.0002 to 0.001 g»; «>0.001 to 0.005 g»; «>0.005 to 0.025 g; especially large >0.025 g». A printed annex figure in Armenia is a small amount, not a threshold for the offence. The statutory multipliers at article 393(4) to (6) turn it into the significant, large and especially large bands.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for buprenorphine is the printed annex line «Բուպրենորֆին», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-23. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry should ask whether a substitution programme supply is treated differently, because the line the dossier accepted carries no preparation limb that would say so.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing buprenorphine, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the printed annex line «Բուպրենորֆին», record ARM-23, Chemical Abstracts number 52485-79-7. It was read on 20 September 2026 against the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The paperwork should show the prescribing programme if there is one, because nothing on the annex line marks that supply out and the difference can only come from elsewhere.

Caffeine

Legal status: Governed in Armenia through food safety and labelling legislation rather than through the narcotics annex, and the cell is a finding about which body of law applies rather than a settled finding that the annex is silent. Record ARM-24 names that regime and describes the control as caffeine food-ingredient controls, which is the positive half and it stands. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, was also searched for this row and returned no accepted entry, and that is the negative half, which does not stand on its own. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The limit of this record has to be on the face of it. The terms this row was searched under were «caffeine», all of them Latin script. Not one of the 186 search terms logged across the eighty eight rows of this dossier carries a single Armenian letter, while 39 of the 41 entries the same dossier accepts elsewhere are printed in Armenian script. A Latin search of an Armenian list returns nothing whether or not the substance is on it. So this record states what the logged search could reach, and it does not establish that the annex is silent about anything searched for that way. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. Two boundaries follow and both belong on the face of the cell. The regime is identified and the provision inside it is not, because the dossier names the legislation and no article, section or schedule within it. And the absence from the annex is not established, so nothing here says the substance could not turn out to be listed once the annex is searched in its own script. The instrument named is the food safety and labelling legislation, and the dossier does not name a provision within it, so what is established is the regime and not the rule.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has abolished the death penalty and Article 393 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia provides no life sentence for a drug offence, so the real exposure is a term of years. The 12 year ceiling under Article 393(3) would not be engaged if that absence holds, because the logged search returned no annex entry for caffeine and record ARM-24 names food safety and labelling legislation as the governing regime instead. Whatever control exists sits in that regime and carries that regime's own penalties, which this pass did not read. A food ingredient control is not a criminal narcotics control, and no part of Article 393 is engaged by it.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for caffeine is no accepted narcotics annex entry on the logged search, with the substance governed instead through food safety and labelling legislation, and no provision within that regime named. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry belongs to food labelling rather than to a prescription route, because the regime named for this row is a food safety one and no medicines placement was recorded.
Documentation: Carry the ordinary paperwork for the product rather than a narcotics permit, which means the prescription and the dispensing packaging if caffeine reaches you as a medicine and the retail packaging otherwise, and confirm the position with the Armenian Ministry of Health before travelling. The placement carried against is the separate regime at food safety and labelling legislation, record ARM-24, with no accepted annex line on the logged search. It was read on 20 September 2026 against the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The paperwork is product labelling rather than a prescription, because the regime recorded here is food safety.

Cannabis / THC

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia, and the printed lines are not the line the applied cell quoted. The հավելված to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003 prints, in Ցուցակ N 1, the list of substances whose circulation is prohibited, two consecutive definitional lines standing between Կատա էդուլիս above and Կաթին below. The first begins «Կանեփ` բոլոր տեսակների, բացառությամբ Ցուցակ N 2-ում նշված կանեփի տեսակների», meaning hemp of all varieties except the varieties named in Ցուցակ N 2, and goes on to say that a variety named in Ցուցակ N 2 is also prohibited if it was produced without a licence or in breach of licence conditions. The second begins «Կաննաբիս` կանեփի տարբեր տեսակներից ստացվող պատրաստուկները» and covers preparations obtained from the hemp varieties whose tetrahydrocannabinol concentration exceeds what is permitted for the Ցուցակ N 2 varieties, expressly including marijuana and hashish oil as named sub limbs. The applied cell quoted a line «Կանեփ, Cannabis բույս» at a Chemical Abstracts number. That string is not printed in the annex, and the annex prints no Chemical Abstracts numbers. Two further statements in the applied cell fall with it. There is a potency limb: Ցուցակ N 2 carries «արտադրական կանեփ», industrial hemp, licensed, in which cannabidiol content exceeds tetrahydrocannabinol content and the tetrahydrocannabinol content of the sampled mass is equal to or below 0,3 percent. And these are not simple plant entries, because the exception in the first line and the concentration test in the second are what decide which list a given plant falls in. Read on 21 September 2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for cannabis is «Մարիխուանա». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences. That 12 year ceiling is the lowest of any country authored in this session, and it is the figure the article itself prints rather than a reading of a range. The quantity instrument prints this row as «0.5 to 2.5 g»; «>2.5 to 12.5 g»; «>12.5 to 62.5 g; especially large >62.5 g». A printed annex figure in Armenia is a small amount, not a threshold for the offence. The statutory multipliers at article 393(4) to (6) turn it into the significant, large and especially large bands.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. The placement this attaches to is the pair of opening lines of Ցուցակ N 1, «Կանեփ` բոլոր տեսակների» and «Կաննաբիս`», read against the industrial hemp line «արտադրական կանեփ» in Ցուցակ N 2. The applied cell said the enquiry must ask about plant material rather than about cannabinoid content because no potency limb is printed. That is the opposite of what the annex does. Potency is exactly what selects the list, so the enquiry has to state the tetrahydrocannabinol content, the cannabidiol content and whether the material came from a licensed producer. The dossier states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing cannabis, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The paperwork must be about potency, contrary to the applied cell. The Ցուցակ N 2 route turns on a tetrahydrocannabinol content at or below 0,3 percent of the sampled mass with cannabidiol content above it, and on the material having been produced under licence, so a certificate of analysis and the producer's licence are the documents that matter. Do not quote a Chemical Abstracts number, because the annex prints none. Read on 21 September 2026.

Cathinone

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Կատինոն», and record ARM-27 matches it to cathinone on Chemical Abstracts number 71031-15-7. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «cathinone», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. This is the line the khat row of the same dossier inspected and rejected, on the ground that a plant is not its alkaloid. Two synthetic cathinone rows in this set, mephedrone and 3-methylmethcathinone, were compared instead against the cocaine line, which is a different chemical family, and the dossier does not explain the difference in treatment.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for cathinone is «Կատինոն». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences. That 12 year ceiling is the lowest of any country authored in this session, and it is the figure the article itself prints rather than a reading of a range. The quantity instrument prints this row as «0.01 to 0.05 g»; «>0.05 to 0.25 g»; «>0.25 to 1.25 g; especially large >1.25 g». A printed annex figure in Armenia is a small amount, not a threshold for the offence. The statutory multipliers at article 393(4) to (6) turn it into the significant, large and especially large bands.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for cathinone is the printed annex line «Կատինոն», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-27. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry should ask whether the parent line is read as reaching substituted derivatives, since two rows of this same table turn on that and neither is answered.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing cathinone, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the printed annex line «Կատինոն», record ARM-27, Chemical Abstracts number 71031-15-7. It was read on 20 September 2026 against the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The paperwork should describe the exact compound in hand, because the annex line is the parent and two rows of this table turn on how far it reaches.

Clonazepam

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Կլոնազեպամ», and record ARM-29 matches it to clonazepam on Chemical Abstracts number 1622-61-3. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «clonazepam», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. This is one of the six benzodiazepine members printed individually in the annex, and its presence is part of what resolves the class row for Armenia.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for clonazepam is «Կլոնազեպամ». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences. That 12 year ceiling is the lowest of any country authored in this session, and it is the figure the article itself prints rather than a reading of a range. The quantity instrument prints this row as «0.0005 to 0.0025 g»; «>0.0025 to 0.0125 g»; «>0.0125 to 0.0625 g; especially large >0.0625 g».

If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for clonazepam is the printed annex line «Կլոնազեպամ», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-29. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry should be put for this member by name, because an anticonvulsant indication does not appear on the annex line and will not be found by asking about one.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing clonazepam, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the printed annex line «Կլոնազեպամ», record ARM-29, Chemical Abstracts number 1622-61-3.

Cocaine

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Կոկաին», and record ARM-30 matches it to cocaine on Chemical Abstracts number 50-36-2. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «cocaine», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. This is the most consequential line in the Armenian annex for this dossier, and not for a reason that reflects on the substance. 20 of the dossier's 32 absence rows record this line as the near entry they inspected and rejected, among them a mint, a tree leaf, two cannabinoids, three tryptamines, three substituted cathinones and a gamma aminobutyric acid analogue, none of which bears any relation to a coca alkaloid. That is a filing artefact of the record rather than twenty comparisons anybody drew, and it means those rows tested nothing. The entry itself is sound and is not affected by how it was reused elsewhere.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for cocaine is «Կոկաին». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences. That 12 year ceiling is the lowest of any country authored in this session, and it is the figure the article itself prints rather than a reading of a range. The quantity instrument prints this row as «0.001 to 0.005 g»; «>0.005 to 0.025 g»; «>0.025 to 0.125 g; especially large >0.125 g». A printed annex figure in Armenia is a small amount, not a threshold for the offence. The statutory multipliers at article 393(4) to (6) turn it into the significant, large and especially large bands.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for cocaine is the printed annex line «Կոկաին», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-30. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry is narrow here and the answer is not in doubt, so the question worth putting is about the medical and dental exemptions that any listed anaesthetic may carry, which this pass did not read.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing cocaine, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the printed annex line «Կոկաին», record ARM-30, Chemical Abstracts number 50-36-2.

