It doesn't exist.
I've looked. Forums, Usenet, mailing lists, both for gamers and for Armenia. There's nothing online. I salted the local English-language university with flyers. No response.
Next step, I suppose, would be to hit the internet cafes where the fantic video gamers stay up all night. "Hey, there are other ways to kill orcs!" But that's a tactic of desperation. Really, I think there's nothing here.
Long-time readers of this blog may recall that I found D&D gamers in Serbia and Romania. Heck, there were more gamers in Bucharest than I could easily deal with. I could have quit my job and gamed sixty hours a week. I mean, um, in theory.
Anyway, no Dungeons and Dragons in Armenia. I am mildly surprised by how much I miss it.
About all I can do at this point is a post like this, which emphasizes Dungeons and Dragons in the country of Armenia. Because while Armenia has no Dungeons and Dragons now, there's always a small possibility that some person may be googling, looking for Dungeons and Dragons players right here in, yes, Armenia. And we'd all hate for that person to go away sad, right?
Right.

They're probably all playing GURPS. (G D & R)

Look, get yourself posted to Bermuda - God knows it needs a modern commercial code - and I'll find you some players. I always liked assassins but will play a cleric if necessary.

If so, you might want to find a copy of Neverwinter Nights (Platinum Edition, preferably) and go hunting for persistent realms. I know it's not the same as the face to face thing, but it's a game of AD&D played against people, not a brain-dead AI.
Any help?
