Armenia is of strategic importance – Dutch MFA on opening Embassy in Yerevan
The justification of opening an Embassy of the Netherlands to Armenia has been published at the website of the Dutch foreign ministry, Armenia’s Ambassador to the Netherlands Tigran Balayan said on Facebook.
“Armenia is sandwiched between Russia, Turkey and Iran and is therefore of strategic importance. Since the so-called “velvet revolution” in April 2018, the new government has been modernizing the country and fighting corruption. The Netherlands can support this process. Armenia is currently the only country in that region where the Netherlands has no embassy. The House of Representatives also wants an embassy in Yerevan”, stated in the justification.