The paperwork question hardly arises for a street form, and for a clinical one it is the authorisation rather than the prescription that would have to be shown.

Codeine

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Կոդեին», and record ARM-31 matches it to codeine on Chemical Abstracts number 76-57-3. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «codeine», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. The annex prints the opiate under its own Armenian name, and the dossier accepted that line rather than any preparation or compound analgesic limb.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for codeine is «Կոդեին». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences. That 12 year ceiling is the lowest of any country authored in this session, and it is the figure the article itself prints rather than a reading of a range. The quantity instrument prints this row as «0.01 to 0.05 g»; «>0.05 to 0.25 g»; «>0.25 to 1.25 g; especially large >1.25 g». A printed annex figure in Armenia is a small amount, not a threshold for the offence. The statutory multipliers at article 393(4) to (6) turn it into the significant, large and especially large bands.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for codeine is the printed annex line «Կոդեին», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-31. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry must cover compound analgesics, because a traveller carrying a combination tablet is carrying the substance the line names and the line does not separate the two.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing codeine, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the printed annex line «Կոդեին», record ARM-31, Chemical Abstracts number 76-57-3. It was read on 20 September 2026 against the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The paperwork should list the full formulation of a compound analgesic, because the annex names the opiate and a package may name only the painkiller it is combined with.

Crack Cocaine

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Կոկաին», and record ARM-32 matches it to crack cocaine on Chemical Abstracts number 50-36-2. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «crack» and «kokain baza», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. There is no separate crack line in the Armenian annex. The dossier searched the street term and the base form and resolved the row on the cocaine line, the same printed entry and the same Chemical Abstracts number as the cocaine row of this set, so the two rows are one entry read twice.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has abolished the death penalty and Article 393 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia provides no life sentence for a drug offence, so the real exposure is a term of years. The ceiling is 12 years' imprisonment under Article 393(3), and Article 393(4) to (6) measures the significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, so the band rather than the raw weight is what the article prices. The placement is the printed annex line «Կոկաին», record ARM-32. Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance beneath that placement. This pass carries no printed small amount figure for it, so the number those bands multiply is not stated here and no band can be computed from this cell. A form of a listed substance is not a second offence, and nothing on the accepted line prices the base form differently from the salt.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota.

That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for crack cocaine is the printed annex line «Կոկաին», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-32. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. There is nothing to ask that the cocaine row does not already ask, because the annex line and the registry number are the same and the form is not separately printed.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing crack cocaine, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border.

Delta-8-THC

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Տետրահիդրոկանաբինոլի բոլոր իզոմերները», and record ARM-33 matches it to delta 8 tetrahydrocannabinol on Chemical Abstracts number 5957-75-5. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «delta-8-THC» and «tetrahidrokanabinol», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The accepted line is a class clause rather than a single molecule, reaching all isomers of tetrahydrocannabinol, and that is what carries the delta eight isomer without it being named. Two other rows of this set, tetrahydrocannabiphorol and hexahydrocannabinol, were deferred against the cocaine line instead of against this clause, and an all isomers clause does not obviously reach a homologue with a different side chain or a hydrogenated analogue. The dossier does not settle that.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has abolished the death penalty and Article 393 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia provides no life sentence for a drug offence, so the real exposure is a term of years. The ceiling is 12 years' imprisonment under Article 393(3), and Article 393(4) to (6) measures the significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, so the band rather than the raw weight is what the article prices. The placement is the printed annex line «Տետրահիդրոկանաբինոլի բոլոր իզոմերները», record ARM-33. Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance beneath that placement. This pass carries no printed small amount figure for it, so the number those bands multiply is not stated here and no band can be computed from this cell. The exposure rests on an isomer clause, so a product sold as a legal isomer is inside the entry if it is an isomer of the named parent.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for delta 8 tetrahydrocannabinol is the printed annex line «Տետրահիդրոկանաբինոլի բոլոր իզոմերները», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-33. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry must ask how far the isomer clause is read, because the clause and not a named entry is what carries this substance and its reach decides two other rows of this same table.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing delta 8 tetrahydrocannabinol, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the printed annex line «Տետրահիդրոկանաբինոլի բոլոր իզոմերները», record ARM-33, Chemical Abstracts number 5957-75-5. It was read on 20 September 2026 against the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026.

Diazepam

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Դիազեպամ», and record ARM-34 matches it to diazepam on Chemical Abstracts number 439-14-5. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «diazepam», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. This is one of the six benzodiazepine members printed individually, and it is one of the two members the deferred class row named in its own search set before setting the class aside.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for diazepam is «Դիազեպամ». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences. That 12 year ceiling is the lowest of any country authored in this session, and it is the figure the article itself prints rather than a reading of a range. The quantity instrument prints this row as «0.005 to 0.025 g»; «>0.025 to 0.125 g»; «>0.125 to 0.625 g; especially large >0.625 g». A printed annex figure in Armenia is a small amount, not a threshold for the offence.

The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry should name the member rather than the class, because the class word is not in the annex and the member is.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing diazepam, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the printed annex line «Դիազեպամ», record ARM-34, Chemical Abstracts number 439-14-5.

DMT

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «ԴՄՏ, N,N դիմեթիլտրիպտամին», and record ARM-35 matches it to dimethyltryptamine on Chemical Abstracts number 61-50-7. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «DMT» and «dimetiltriptamin», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The line carries the Armenian abbreviation and then the chemical name, so both an abbreviation search and a chemical name search reach it. The ayahuasca row of this set inspected this same line and was set aside against it, because a brew is not proved to be its constituent without proof of composition.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for DMT is «N.N-դիմեթիլտրիպտամին (ԴՄՏ)». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences. That 12 year ceiling is the lowest of any country authored in this session, and it is the figure the article itself prints rather than a reading of a range.

If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for dimethyltryptamine is the printed annex line «ԴՄՏ, N,N դիմեթիլտրիպտամին», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-35. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry should ask whether a plant preparation containing the molecule is treated as the molecule, since the annex prints the molecule and the ayahuasca row of this table is open on exactly that point.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing dimethyltryptamine, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the printed annex line «ԴՄՏ, N,N դիմեթիլտրիպտամին», record ARM-35, Chemical Abstracts number 61-50-7.

DOM

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «ԴՕՄ», and record ARM-36 matches it to DOM on Chemical Abstracts number 15588-95-1. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «DOM», «STP» and «dimetoksimetilamfetamin», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The annex prints only a three letter abbreviation in Armenian script, with no chemical name and no synonym on the line, so the Chemical Abstracts number in the record is what fixes which molecule the abbreviation denotes.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has abolished the death penalty and Article 393 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia provides no life sentence for a drug offence, so the real exposure is a term of years. The ceiling is 12 years' imprisonment under Article 393(3), and Article 393(4) to (6) measures the significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, so the band rather than the raw weight is what the article prices. The placement is the printed annex line «ԴՕՄ», record ARM-36. Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance beneath that placement. This pass carries no printed small amount figure for it, so the number those bands multiply is not stated here and no band can be computed from this cell. An abbreviation only entry is the thinnest kind of printed line, and the identification rests on the number rather than on the words.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for DOM is the printed annex line «ԴՕՄ», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-36. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry must quote the registry number, because the annex line is an abbreviation alone and an abbreviation can be read onto more than one molecule.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing DOM, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the printed annex line «ԴՕՄ», record ARM-36, Chemical Abstracts number 15588-95-1. It was read on 20 September 2026 against the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The paperwork should quote the registry number, because the annex line is an abbreviation and an abbreviation alone will not identify the molecule to an officer.

DXM

Legal status: Governed in Armenia through «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք rather than through the narcotics annex, and the cell is a finding about which body of law applies rather than a settled finding that the annex is silent. Record ARM-37 names that regime and describes the control as dxm medicinal-product controls, which is the positive half and it stands. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, was also searched for this row and returned no accepted entry, and that is the negative half, which does not stand on its own. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The limit of this record has to be on the face of it. The terms this row was searched under were «DXM» and «dekstrometorfan», all of them Latin script. One of them is a South Slavic transliteration of the substance name, a scheme used for no Armenian purpose at all. Not one of the 186 search terms logged across the eighty eight rows of this dossier carries a single Armenian letter, while 39 of the 41 entries the same dossier accepts elsewhere are printed in Armenian script. A Latin search of an Armenian list returns nothing whether or not the substance is on it. So this record states what the logged search could reach, and it does not establish that the annex is silent about anything searched for that way. Two boundaries follow and both belong on the face of the cell. The regime is identified and the provision inside it is not, because the dossier names the legislation and no article, section or schedule within it. And the absence from the annex is not established, so nothing here says the substance could not turn out to be listed once the annex is searched in its own script. The instrument named is the law on medicines, shared with five other rows of this set, and the dossier names no provision within it. The search recorded was the code and a transliteration of the chemical name, both in Latin script.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has abolished the death penalty and Article 393 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia provides no life sentence for a drug offence, so the real exposure is a term of years. The 12 year ceiling under Article 393(3) would not be engaged if that absence holds, because the logged search returned no annex entry for dextromethorphan and record ARM-37 names «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք as the governing regime instead. Whatever control exists sits in that regime and carries that regime's own penalties, which this pass did not read. A cough preparation sold over a counter and a narcotics annex entry are different regimes, and only the second engages the criminal ceiling.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for dextromethorphan is no accepted narcotics annex entry on the logged search, with the substance governed instead through «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, and no provision within that regime named. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry must ask whether the preparation is a pharmacy only or a general sale product in Armenia, because the regime is named and the provision within it is not.
Documentation: Carry the ordinary paperwork for the product rather than a narcotics permit, which means the prescription and the dispensing packaging if dextromethorphan reaches you as a medicine and the retail packaging otherwise, and confirm the position with the Armenian Ministry of Health before travelling. The placement carried against is the separate regime at «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, record ARM-37, with no accepted annex line on the logged search. It was read on 20 September 2026 against the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The paperwork should be the retail packaging with the ingredient list visible, because the regime is named and the rule within it is not.

