NB: Homenetmen (also known as AOSS) Yerevan changed name to Pyunik after the
1995 season and won two championships under that name; the club changed
name to Kilikia before the 1999 season, played two seasons under that name
and withdrew from the 2001 championship; before that championship, Armenikum
Yerevan, promoted in 2000, changed name to Pyunik and won the title as such.
These two Pyunik incarnations are numbered [I] and [II] above, respectively.
Meanwhile Kilikia reappeared, were promoted to the top level in 2003 and
dissolved after the 2010 season.
It should be noted that the Armenian FA considers both Pyuniks as one
and the same club.
