About Embassy of Armenia to the United States of America
Since opening its doors in March 1992, the Embassy of Armenia in Washington, DC has served as a vital bridge connecting Armenia and the Armenian diaspora to the United States. The embassy recognizes the deep historical roots of Armenian immigration to America, beginning with Martin the Armenian's arrival in Jamestown in 1618 and expanding significantly following the Armenian Genocide when survivors sought refuge across the nation. Today, the embassy honors this legacy by serving the substantial Armenian community across the United States—estimated between 500,000 to 2,000,000 individuals—many of whom maintain strong cultural and familial ties to their homeland. The embassy's mission extends beyond traditional diplomatic functions to embrace the Armenian community's needs and aspirations, offering support through consular services, dual citizenship programs, and electronic visa options. By engaging with the Armenian diaspora, the embassy strengthens cultural preservation and promotes mutual understanding between Armenia and America. The embassy also facilitates opportunities for Armenian citizens to study and invest in Armenia, while supporting those seeking to maintain citizenship connections. Located in Washington, DC, the embassy stands as a symbol of Armenia's commitment to its citizens worldwide and serves as a gathering point for community initiatives, cultural awareness, and historical remembrance. Through its work, the embassy demonstrates Armenia's dedication to fostering lasting relationships with both the U.S. government and the vibrant Armenian communities established throughout the country.
