Armenian Foreign Ministry to move to new building

A number of Armenian government institutions including Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Ministry of Energy and Natural Resources, as well as Ministry of Territorial Administration will be moved to a new building located at Zakyan 2/1, Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan said.

Armenian government earlier instructed Yerevan city administration to develop a package of demolition and constructing a new building at the location of the burnt one, where Justice Ministry was once situated.

Deputy Foreign Minister of Armenia Shavarsh Kocharyan also commented on the government’s decision, noting that it is conditioned by the fact that the current building is small for all the employees.
