The corps was founded in July 1997. 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. There have been speculation that alongside the United Group of Forces, the 4th Corps could be integrated into Russia’s Southern Military District.