Ephedrine

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Էֆեդրին», and record ARM-38 matches it to ephedrine on Chemical Abstracts number 299-42-3. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «ephedrine», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. The annex prints the substance under its own Armenian name. The dossier treats it as a listed substance in its own right rather than as a precursor, although the empowering provision of N 1129-Ն approves a single list covering narcotic drugs, psychotropic substances and their precursors together.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has abolished the death penalty and Article 393 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia provides no life sentence for a drug offence, so the real exposure is a term of years. The ceiling is 12 years' imprisonment under Article 393(3), and Article 393(4) to (6) measures the significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, so the band rather than the raw weight is what the article prices. The placement is the printed annex line «Էֆեդրին», record ARM-38. Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance beneath that placement. This pass carries no printed small amount figure for it, so the number those bands multiply is not stated here and no band can be computed from this cell. Which of the three limbs of that combined list the line sits under is not printed in the record, and the dossier does not say.

The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry should ask which limb of the combined list the entry sits under, narcotic, psychotropic or precursor, because the record does not say and a precursor placement carries different handling rules.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing ephedrine, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border.

Etizolam

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Էտիզոլամ», and record ARM-39 matches it to etizolam on Chemical Abstracts number 40054-69-1. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «etizolam», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. This is one of the six benzodiazepine members printed individually, and it is a thienodiazepine rather than a true benzodiazepine, which is precisely why an express line matters more here than a class reading would.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for etizolam is «Էտիզոլամ». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences. That 12 year ceiling is the lowest of any country authored in this session, and it is the figure the article itself prints rather than a reading of a range. The quantity instrument prints this row as «0.0005 to 0.0025 g»; «>0.0025 to 0.0125 g»; «>0.0125 to 0.0625 g; especially large >0.0625 g». A printed annex figure in Armenia is a small amount, not a threshold for the offence. The statutory multipliers at article 393(4) to (6) turn it into the significant, large and especially large bands.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for etizolam is the printed annex line «Էտիզոլամ», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-39. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry should name this substance specifically, because it is not chemically a benzodiazepine and an enquiry framed around the class may be answered about a different group.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing etizolam, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the printed annex line «Էտիզոլամ», record ARM-39, Chemical Abstracts number 40054-69-1.

Fentanyl

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Ֆենտանիլ», and record ARM-40 matches it to fentanyl on Chemical Abstracts number 437-38-7. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «fentanyl», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. The annex prints the parent under its own Armenian name. No analogue limb is printed on the line the dossier accepted, so the entry as read reaches the parent and not the fentanyl analogues as a family.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has abolished the death penalty and Article 393 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia provides no life sentence for a drug offence, so the real exposure is a term of years. The ceiling is 12 years' imprisonment under Article 393(3), and Article 393(4) to (6) measures the significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, so the band rather than the raw weight is what the article prices. The placement is the printed annex line «Ֆենտանիլ», record ARM-40. Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance beneath that placement. This pass carries no printed small amount figure for it, so the number those bands multiply is not stated here and no band can be computed from this cell. An analogue sold as fentanyl is not shown by this record to fall inside the printed line.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries.

The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry should ask whether the analogues are reached, because the annex line as read is the parent alone and a patch or a lozenge may contain a relative rather than the parent.

Gabapentin

Legal status: Governed in Armenia through «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք rather than through the narcotics annex, and the cell is a finding about which body of law applies rather than a settled finding that the annex is silent. Record ARM-41 names that regime and describes the control as gabapentin medicinal-product controls, which is the positive half and it stands. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, was also searched for this row and returned no accepted entry, and that is the negative half, which does not stand on its own. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The limit of this record has to be on the face of it. The terms this row was searched under were «gabapentin», all of them Latin script. Not one of the 186 search terms logged across the eighty eight rows of this dossier carries a single Armenian letter, while 39 of the 41 entries the same dossier accepts elsewhere are printed in Armenian script. A Latin search of an Armenian list returns nothing whether or not the substance is on it. So this record states what the logged search could reach, and it does not establish that the annex is silent about anything searched for that way. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. Two boundaries follow and both belong on the face of the cell. The regime is identified and the provision inside it is not, because the dossier names the legislation and no article, section or schedule within it. And the absence from the annex is not established, so nothing here says the substance could not turn out to be listed once the annex is searched in its own script. The instrument named is the law on medicines, and no provision within it is named. The contrast worth stating is inside this same dossier: the closely related pregabalin row is an express entry on the narcotics annex while this row's search returned none, so on this reading Armenia has split two similar medicines across two regimes.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has abolished the death penalty and Article 393 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia provides no life sentence for a drug offence, so the real exposure is a term of years. The 12 year ceiling under Article 393(3) would not be engaged if that absence holds, because the logged search returned no annex entry for gabapentin and record ARM-41 names «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք as the governing regime instead. Whatever control exists sits in that regime and carries that regime's own penalties, which this pass did not read. The apparent split with pregabalin is the whole exposure story for this row, and getting it the wrong way round is the likely traveller error.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for gabapentin is no accepted narcotics annex entry on the logged search, with the substance governed instead through «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, and no provision within that regime named. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry should be put for this substance and its close relative together, because the two sit in different regimes here and an answer given about one will be wrong about the other.
Documentation: Carry the ordinary paperwork for the product rather than a narcotics permit, which means the prescription and the dispensing packaging if gabapentin reaches you as a medicine and the retail packaging otherwise, and confirm the position with the Armenian Ministry of Health before travelling. The placement carried against is the separate regime at «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, record ARM-41, with no accepted annex line on the logged search. It was read on 20 September 2026 against the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The paperwork should carry both this substance and its close relative clearly separated, because the two sit in different regimes here and a shared letter invites the wrong answer.

GHB

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia, and the list it sits in can now be named. The հավելված to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003 prints «Գամմա-հիդրօքսիկարագաթթու» in Ցուցակ N 3, the list of substances over whose circulation certain control conditions are established, which is the mildest of the three substance lists rather than the prohibited one. The lists are alphabetical and carry no serial numbers, so the position is given the only way the annex allows: the line stands between Բուտոբարբիտալ and Գլուտեթիմիդ. The applied cell matched the line correctly but attached a Chemical Abstracts number to it, and the annex prints none, so the identification rests on the Armenian name and its position rather than on a registry number. The applied cell also called its own search record incomplete because the logged terms were Latin and the line is Armenian, and that gap is closed here: the line was reached by searching the Armenian forms listed in the source line. Neighbouring lines in the same Ցուցակ N 3 print «Եթեր բժշկական» and ether for anaesthesia, which shows this list does reach medical gases and agents, and that matters for how the lactone question should be put. Read on 21 September 2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for GHB is «Գամմա-հիդրօքսիկարագաթթու». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences. That 12 year ceiling is the lowest of any country authored in this session, and it is the figure the article itself prints rather than a reading of a range. The quantity instrument prints this row as «2 to 10 g»; «>10 to 50 g»; «>50 to 250 g; especially large >250 g». A printed annex figure in Armenia is a small amount, not a threshold for the offence. The statutory multipliers at article 393(4) to (6) turn it into the significant, large and especially large bands.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. The placement is «Գամմա-հիդրօքսիկարագաթթու» in Ցուցակ N 3, and the heading of that list matters to a patient: it is the list of substances subject to defined control conditions rather than prohibition, and it carries medical ether alongside, so a medicinal route is not excluded by the list heading itself. The enquiry should still ask whether the acid line is read as reaching its lactone, because the lactone row of this same table is open on precisely that question and no lactone line was found in the annex.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing gamma hydroxybutyric acid, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. Name the acid in Armenian as the annex names it, «Գամմա-հիդրօքսիկարագաթթու», and say that it stands in Ցուցակ N 3 between Բուտոբարբիտալ and Գլուտեթիմիդ, because the annex prints no Chemical Abstracts numbers and no serial numbers and that is the only way to point at the line. Name the acid precisely, because its lactone is separate and unresolved. Read on 21 September 2026.

Heroin

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Հերոին», and record ARM-44 matches it to heroin on Chemical Abstracts number 561-27-3. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «heroin», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. The annex prints diacetylmorphine under its own Armenian name rather than treating it as a preparation of morphine, so it stands as its own line with its own Chemical Abstracts number.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for heroin is «Հերոին». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences. That 12 year ceiling is the lowest of any country authored in this session, and it is the figure the article itself prints rather than a reading of a range. The quantity instrument prints this row as «0.006 to 0.03 g»; «>0.03 to 0.15 g»; «>0.15 to 0.75 g; especially large >0.75 g». A printed annex figure in Armenia is a small amount, not a threshold for the offence. The statutory multipliers at article 393(4) to (6) turn it into the significant, large and especially large bands.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for heroin is the printed annex line «Հերոին», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-44. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. There is no medical route to ask about in most systems and the question worth putting is whether Armenia recognises any, because the annex line carries no preparation limb that would show one.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing heroin, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the printed annex line «Հերոին», record ARM-44, Chemical Abstracts number 561-27-3. It was read on 20 September 2026 against the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026.

