Both countries are members of the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation, the European Political Community, and the Council of Europe.

In October 2007, the President of Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan, received a delegation headed by the Romanian Minister of National Defense, Teodor Meleșcanu, and noted that the Armenian-Romanian friendship was deeply rooted in history.

He also noted that it was not by accident that Romania was the first country to formally recognize the independence of Armenia from the USSR.

Băsescu said Armenia was complicating Turkey's integration into the European Union by continuously raising the issue in the international community.

In 2016, Cătălin Avramescu, advisor to the then ex-president Băsescu, said "Romania has special duty to recognize Armenian Genocide";[3] while the Romanian-Armenian politician Varujan Vosganian, who is president of the Union of Armenians of Romania, called on the Romanian Parliament in 2019 to do the same.
