YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 7, ARMENPRESS. The Armenian government on Thursday approved the acquisition of a 5-storey building in London to relocate its embassy there.

Since 1992, the Armenian embassy in London has been located in a building provided by Armenian House (Hye Doon), where it occupies only two rooms, which “has constantly significantly limited the working capacity of the embassy.” Furthermore, the Armenian House has notified the embassy that it needs to vacate the building in 2024.

The new building, which is located at 31 A St James's Square, will provide “proper representation and increase of political ranking,” according to the bill on buying the real estate.

The Armenian government will spend £17,4 million to buy the building.