Hydrocodone

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Հիդրոկոդոն», and record ARM-46 matches it to hydrocodone on Chemical Abstracts number 125-29-1. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «hydrocodone», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. The annex prints the semi synthetic opioid under its own Armenian name, separately from the codeine line it is derived from, so the two are distinct entries rather than one entry and its derivative.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for hydrocodone is «Հիդրոկոդոն». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences. That 12 year ceiling is the lowest of any country authored in this session, and it is the figure the article itself prints rather than a reading of a range. The quantity instrument prints this row as «0.1 to 0.5 g»; «>0.5 to 2.5 g»; «>2.5 to 12.5 g; especially large >12.5 g».

That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for hydrocodone is the printed annex line «Հիդրոկոդոն», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-46. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry must cover combination analgesics, because the annex prints this opioid on its own line and a compound tablet carries it without saying so on the front of the box.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing hydrocodone, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the printed annex line «Հիդրոկոդոն», record ARM-46, Chemical Abstracts number 125-29-1.

Ketamine

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Կետամին», and record ARM-47 matches it to ketamine on Chemical Abstracts number 6740-88-1. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «ketamine», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. This is one of the three rows the dossier used as its own anti template control, on the ground that its quotation and its locator could not appear unchanged in a neighbouring country's file. The printed Armenian line and the Chemical Abstracts number are what carry that claim.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for ketamine is «Կետամին». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences. That 12 year ceiling is the lowest of any country authored in this session, and it is the figure the article itself prints rather than a reading of a range. The quantity instrument prints this row as «0.5 to 2.5 g»; «>2.5 to 12.5 g»; «>12.5 to 62.5 g; especially large >62.5 g». A printed annex figure in Armenia is a small amount, not a threshold for the offence.

A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for ketamine is the printed annex line «Կետամին», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-47. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry should ask whether an anaesthetic or veterinary supply is handled differently, because the accepted line carves out neither and the difference would have to come from the medicines law.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing ketamine, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border.

Lorazepam

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Լորազեպամ», and record ARM-50 matches it to lorazepam on Chemical Abstracts number 846-49-1. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «lorazepam», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. This is one of the six benzodiazepine members printed individually in the Armenian annex, and its presence is part of what turns the class question from a deferral into a finding.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for lorazepam is «Լորազեպամ». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences. That 12 year ceiling is the lowest of any country authored in this session, and it is the figure the article itself prints rather than a reading of a range.

The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry should name the member, because an emergency or hospital supply is not distinguished on the annex line and asking about the setting will not reach the entry.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing lorazepam, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border.

LSD

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Լիզերգիդ (LSD)», and record ARM-52 matches it to LSD on Chemical Abstracts number 50-37-3. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «LSD» and «lizergid», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The line carries the Armenian name with the Latin code in brackets, so it is one of the few entries in this annex a Latin search could have reached. One other row of this set was tested against it, the ergine row, and set aside. A second row that plainly should have been, the propionyl analogue, was tested against the coca alkaloid line instead.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for LSD is «ԼՍԴ ((+)-Լիզերգիդ.ԼՍԴ-25)». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences. That 12 year ceiling is the lowest of any country authored in this session, and it is the figure the article itself prints rather than a reading of a range. The quantity instrument prints this row as «0.002 to 0.01 g»; «>0.01 to 0.05 g»; «>0.05 to 0.25 g; especially large >0.25 g». A printed annex figure in Armenia is a small amount, not a threshold for the offence. The statutory multipliers at article 393(4) to (6) turn it into the significant, large and especially large bands.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for LSD is the printed annex line «Լիզերգիդ (LSD)», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-52. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry can be put in either script, since the line carries the Armenian name and the Latin code together, which is unusual in this annex and worth using.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing LSD, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the printed annex line «Լիզերգիդ (LSD)», record ARM-52, Chemical Abstracts number 50-37-3.

MDA

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Տենամֆետամին (MDA)», and record ARM-53 matches it to MDA on Chemical Abstracts number 4764-17-4. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «MDA» and «metilendioksiamfetamin», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The annex prints the international non proprietary name tenamfetamine with the familiar code in brackets, which is why a search on the code alone reaches it and a search on the common chemical name may not.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has abolished the death penalty and Article 393 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia provides no life sentence for a drug offence, so the real exposure is a term of years. The ceiling is 12 years' imprisonment under Article 393(3), and Article 393(4) to (6) measures the significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, so the band rather than the raw weight is what the article prices. The placement is the printed annex line «Տենամֆետամին (MDA)», record ARM-53. Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance beneath that placement. This pass carries no printed small amount figure for it, so the number those bands multiply is not stated here and no band can be computed from this cell. The entry is the parent phenethylamine and it is a separate line from the methylated compound in this same annex.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for MDA is the printed annex line «Տենամֆետամին (MDA)», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-53. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry must use the international non proprietary name as well as the code, because the annex files this substance under the name and puts the code in brackets.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing MDA, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the printed annex line «Տենամֆետամին (MDA)», record ARM-53, Chemical Abstracts number 4764-17-4. It was read on 20 September 2026 against the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The paperwork should use the international non proprietary name, because that is how the annex files the substance and the code sits in brackets behind it.

MDMA

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «MDMA», and record ARM-54 matches it to MDMA on Chemical Abstracts number 42542-10-9. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «MDMA» and «metilendioksimetamfetamin», all of them Latin script, and this is one of only two accepted entries in the whole dossier that the annex prints in Latin letters alone, so a Latin search could reach this line where for 39 other accepted entries it could not. This is one of a small number of lines the Armenian annex prints in Latin letters only, with no Armenian form beside it, so for this row the Latin only search recorded by the dossier was adequate where for most rows it was not.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for MDMA is «ՄԴՄԱ». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences. That 12 year ceiling is the lowest of any country authored in this session, and it is the figure the article itself prints rather than a reading of a range. The quantity instrument prints this row as «0.01 to 0.05 g»; «>0.05 to 0.25 g»; «>0.25 to 1.25 g; especially large >1.25 g». A printed annex figure in Armenia is a small amount, not a threshold for the offence. The statutory multipliers at article 393(4) to (6) turn it into the significant, large and especially large bands.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for MDMA is the printed annex line «MDMA», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-54. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry can be put in Latin script alone, which is true of very few rows here, because this is one of the lines the annex prints without an Armenian form.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing MDMA, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the printed annex line «MDMA», record ARM-54, Chemical Abstracts number 42542-10-9.

Memantine

Legal status: Governed in Armenia through «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք rather than through the narcotics annex, and the cell is a finding about which body of law applies rather than a settled finding that the annex is silent. Record ARM-56 names that regime and describes the control as memantine medicinal-product controls, which is the positive half and it stands. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, was also searched for this row and returned no accepted entry, and that is the negative half, which does not stand on its own. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The limit of this record has to be on the face of it. The terms this row was searched under were «memantine», all of them Latin script. Not one of the 186 search terms logged across the eighty eight rows of this dossier carries a single Armenian letter, while 39 of the 41 entries the same dossier accepts elsewhere are printed in Armenian script. A Latin search of an Armenian list returns nothing whether or not the substance is on it. So this record states what the logged search could reach, and it does not establish that the annex is silent about anything searched for that way. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. Two boundaries follow and both belong on the face of the cell. The regime is identified and the provision inside it is not, because the dossier names the legislation and no article, section or schedule within it. And the absence from the annex is not established, so nothing here says the substance could not turn out to be listed once the annex is searched in its own script. The instrument named is the law on medicines, and no provision within it is named. The search recorded was the name and its own uppercase, which is one string and not two.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has abolished the death penalty and Article 393 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia provides no life sentence for a drug offence, so the real exposure is a term of years. The 12 year ceiling under Article 393(3) would not be engaged if that absence holds, because the logged search returned no annex entry for memantine and record ARM-56 names «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք as the governing regime instead. Whatever control exists sits in that regime and carries that regime's own penalties, which this pass did not read. A dementia medicine is outside the narcotics annex on this reading, and the criminal ceiling is not engaged.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for memantine is no accepted narcotics annex entry on the logged search, with the substance governed instead through «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, and no provision within that regime named. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry can be the ordinary one for a prescription medicine, because no narcotics placement was recorded and the medicines law is the whole of the applicable regime on this reading.
Documentation: Carry the ordinary paperwork for the product rather than a narcotics permit, which means the prescription and the dispensing packaging if memantine reaches you as a medicine and the retail packaging otherwise, and confirm the position with the Armenian Ministry of Health before travelling. The placement carried against is the separate regime at «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, record ARM-56, with no accepted annex line on the logged search. It was read on 20 September 2026 against the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The paperwork is the ordinary prescription and dispensing record, because no annex placement was accepted for this row.

Mescaline

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Մեսկալին», and record ARM-58 matches it to mescaline on Chemical Abstracts number 54-04-6. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «mescaline», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. The annex prints the alkaloid under its Armenian name. The peyote row of this set inspected this same line and was set aside against it, because the cactus was not proved to be its alkaloid without proof of composition.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for mescaline is «Մեսկալին». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences. That 12 year ceiling is the lowest of any country authored in this session, and it is the figure the article itself prints rather than a reading of a range. The quantity instrument prints this row as «0.015 to 0.075 g»; «>0.075 to 0.375 g»; «>0.375 to 1.875 g; especially large >1.875 g». A printed annex figure in Armenia is a small amount, not a threshold for the offence. The statutory multipliers at article 393(4) to (6) turn it into the significant, large and especially large bands.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for mescaline is the printed annex line «Մեսկալին», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-58. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry should ask whether cactus material is treated as the alkaloid, because the annex prints the alkaloid and the peyote row of this same table is open on that point.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing mescaline, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the printed annex line «Մեսկալին», record ARM-58, Chemical Abstracts number 54-04-6.

