Political Relations
Greece has provided development and humanitarian assistance to Armenia in cooperation with international organisations such as the FAO, and has supported Armenia's rapprochement with European institutions. Since Armenia's declaration of independence, the two countries have been cooperating within the framework of various international organisations (UN, OSCE, CoE, CSCE, etc.).
The excellent bilateral relations are also reflected in the frequent high-level bilateral contacts. On 5-6 November 2019, the President of the Republic at the time, Mr. P. Pavlopoulos, paid an official visit to Yerevan at the invitation of his Armenian counterpart, Mr. Armen Sarkissian.
In 2020 and 2022, the Foreign Minister at the time, Mr. N. Dendias, visited Yerevan, while the Armenian Foreign Minister, Mr. Ararat Mirzoyan, reciprocated with a visit to Athens in 2022.
Prime Minister K. Mitsotakis met with Armenian Prime Minister N. Pashinyan on the sidelines of the European Political Community Summits in Prague on 6.10.2023 and in Granada on 5.10.2023.
Foreign Minister Gerapetritis met his Armenian counterpart Mr.Mirzoyan in New York on the sidelines of the 78th UN General Assembly in September 2023.
Greek Community
In Armenia, there are about 900 expatriates, officially recognised as a minority, while more than 30,000 people of the Armenian diaspora live in Greece.
Economic Relations
The 5th Greece-Armenia Joint Interministerial Committee was held in Athens (3-4 March 2016).

Educational-Cultural relations
Due to the long-standing cultural influence of Greece (Armenians used the Greek alphabet until the 5th century AD), Armenian interest in Greek culture is intense. A bilateral cultural agreement has been in force since 1997, with a renewed executive programme of cultural cooperation. Greek is taught as a second foreign language at the University of Yerevan and the Linguistic University of Brasov.Useful Information
