The 4th Army Corps (Armenian: 4-րդ բանակային կորպուս) is a regional military formation the Armenian Army, located in the capital of the Vayots Dzor Province.[1]

The corps was founded in July 1997.[2] By decree of President Robert Kocharyan on 23 January 2002, the army corps was given a battle flag. In recent years, it has been focused on repelling any type of attack from the Azerbaijani Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, and specifically the Nakhchivan Garrison.[3][4][5] There have been speculation that alongside the United Group of Forces, the 4th Corps could be integrated into Russia’s Southern Military District.[6]