Methadone

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Մեթադոն», and record ARM-59 matches it to methadone on Chemical Abstracts number 76-99-3. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026.

Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for methadone is «Մեթադոն». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences. That 12 year ceiling is the lowest of any country authored in this session, and it is the figure the article itself prints rather than a reading of a range.

Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing methadone, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border.

Methamphetamine

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Մեթամֆետամին», and record ARM-60 matches it to methamphetamine on Chemical Abstracts number 537-46-2. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «methamphetamine», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. The annex prints the substance under its own Armenian name, separately from the amphetamine line, and with its own Chemical Abstracts number, so the two stimulants are two entries rather than one entry and its isomer.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for methamphetamine is «Մեթամֆետամին». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences. That 12 year ceiling is the lowest of any country authored in this session, and it is the figure the article itself prints rather than a reading of a range.

That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for methamphetamine is the printed annex line «Մեթամֆետամին», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-60. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry should name this substance rather than the amphetamine line, because the annex prints the two separately and an answer about one is not an answer about the other.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing methamphetamine, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the printed annex line «Մեթամֆետամին», record ARM-60, Chemical Abstracts number 537-46-2. It was read on 20 September 2026 against the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The paperwork should name this substance and not its close relative, because the annex prints the two as separate lines.

Methaqualone (Quaaludes)

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Մեթակվալոն», and record ARM-61 matches it to methaqualone on Chemical Abstracts number 72-44-6. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «methaqualone», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. The annex still prints this withdrawn sedative under its own Armenian name, so a substance that has no current medical use in most systems remains an express entry here.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has abolished the death penalty and Article 393 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia provides no life sentence for a drug offence, so the real exposure is a term of years. The ceiling is 12 years' imprisonment under Article 393(3), and Article 393(4) to (6) measures the significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, so the band rather than the raw weight is what the article prices. The placement is the printed annex line «Մեթակվալոն», record ARM-61. Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance beneath that placement. This pass carries no printed small amount figure for it, so the number those bands multiply is not stated here and no band can be computed from this cell. An entry that survives the medicine that produced it is still an entry, and the exposure does not soften because the product is obsolete.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for methaqualone is the printed annex line «Մեթակվալոն», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-61. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. There is unlikely to be a current medical route to ask about, and the question worth putting is whether any historic preparation survives in the medicines register, because the annex line does not say.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing methaqualone, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the printed annex line «Մեթակվալոն», record ARM-61, Chemical Abstracts number 72-44-6.

There is unlikely to be any paperwork to carry, because the preparations that would have produced it are withdrawn while the annex line is not.

Methylone

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «bk-MDMA (Մեթիլոն)», and record ARM-62 matches it to methylone on Chemical Abstracts number 186028-79-5. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «metilon» and «bk-MDMA», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The line leads with the Latin code and gives the Armenian name in brackets, the reverse order from most of this annex. It is also one of the three rows the dossier used as its own anti template control.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for methylone is «bk-MDMA (Մեթիլոն)». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences. That 12 year ceiling is the lowest of any country authored in this session, and it is the figure the article itself prints rather than a reading of a range. The quantity instrument prints this row as «0.01 to 0.05 g»; «>0.05 to 0.25 g»; «>0.25 to 1.25 g; especially large >1.25 g». A printed annex figure in Armenia is a small amount, not a threshold for the offence. The statutory multipliers at article 393(4) to (6) turn it into the significant, large and especially large bands.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for methylone is the printed annex line «bk-MDMA (Մեթիլոն)», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-62. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry should lead with the code, because that is what the annex line leads with and the Armenian name sits in brackets behind it.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing methylone, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border.

Methylphenidate

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Մեթիլֆենիդատ», and record ARM-63 matches it to methylphenidate on Chemical Abstracts number 113-45-1. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «methylphenidate», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. The annex prints the stimulant under its own Armenian name, and no prescription or paediatric limb appears on the line the dossier accepted.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has abolished the death penalty and Article 393 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia provides no life sentence for a drug offence, so the real exposure is a term of years. The ceiling is 12 years' imprisonment under Article 393(3), and Article 393(4) to (6) measures the significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, so the band rather than the raw weight is what the article prices. The placement is the printed annex line «Մեթիլֆենիդատ», record ARM-63. Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance beneath that placement. This pass carries no printed small amount figure for it, so the number those bands multiply is not stated here and no band can be computed from this cell. A dispensed tablet and an undispensed one meet the same printed entry on this record.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for methylphenidate is the printed annex line «Մեթիլֆենիդատ», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-63. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry must ask what documentation a dispensed prescription needs, because the annex line carries no prescription limb and that question belongs wholly to the medicines law.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing methylphenidate, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the printed annex line «Մեթիլֆենիդատ», record ARM-63, Chemical Abstracts number 113-45-1.

Modafinil

Legal status: Governed in Armenia through «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք rather than through the narcotics annex, and the cell is a finding about which body of law applies rather than a settled finding that the annex is silent. Record ARM-65 names that regime and describes the control as modafinil medicinal-product controls, which is the positive half and it stands. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, was also searched for this row and returned no accepted entry, and that is the negative half, which does not stand on its own. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The limit of this record has to be on the face of it. The terms this row was searched under were «modafinil», all of them Latin script. Not one of the 186 search terms logged across the eighty eight rows of this dossier carries a single Armenian letter, while 39 of the 41 entries the same dossier accepts elsewhere are printed in Armenian script. A Latin search of an Armenian list returns nothing whether or not the substance is on it. So this record states what the logged search could reach, and it does not establish that the annex is silent about anything searched for that way. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. Two boundaries follow and both belong on the face of the cell. The regime is identified and the provision inside it is not, because the dossier names the legislation and no article, section or schedule within it. And the absence from the annex is not established, so nothing here says the substance could not turn out to be listed once the annex is searched in its own script. The instrument named is the law on medicines, and no provision within it is named. Several systems place this stimulant on a controlled schedule, so if the absence holds it is a national choice rather than a regional default, and the logged search is not strong enough to show that it holds.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has abolished the death penalty and Article 393 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia provides no life sentence for a drug offence, so the real exposure is a term of years. The 12 year ceiling under Article 393(3) would not be engaged if that absence holds, because the logged search returned no annex entry for modafinil and record ARM-65 names «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք as the governing regime instead. Whatever control exists sits in that regime and carries that regime's own penalties, which this pass did not read. It is the absence from the annex that would keep this row outside the criminal ceiling, and the medicines regime supplies whatever control there is.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for modafinil is no accepted narcotics annex entry on the logged search, with the substance governed instead through «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, and no provision within that regime named. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry should say where the traveller is coming from, because this substance is scheduled in several other systems and an import may be refused at the other end rather than at this one.
Documentation: Carry the ordinary paperwork for the product rather than a narcotics permit, which means the prescription and the dispensing packaging if modafinil reaches you as a medicine and the retail packaging otherwise, and confirm the position with the Armenian Ministry of Health before travelling. The placement carried against is the separate regime at «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, record ARM-65, with no accepted annex line on the logged search. It was read on 20 September 2026 against the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The paperwork should be complete for the outbound leg too, because several other systems schedule this substance even though this reading does not.

Morphine

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Մորֆին», and record ARM-66 matches it to morphine on Chemical Abstracts number 57-27-2. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «morphine», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. The annex prints the principal opium alkaloid under its own Armenian name, separately from the opium line of this same set, so the plant preparation and its alkaloid are two entries.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for morphine is «Մորֆին». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences. That 12 year ceiling is the lowest of any country authored in this session, and it is the figure the article itself prints rather than a reading of a range. The quantity instrument prints this row as «0.01 to 0.05 g»; «>0.05 to 0.25 g»; «>0.25 to 1.25 g; especially large >1.25 g». A printed annex figure in Armenia is a small amount, not a threshold for the offence. The statutory multipliers at article 393(4) to (6) turn it into the significant, large and especially large bands.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for morphine is the printed annex line «Մորֆին», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-66. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry should name the alkaloid rather than the plant preparation, because the annex prints the two as separate lines and a palliative supply is the alkaloid.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing morphine, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the printed annex line «Մորֆին», record ARM-66, Chemical Abstracts number 57-27-2. It was read on 20 September 2026 against the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026.

Nicotine

Legal status: Governed in Armenia through tobacco and nicotine-product legislation rather than through the narcotics annex, and the cell is a finding about which body of law applies rather than a settled finding that the annex is silent. Record ARM-68 names that regime and describes the control as nicotine product controls, which is the positive half and it stands. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, was also searched for this row and returned no accepted entry, and that is the negative half, which does not stand on its own. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The limit of this record has to be on the face of it. The terms this row was searched under were «nicotine», all of them Latin script.

