This concerns a special purpose land area provided to the Ministry of Defense by the head of the Armash community in Ararat province based on decisions made in 2005. The unit had the status of a military base, specifically for the "Yerasx 1" and "Yerasx 2" units. The case concerning "Yerasx 1" is still in the judicial phase.

According to the decision, the headquarters building located at the address Yerevanyan Highway 1/4g Yerasx-2 in the Armash village of the Ararat community, with a total area of 212.7 square meters, a building with an area of 34.2 square meters, a dining hall of 110.7 square meters, a storage facility of 43.9 square meters, a sanitary room of 32.4 square meters, a shower room of 80.6 square meters, another shower room of 479.2 square meters, and a perimeter fence of 90.4 square meters (with a volume of 135.6 cubic meters), along with the 0.9 hectares of special purpose land required for their occupation, utilization, and maintenance, must be strengthened to the State Property Management Committee of the Ministry of Territorial Administration and Infrastructures.
