The U.S. Embassy has proudly stood alongside Armenia as a partner and friend since those early days. With this historic photo featuring the first U.S. Ambassador to Armenia with the first President of Armenia we are starting to post a series of historic photos and facts highlighting all aspects of the U.S. – Armenia partnership including diplomatic relations, economic ties, military cooperation, culture, education, sport and more!
