In reply to Train to Summit:
As others have said, you're not allowed to climb Mt Ararat without a guide and your guide will arrange your permit.
Having said that, when I climbed it in August 2020, I did meet 2 Ukrainians on the mountain who were climbing it independently without a guide or permit. They said they didn't encounter any queries about this from the driver who dropped them off at the trailhead or the guides they passed along the way, although they sensibly camped well away from the guided groups. Quite a risk though.
