As a permanent diplomatic mission, the Armenian Embassy in Moscow is engaged in the whole range of issues of bilateral cooperation with Russia. Over a quarter of a century since gaining sovereignty, the Transcaucasian republic and Russia have established relations that can safely be called strategic.
The basis of bilateral relations
The fundamental documents determining the order of interaction between the two states are the Treaty of Friendship and Cooperation, as well as special treaties that regulate in some detail the procedure for the location of Russian military facilities in Armenia.
The activities of the Armenian Embassy in Moscow are very important not only because of close relations, but also because of the very tense situation in the Caucasus region that arises around several unresolved territorial disputes and the Karabakh crisis.
Military-technical cooperation
One of the key posts at the Armenian Embassy in Moscow is the post of military attache. This happened because of the very active military cooperation between the two countries. Besides the fact that Armenia and Russia are members of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, the 102nd military base of the Russian Armed Forces is also located on the territory of the Armenian Republic.
This military facility not only contributes to the protection of the Armenian territory itself, but also ensures the security of the southern borders of the Collective Security Treaty Organization, the CIS and Russia itself from the threats emanating from the unstable territories of the Middle East.
In this light, there is nothing surprising in the importance attached to the personality of the Armenian ambassador to Russia. Indeed, it is this person who will determine the way the Armenian Embassy in Moscow interacts with local elites and convey the leadership position to the Russian authorities.
The exact address of the Armenian Embassy in Moscow
The Embassy of the Republic of Armenia occupies a historic mansion in the center of Moscow. It is noteworthy that before it was occupied by a diplomatic mission, the Lazarevsky Institute of Oriental Languages was located in it. Initially, the Institute was engaged in the education of Armenian children, but later repeatedly changed its status and name until it became part of the Moscow Institute of Oriental Studies.
The embassy is located in Armenian Lane, 2. Reception of citizens in the mission is from Monday to Friday from 8.00 to 12.00. In the consular section of the embassy, they are engaged in registration of marriages, legalization of documents and provision of advice to Armenian citizens who find themselves in a difficult situation.
