Lowering the Colors at the U.S. Embassy on Bagrahmian Avenue

Thursday, April 28, at 5:30, the U.S. Embassy on Baghramian Avenue lowered
its flag for the last time. A short ceremony was held to say good-bye to the
building that has been home to the U.S. Mission in Armenian since it was
established in 1992. After hearing from colleagues who were there when the
first Ambassador arrived and the first U.S. flag was flown, the colors were
lowered and Ambassador Evans left the Embassy for the last time.