A Latin search of an Armenian list returns nothing whether or not the substance is on it. So this record states what the logged search could reach, and it does not establish that the annex is silent about anything searched for that way. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. Two boundaries follow and both belong on the face of the cell. The regime is identified and the provision inside it is not, because the dossier names the legislation and no article, section or schedule within it. And the absence from the annex is not established, so nothing here says the substance could not turn out to be listed once the annex is searched in its own script. The instrument named is the tobacco and nicotine product legislation, distinct from the tobacco row of this same set, which points at the tobacco control and excise legislation, so the molecule and the leaf are recorded under two regime labels.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has abolished the death penalty and Article 393 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia provides no life sentence for a drug offence, so the real exposure is a term of years. The 12 year ceiling under Article 393(3) would not be engaged if that absence holds, because the logged search returned no annex entry for nicotine and record ARM-68 names tobacco and nicotine-product legislation as the governing regime instead. Whatever control exists sits in that regime and carries that regime's own penalties, which this pass did not read. Neither regime engages the narcotics ceiling, and a nicotine product is controlled by sale and labelling rules instead.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for nicotine is no accepted narcotics annex entry on the logged search, with the substance governed instead through tobacco and nicotine-product legislation, and no provision within that regime named. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry belongs to the product rules for the form carried, because a pouch, a liquid and a patch are not necessarily handled alike under the regime named here.
Documentation: Carry the ordinary paperwork for the product rather than a narcotics permit, which means the prescription and the dispensing packaging if nicotine reaches you as a medicine and the retail packaging otherwise, and confirm the position with the Armenian Ministry of Health before travelling. The placement carried against is the separate regime at tobacco and nicotine-product legislation, record ARM-68, with no accepted annex line on the logged search. It was read on 20 September 2026 against the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The paperwork is the retail packaging for the form carried, because the regime recorded here is a product regime and not a medicines one.

Nimetazepam

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Նիմետազեպամ», and record ARM-69 matches it to nimetazepam on Chemical Abstracts number 2011-67-8. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «nimetazepam», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. This is one of the six benzodiazepine members printed individually, and it is the member least likely to be covered by a general class reading, which is what makes the express Armenian line worth stating.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for nimetazepam is «Նիմետազեպամ». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences. That 12 year ceiling is the lowest of any country authored in this session, and it is the figure the article itself prints rather than a reading of a range. The quantity instrument prints this row as «0.005 to 0.025 g»; «>0.025 to 0.125 g»; «>0.125 to 0.625 g; especially large >0.625 g». A printed annex figure in Armenia is a small amount, not a threshold for the offence. The statutory multipliers at article 393(4) to (6) turn it into the significant, large and especially large bands.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for nimetazepam is the printed annex line «Նիմետազեպամ», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-69. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry should name this member specifically, because it is the one least likely to be found by an official searching under the class word.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing nimetazepam, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the printed annex line «Նիմետազեպամ», record ARM-69, Chemical Abstracts number 2011-67-8. It was read on 20 September 2026 against the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026.

Nitrous Oxide

Legal status: Not listed in the Armenian annex, and that is now a measured absence rather than the unmeasured one the applied cell described. The հավելված to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003 was searched in Armenian script across all four ցուցակներ for ազոտ, ազոտի, ենթօքսիդ, օքսիդ, դինիտրոգեն and ծիծաղաբեր gas, and for the registry number, and no line answers to any of them. The applied cell said its record established nothing because every logged term was Latin and the list is Armenian, and that objection is answered here by searching in the script. The conflict it recorded is also settled. The applied cell said the amyl nitrite row of the same dossier cites a nitrous oxide entry as a near entry it inspected in the annex. The annex does carry nitrite lines, printing «Isobutyl nitrite (Իզոբութիլ նիտրիտ)», «2-Մեթիլպրոպիլնիտրիտ» and «ամիլնիտրիտ» consecutively in Ցուցակ N 1, and those are nitrites. There is no nitrous oxide line beside them, so the near entry was misread and the two rows do not in fact disagree. The regime that reaches this gas is medicines, food additive and product safety legislation according to intended use, and the dossier names no provision inside that regime. Read on 21 September 2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has abolished the death penalty and Article 393 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia provides no life sentence for a drug offence, so the real exposure is a term of years. The 12 year ceiling under Article 393(3) is not engaged, and the applied cell made that conditional on an absence it could not establish. The absence is established now, by an Armenian script search of all four ցուցակներ, so the narcotics scale does not engage on this row rather than merely probably not engaging. Whatever control exists sits in medicines, food additive and product safety legislation according to intended use and carries that regime's own penalties, which this pass did not read. Which of the three regimes applies turns on intended use, so a catering cartridge and a medical cylinder are not necessarily in the same place.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for nitrous oxide is no accepted narcotics annex entry on the logged search, with the substance governed instead through medicines, food-additive and product-safety legislation according to intended use, and no provision within that regime named. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry must state the intended use before it can be answered at all, because the regime named for this row is selected by intended use and by nothing else.
Documentation: Carry the ordinary paperwork for the product rather than a narcotics permit, which means the prescription and the dispensing packaging if nitrous oxide reaches you as a medicine and the retail packaging otherwise, and confirm the position with the Armenian Ministry of Health before travelling. The paperwork has to establish the intended use, because that is what selects the regime for this row. The narcotics half of the applied cell is no longer open: the annex was read in its own script and carries no line for this gas, with the horizon of that reading stated in the source line, and the annex can be amended so the question should be put again before travel.

Opium

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Ափիոն», and record ARM-71 matches it to opium on Chemical Abstracts number 8008-60-4. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «opium», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. The annex prints the plant preparation under its own Armenian name, with a Chemical Abstracts number for the crude material rather than for a single alkaloid, so the entry is the preparation and not a molecule.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for opium is «Ափիոն (այդ թվում` բժշկական)». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences. That 12 year ceiling is the lowest of any country authored in this session, and it is the figure the article itself prints rather than a reading of a range. The quantity instrument prints this row as «0.1 to 0.5 g»; «>0.5 to 2.5 g»; «>2.5 to 12.5 g; especially large >12.5 g».

The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry should name the preparation rather than the alkaloid, because the annex prints both and the registry number on this line is for the crude material.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing opium, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border.

Oxycodone

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Օքսիկոդոն», and record ARM-72 matches it to oxycodone on Chemical Abstracts number 76-42-6. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «oxycodone», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. The annex prints the semi synthetic opioid under its own Armenian name, and no modified release or preparation limb appears on the line the dossier accepted.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for oxycodone is «Օքսիկոդոն». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences.

The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry must ask what a modified release preparation needs, because the annex line carries no preparation limb and a slow release tablet is a common travelling form.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing oxycodone, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border.

PCP

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Ֆենցիկլիդին», and record ARM-73 matches it to phencyclidine on Chemical Abstracts number 77-10-1. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «pcp», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. The annex prints the chemical name phencyclidine in Armenian script rather than the three letter code, so a search on the code alone would not have reached this line and a search on the chemical name would.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for PCP is «Ֆենցիկլիդին (ՖՑՊ)». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences. That 12 year ceiling is the lowest of any country authored in this session, and it is the figure the article itself prints rather than a reading of a range. The quantity instrument prints this row as «0.0001 to 0.0005 g»; «>0.0005 to 0.0025 g»; «>0.0025 to 0.0125 g; especially large >0.0125 g». A printed annex figure in Armenia is a small amount, not a threshold for the offence. The statutory multipliers at article 393(4) to (6) turn it into the significant, large and especially large bands.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for phencyclidine is the printed annex line «Ֆենցիկլիդին», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-73. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry must use the chemical name, because the annex line is the chemical name in Armenian script and a question put under the three letter code will not reach it.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing phencyclidine, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the printed annex line «Ֆենցիկլիդին», record ARM-73, Chemical Abstracts number 77-10-1.

Pink Cocaine / Tusi

Legal status: Not applicable as a single status for Armenia, and this is a completed decision rather than an unfinished search. The reason is Armenia's own: the label denotes a variable street mixture rather than one molecule, and record ARM-76 of the Armenian dossier stopped at applicability for that reason rather than searching on. Armenia's annex is a list of named substances, so a mixture sold under a colour has no line of its own to match. Two constituents the name is commonly attached to are themselves in this table and they point opposite ways. The brominated phenethylamine is printed in the annex and carried by its own record, and the ketamine line is printed as well, so a sample containing either is controlled through that constituent, while a sample containing neither is not reached at all. The result therefore follows each identified constituent and the powder's colour decides nothing. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The limit of this record has to be on the face of it. The terms this row was searched under were «pink cocaine», «tusi» and «2C-B», all of them Latin script. Not one of the 186 search terms logged across the eighty eight rows of this dossier carries a single Armenian letter, while 39 of the 41 entries the same dossier accepts elsewhere are printed in Armenian script. A Latin search of an Armenian list returns nothing whether or not the substance is on it. So this record states what the logged search could reach, and it does not establish that the annex is silent about anything searched for that way.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has abolished the death penalty and Article 393 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia provides no life sentence for a drug offence, so the real exposure is a term of years. The 12 year ceiling under Article 393(3) and the bands at Article 393(4) to (6) apply to a listed substance, and no single annex entry can be assigned to the label, so the exposure follows each constituent actually identified rather than the label on the package. The two constituents the label is most often attached to are both printed in the annex, so a sample containing either carries the full exposure through that constituent, while a sample containing neither is not reached by any line at all.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for pink cocaine is no single annex entry, because the label names a mixture and the annex names substances. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry cannot be put under the label at all, and has to be put under whichever constituent is actually identified, because the annex answers molecules and has nothing to say about a colour.
Documentation: Carry nothing on the strength of the label, because the label is what this row declines to resolve. Identify the constituent, carry the paperwork that constituent needs, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy before travelling. The placement carried against is no single annex line, so the constituent's own placement is what governs. It was read on 20 September 2026 against the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. No paperwork can be prepared against a label, because the annex answers molecules and the label names a mixture.

