The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia (MFA) (Armenian: Հայաստանի արտաքին գործերի նախարարություն, romanized: Hayastani artak’in gortseri nakhararut’yun) is a state body of executive power, which elaborates and implements the foreign policy of the Government of Armenia and organizes and manages diplomatic services.

[1] The Ministry of Foreign Affairs coordinates the activities of the executive power bodies of the Republic in the international arena.

Armenia established diplomatic relations with Germany, Austria-Hungary, Bulgaria, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Iran, and other countries.

In the final years of the Second World War, the Soviet leadership decided to expand the foreign policy functions of the Union republics.

The structure of the Ministry and the quantity of staff were brought in line with the requirements of the foreign policy of an independent state.

Since 1996, the MFA of Armenia has been located at the Republic Square in Government House #2 (which was built in 1955 by architect Samvel Safarian).

Since independence, Armenia has opened embassies and consulates in many countries, while permanent missions have been established to a number of international organizations.
