The earliest contact documented to date, between Armenians and the Bábi-Bahá í religion began on an unfortunate note in the banishments and execution of the Báb, the Founder of the Bábí Faith, viewed by Bahá'ís as a precursor religion, but ended courageously to the credit of the Armenian officer.

The earliest contact documented to date, between Armenians and the Bábi-Bahá í religion began on an unfortunate note in the banishments and execution of the Báb, the Founder of the Bábí Faith, viewed by Bahá'ís as a precursor religion, but ended courageously to the credit of the Armenian officer. In that same year the teachings of the new religion were taken to Armenia. More research is necessary to determine the details. Decades later, during the time of Soviet repression of religion, Bahá ís in Armenia were isolated from Bahá ís elsewhere. Eventually, by 1963, Bahá í communities had been identified in Yerevan and Artez and communication re-established. Later, in the time of Perestroika, when increasing freedoms were allowed, there were enough Bahá ís in some cities that Bahá'í Local Spiritual Assemblies could be formed in those Bahá í communities in 1991. Armenian Bahá ís were able to elect their own National Spiritual Assembly in 1995. In such a situation, where religious observance had been a criminal activity, a religious census is problematic. Operation World, published in 2001, approximated the number of Bahá ís in Armenia at 1400.