Poppers

Legal status: Not applicable as a single status for Armenia, and this is a completed decision rather than an unfinished search. The reason is Armenia's own: the label covers several different alkyl nitrites and record ARM-77 of the Armenian dossier stopped at applicability on that ground. The amyl nitrite row of this same table, which is the one alkyl nitrite the table names, is itself unresolved, so there is no settled member row from which the label could be resolved even if the label denoted one substance. The search recorded here covered the product word and two transliterations, one for the specific ester and one for the family, and that is where it stopped. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The limit of this record has to be on the face of it. The terms this row was searched under were «poppers», «amil nitrit» and «alkil nitriti», all of them Latin script. Not one of the 186 search terms logged across the eighty eight rows of this dossier carries a single Armenian letter, while 39 of the 41 entries the same dossier accepts elsewhere are printed in Armenian script. A Latin search of an Armenian list returns nothing whether or not the substance is on it. So this record states what the logged search could reach, and it does not establish that the annex is silent about anything searched for that way.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has abolished the death penalty and Article 393 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia provides no life sentence for a drug offence, so the real exposure is a term of years. The 12 year ceiling under Article 393(3) and the bands at Article 393(4) to (6) apply to a listed substance, and no single annex entry can be assigned to the label, so the exposure follows each constituent actually identified rather than the label on the package. The one member of this group the table names is itself unresolved, so even a correctly identified sample may meet a row that states no exposure.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for poppers is no single annex entry, because the label covers a group of esters rather than one substance. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry has to name the specific ester, and the one ester this table does name is itself unresolved, so even a precise question may not have a recorded answer.
Documentation: Carry nothing on the strength of the label, because the label is what this row declines to resolve. Identify the constituent, carry the paperwork that constituent needs, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy before travelling.

Pregabalin

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Պրեգաբալին», and record ARM-78 matches it to pregabalin on Chemical Abstracts number 148553-50-8. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «pregabalin», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. This is one of the three rows the dossier used as its own anti template control. It is also a substance many systems hold outside their narcotics schedules altogether, so an express Armenian line is the kind of national choice a regional generalisation would get wrong.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for pregabalin is «Պրեգաբալին». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences. That 12 year ceiling is the lowest of any country authored in this session, and it is the figure the article itself prints rather than a reading of a range. The quantity instrument prints this row as «0.075 to 0.375 g»; «>0.375 to 1.875 g»; «>1.875 to 9.375 g; especially large >9.375 g». A printed annex figure in Armenia is a small amount, not a threshold for the offence. The statutory multipliers at article 393(4) to (6) turn it into the significant, large and especially large bands.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for pregabalin is the printed annex line «Պրեգաբալին», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-78. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry is the important one on this row, because a traveller carrying an ordinary repeat prescription will not expect a narcotics annex placement and will not have asked.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing pregabalin, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the printed annex line «Պրեգաբալին», record ARM-78, Chemical Abstracts number 148553-50-8. It was read on 20 September 2026 against the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The paperwork matters more on this row than on most, because a routine repeat prescription is exactly what a traveller will carry without expecting an annex placement behind it.

Psilocybin

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Պսիլոցիբին», and record ARM-79 matches it to psilocybin on Chemical Abstracts number 520-52-5. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «psilocybin», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. The annex prints the alkaloid under its Armenian name. The fly agaric row of this set inspected this same line and was set aside against it, which is a chemical mismatch on its face, because that mushroom's active constituents are not this alkaloid.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for psilocybin is «Պսիլոցիբին». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences. That 12 year ceiling is the lowest of any country authored in this session, and it is the figure the article itself prints rather than a reading of a range.

A printed annex figure in Armenia is a small amount, not a threshold for the offence.

If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for psilocybin is the printed annex line «Պսիլոցիբին», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-79. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry should ask whether fungal material is treated as the alkaloid, because the annex prints the alkaloid and no fungal limb appears on the line.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing psilocybin, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the printed annex line «Պսիլոցիբին», record ARM-79, Chemical Abstracts number 520-52-5.

Quetiapine

Legal status: Governed in Armenia through «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք rather than through the narcotics annex, and the cell is a finding about which body of law applies rather than a settled finding that the annex is silent. Record ARM-80 names that regime and describes the control as quetiapine medicinal-product controls, which is the positive half and it stands. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, was also searched for this row and returned no accepted entry, and that is the negative half, which does not stand on its own. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The limit of this record has to be on the face of it. The terms this row was searched under were «quetiapine», all of them Latin script. Not one of the 186 search terms logged across the eighty eight rows of this dossier carries a single Armenian letter, while 39 of the 41 entries the same dossier accepts elsewhere are printed in Armenian script. A Latin search of an Armenian list returns nothing whether or not the substance is on it. So this record states what the logged search could reach, and it does not establish that the annex is silent about anything searched for that way. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. Two boundaries follow and both belong on the face of the cell. The regime is identified and the provision inside it is not, because the dossier names the legislation and no article, section or schedule within it. And the absence from the annex is not established, so nothing here says the substance could not turn out to be listed once the annex is searched in its own script. The instrument named is the law on medicines, and no provision within it is named. The search recorded was the name and its own uppercase, so the breadth a two term set appears to claim is not breadth here.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has abolished the death penalty and Article 393 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia provides no life sentence for a drug offence, so the real exposure is a term of years. The 12 year ceiling under Article 393(3) would not be engaged if that absence holds, because the logged search returned no annex entry for quetiapine and record ARM-80 names «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք as the governing regime instead. Whatever control exists sits in that regime and carries that regime's own penalties, which this pass did not read. An antipsychotic outside the annex does not engage the criminal ceiling, whatever its abuse profile elsewhere.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for quetiapine is no accepted narcotics annex entry on the logged search, with the substance governed instead through «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, and no provision within that regime named. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry can be the ordinary one for a prescription medicine, since the only regime recorded for this row is the medicines law and no annex placement was accepted.
Documentation: Carry the ordinary paperwork for the product rather than a narcotics permit, which means the prescription and the dispensing packaging if quetiapine reaches you as a medicine and the retail packaging otherwise, and confirm the position with the Armenian Ministry of Health before travelling. The placement carried against is the separate regime at «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, record ARM-80, with no accepted annex line on the logged search. It was read on 20 September 2026 against the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The paperwork is the ordinary prescription and dispensing record, since the medicines law is the whole of the regime recorded here.

Scopolamine (Devil's Breath)

Legal status: Governed in Armenia through «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք rather than through the narcotics annex, and the cell is a finding about which body of law applies rather than a settled finding that the annex is silent. Record ARM-82 names that regime and describes the control as scopolamine medicinal-product controls, which is the positive half and it stands. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, was also searched for this row and returned no accepted entry, and that is the negative half, which does not stand on its own. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The limit of this record has to be on the face of it. The terms this row was searched under were «scopolamine», all of them Latin script. Not one of the 186 search terms logged across the eighty eight rows of this dossier carries a single Armenian letter, while 39 of the 41 entries the same dossier accepts elsewhere are printed in Armenian script. A Latin search of an Armenian list returns nothing whether or not the substance is on it. So this record states what the logged search could reach, and it does not establish that the annex is silent about anything searched for that way. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. Two boundaries follow and both belong on the face of the cell. The regime is identified and the provision inside it is not, because the dossier names the legislation and no article, section or schedule within it. And the absence from the annex is not established, so nothing here says the substance could not turn out to be listed once the annex is searched in its own script. The instrument named is the law on medicines, and no provision within it is named. The substance is a plant alkaloid, and the annex reached by this dossier carries several plant alkaloid entries, so the category was clearly within the dossier's reach even though the logged search cannot show that this alkaloid is outside it.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has abolished the death penalty and Article 393 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia provides no life sentence for a drug offence, so the real exposure is a term of years. The 12 year ceiling under Article 393(3) would not be engaged if that absence holds, because the logged search returned no annex entry for scopolamine and record ARM-82 names «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք as the governing regime instead. Whatever control exists sits in that regime and carries that regime's own penalties, which this pass did not read. A motion sickness patch is a medicines question here and not a narcotics one.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for scopolamine is no accepted narcotics annex entry on the logged search, with the substance governed instead through «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, and no provision within that regime named. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry should name the delivery form, because a patch, an injection and a plant preparation are different products and only the medicines regime was recorded here.
Documentation: Carry the ordinary paperwork for the product rather than a narcotics permit, which means the prescription and the dispensing packaging if scopolamine reaches you as a medicine and the retail packaging otherwise, and confirm the position with the Armenian Ministry of Health before travelling. The placement carried against is the separate regime at «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, record ARM-82, with no accepted annex line on the logged search.

Synthetic Cannabinoids (K2 / Spice)

Legal status: Not applicable as a class status for Armenia. The applicability answer holds and the evidence the applied cell gave for it is corrected. The label names an open structural family with no fixed membership, and the հավելված to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003 answers by printed line, so an identified molecule is required before any line can be matched. That much stands. The applied cell then described the annex as carrying named substances and one isomer clause, the clause reaching all isomers of tetrahydrocannabinol, «Տետրահիդրոկանաբինոլի բոլոր իզոմերները», and reported that a search under one named compound found nothing. The second half is wrong. Ցուցակ N 1 prints a long uninterrupted run of individually named synthetic cannabinoids, beginning at ACBM-018 and running through the AM, CP, HU, JWH and MDMB series, and the compound the applied cell searched for is in it: «JWH-018» is printed against «1-պենտիլ-3-(նաֆթալին-1-իլ) ինդոլ», between JWH-015 and JWH-019. The applicability conclusion survives that correction because the run is an enumeration. Unlike its neighbours in this set, this annex carries no clause reaching a synthetic cannabinoid structural group at group level, and the one family clause it does carry is about the isomers of a natural cannabinoid. Read on 21 September 2026.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has abolished the death penalty and Article 393 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia provides no life sentence for a drug offence, so the real exposure is a term of years. The 12 year ceiling under Article 393(3) and the bands at Article 393(4) to (6) apply to a listed substance, and the exposure follows each constituent actually identified rather than the label on the package. The correction to make is that identifying the constituent is far more likely to produce a placement than the applied cell implied, because Ցուցակ N 1 prints a long run of these compounds by name and the prohibited list is where they sit. A compound made after the last amendment read here may still have no line at all, which is what keeps the family question open at family level.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. There is no class placement for this row, because the annex carries named lines and one clause about the isomers of a natural cannabinoid, neither of which bounds an open family. Where a constituent is identified it will usually be found among the named synthetic cannabinoids of Ցուցակ N 1, and that is the prohibited list, so no medicinal route runs through it. The enquiry has to name a molecule.
Documentation: Carry nothing on the strength of the label, because the label is what this row declines to resolve. Identify the constituent, carry the paperwork that constituent needs, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy before travelling. Ask about the compound by its code name as the annex prints it, because Ցուցակ N 1 prints these compounds under their Latin code names with the Armenian chemical description beneath, and the annex carries no Chemical Abstracts numbers and no serial numbers. The annex can be amended, so recheck before travel. Read on 21 September 2026.

