UK in Armenia

We work to promote and support Armenia's reform programme and to contribute to the peaceful resolution of conflicts in the region. This website provides information about Britain's relations with Armenia and our work here. You will find information on the visa, consular and other services we provide. There are links to other organisations which may be of interest. And it gives details of how to contact us and to seek further information if you need it.

Notice to British Community – Opposition Rally

The opposition Armenian National Congress has stated that they plan to hold a rally to mark the release of prisoners under the recent amnesty, followed by a march through the city centre, on Thursday 3 July at 7.30pm at the Matenadaran manuscript library, at the north end of Mashtots Avenue.
The city authorities have given official permission for the rally but not for the march after the rally.
There continue to be small opposition gatherings on a regular basis at the north end of Northern Avenue, central Yerevan. These gatherings often experience tensions with the police. We expect these to continue.
In the context of ongoing political tension, we advise British citizens to avoid the area of known demonstrations, large gatherings of people and other locations where demonstrations may take place. If it is necessary to be in the vicinity of a demonstration or gathering, we urge you to exercise vigilance and caution at all times. Demonstrations or gatherings can attract large numbers, and even if intended to be peaceful could turn confrontational.
We will continue to monitor the situation and will issue updates to the British community as necessary.

We advise all British citizens travelling in or living in Armenia to register with the FCO via the Locate online registration service at www.locate.fco.gov.uk. We would be grateful for any assistance registered British citizens could provide in making other Britons aware of the Locate service if they have not also registered.
