The state budget of 2008 allocates 200 million drams for new embassy
buildings every year. The deputy minister of foreign affairs Gegham
Gharibjanyan said during the discussion of the state budget at the
National Assembly the annual assignment allows buying at least two
buildings for Armenian embassies every year. This year a building
was bought in Bulgaria, in 2008 a building will be bought for the
embassy to Ukraine in Kiev.
Gharibjanyan also said Armenia has bought 12 buildings for embassies,
of which 7 were bought by the Armenian government, the rest were bought
on donations of Armenian communities abroad. Armenian embassies to
13 countries do not have their own buildings yet.