Tobacco

Legal status: Governed in Armenia through tobacco-control and excise legislation rather than through the narcotics annex, and the cell is a finding about which body of law applies rather than a settled finding that the annex is silent. Record ARM-85 names that regime and describes the control as tobacco product controls, which is the positive half and it stands. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, was also searched for this row and returned no accepted entry, and that is the negative half, which does not stand on its own. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The limit of this record has to be on the face of it. The terms this row was searched under were «tobacco», all of them Latin script. Not one of the 186 search terms logged across the eighty eight rows of this dossier carries a single Armenian letter, while 39 of the 41 entries the same dossier accepts elsewhere are printed in Armenian script. A Latin search of an Armenian list returns nothing whether or not the substance is on it. So this record states what the logged search could reach, and it does not establish that the annex is silent about anything searched for that way. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. Two boundaries follow and both belong on the face of the cell. The regime is identified and the provision inside it is not, because the dossier names the legislation and no article, section or schedule within it. And the absence from the annex is not established, so nothing here says the substance could not turn out to be listed once the annex is searched in its own script. The instrument named is the tobacco control and excise legislation, which is a different label from the one the nicotine row of this same set carries, so the leaf and the molecule are recorded under two regimes.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has abolished the death penalty and Article 393 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia provides no life sentence for a drug offence, so the real exposure is a term of years. The 12 year ceiling under Article 393(3) would not be engaged if that absence holds, because the logged search returned no annex entry for tobacco and record ARM-85 names tobacco-control and excise legislation as the governing regime instead. Whatever control exists sits in that regime and carries that regime's own penalties, which this pass did not read. Excise and tobacco control carry their own penalties, and none of them is the narcotics ceiling.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for tobacco is no accepted narcotics annex entry on the logged search, with the substance governed instead through tobacco-control and excise legislation, and no provision within that regime named. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry belongs to customs and excise, because the regime named here is a tobacco control and excise one and personal import limits are set there.
Documentation: Carry the ordinary paperwork for the product rather than a narcotics permit, which means the prescription and the dispensing packaging if tobacco reaches you as a medicine and the retail packaging otherwise, and confirm the position with the Armenian Ministry of Health before travelling. The placement carried against is the separate regime at tobacco-control and excise legislation, record ARM-85, with no accepted annex line on the logged search. It was read on 20 September 2026 against the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The paperwork is a customs declaration against the personal import limit, which sits in the excise regime recorded for this row.

Tramadol

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Տրամադոլ», and record ARM-86 matches it to tramadol on Chemical Abstracts number 27203-92-5. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «tramadol», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. The annex prints the opioid analgesic under its own Armenian name. Many systems leave it outside the narcotics schedule, so the express Armenian line is the point of the row rather than a formality.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for tramadol is «Տրամադոլ». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences. That 12 year ceiling is the lowest of any country authored in this session, and it is the figure the article itself prints rather than a reading of a range. The quantity instrument prints this row as «0.05 to 0.25 g»; «>0.25 to 1.25 g»; «>1.25 to 6.25 g; especially large >6.25 g». A printed annex figure in Armenia is a small amount, not a threshold for the offence. The statutory multipliers at article 393(4) to (6) turn it into the significant, large and especially large bands.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota. A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for tramadol is the printed annex line «Տրամադոլ», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-86. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry is the important one here too, because this is a routine analgesic in many countries and its annex placement is what a traveller will not have anticipated.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing tramadol, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the printed annex line «Տրամադոլ», record ARM-86, Chemical Abstracts number 27203-92-5. It was read on 20 September 2026 against the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The paperwork matters here for the same reason, because this is an ordinary analgesic abroad and an annex entry in Armenia.

Xanax (Alprazolam)

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Ալպրազոլամ», and record ARM-16 matches it to alprazolam on Chemical Abstracts number 28981-97-7. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «alprazolam», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. This is one of the six benzodiazepine members the annex names individually, and it is the entry the deferred benzodiazepines row of the same dossier inspected and then set aside.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has abolished the death penalty and Article 393 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia provides no life sentence for a drug offence, so the real exposure is a term of years. The ceiling is 12 years' imprisonment under Article 393(3), and Article 393(4) to (6) measures the significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, so the band rather than the raw weight is what the article prices. The placement is the printed annex line «Ալպրազոլամ», record ARM-16. Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance beneath that placement. This pass carries no printed small amount figure for it, so the number those bands multiply is not stated here and no band can be computed from this cell. The class row defers while this member does not, and it is this printed line that makes the class row a finding rather than a deferral.

The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry should be put for this member by name rather than for the class, since the annex answers the member and is silent on the class word.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing alprazolam, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border.

Xylazine

Legal status: Governed in Armenia through veterinary medicines legislation rather than through the narcotics annex, and the cell is a finding about which body of law applies rather than a settled finding that the annex is silent. Record ARM-87 names that regime and describes the control as xylazine veterinary-medicine controls, which is the positive half and it stands. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, was also searched for this row and returned no accepted entry, and that is the negative half, which does not stand on its own. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The limit of this record has to be on the face of it. The terms this row was searched under were «xylazine», all of them Latin script. Not one of the 186 search terms logged across the eighty eight rows of this dossier carries a single Armenian letter, while 39 of the 41 entries the same dossier accepts elsewhere are printed in Armenian script. A Latin search of an Armenian list returns nothing whether or not the substance is on it. So this record states what the logged search could reach, and it does not establish that the annex is silent about anything searched for that way.

Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has abolished the death penalty and Article 393 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Armenia provides no life sentence for a drug offence, so the real exposure is a term of years. The 12 year ceiling under Article 393(3) would not be engaged if that absence holds, because the logged search returned no annex entry for xylazine and record ARM-87 names veterinary medicines legislation as the governing regime instead. Whatever control exists sits in that regime and carries that regime's own penalties, which this pass did not read. A veterinary sedative outside the narcotics annex is a veterinary medicines matter, and the adulteration problem it causes elsewhere is not a scheduling fact here.
If prescribed / medical: Armenia states no lawful personal use allowance for a scheduled substance, and Article 393(4) to (6) measures its significant, large and especially large bands from the minimum small amount figure the Government sets, which is a criminal threshold and never a traveller quota.

Zolpidem

Legal status: Controlled in Armenia. The annex to Government Decision N 1129-Ն of 21 August 2003, at controlled lists 1 to 4, prints the entry «Զոլպիդեմ», and record ARM-88 matches it to zolpidem on Chemical Abstracts number 82626-48-0. The row relied on is that printed line and not point 1 of the decision, which only directs that the list be approved and names no substance. The version read was the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The terms this row was searched under were «zolpidem», all of them Latin script, and the line they reached is printed in Armenian script, so the logged term set does not by itself explain how the line was found and the search record is incomplete. That does not weaken the finding, because the finding rests on the printed entry and its registry number rather than on the search that reached them. The 2 term set recorded for this row collapses to 1 string once case is ignored, so the breadth it appears to claim is not breadth. The annex prints the hypnotic under its own Armenian name, and this is the last record in the dossier's sequence, which is how the set closes at eighty eight.
Consequences if caught: Capital exposure: none. Armenia has no death penalty and no life sentence for a drug offence. The entry relied on for zolpidem is «Զոլպիդեմ». The ceiling is 12 years. Criminal Code article 393(3) provides a term of six to twelve years, and articles 393 and 396 carry the principal offences. That 12 year ceiling is the lowest of any country authored in this session, and it is the figure the article itself prints rather than a reading of a range.

A scheduled medicine must in addition satisfy the law on medicines, «Դեղերի մասին» Հայաստանի Հանրապետության օրենք, together with the prescription, packaging, import and customs rules that law carries. That is the country rule, and the placement it attaches to for zolpidem is the printed annex line «Զոլպիդեմ», at controlled lists 1 to 4, record ARM-88. The dossier read for Armenia states no separate traveller allowance, no personal import quota and no per substance medical route, so none is stated here and anything beyond the country rule is left to the Armenian Ministry of Health. The enquiry should ask what a short course hypnotic prescription needs at the border, because the annex line carries no quantity or course limb of its own.
Documentation: Carry the prescription and the original dispensing packaging for any medicine containing zolpidem, with a doctor's letter naming the patient, the active ingredient, the dose and the treatment period, and put the question to the Armenian Ministry of Health or the nearest Armenian embassy in writing before travelling rather than at the border. The placement carried against is the printed annex line «Զոլպիդեմ», record ARM-88, Chemical Abstracts number 82626-48-0. It was read on 20 September 2026 against the current incorporation of N 1129-Ն read together with amendment N 334-Ն of 26 March 2026, which took effect on 27 March 2026. The paperwork should show the course length, because the annex line sets no course limb and a large pack is what draws a question.
