U.S. diplomats opened a new American Embassy in the Armenian capital
Yerevan on Friday, moving into a bigger building outside the city
center.
Armenian President Robert Kocharian attended the opening ceremony at
the sprawling new building on the road leading from the city to the
main airport in the Caucasus Mountain nation, a former Soviet republic.
The second-ranking U.S. diplomat in Armenia, Anthony Godfrey, said
the building cost US$76 million (Aâ~B¬59 million).
Armenia has close ties with Russia but is also linked with United
States, home to a large ethnic Armenian community.
