Armenia is a poor country, so it's no suprise that the country's road network is potholed quite a bit, with repaired and re-repaired patches, and tar snakes galore. Mainly uneven and rutted, but there is surprising good stretches here and there.
In the cities and townships watch out for the manholes in the middle of the road .. often with no manhole covers on them!
I chose the eastern bank option (M14) along Lake Sevan. It was very hard work, especially 2-up; although (@ Lonely Lynx) as you're in Yerevan already, I guess you have no need to go anywhere near Lake Sevan.
Incidentally the scenery from the border crossing – Agarak (Armenia) / Norduz (Iran) - down to Tabriz is absolutely sensational.
