The Ambassador
Amb. Dr. Varuzhan Nersesyan

He has served in Washington, including as Armenia's Ambassador to the United States from 2018 to 2021, and previously held senior posts dealing with arms control, the OSCE and relations with the United States.

History
Armenia’s diplomatic footprint in the United Kingdom has undergone a massive modernization, anchored by the historic acquisition of its flagship, five-storey diplomatic headquarters at St. James's Square in the heart of London.
The Embassy of Armenia in London serves as the primary engine for executing the Armenia-UK Strategic Partnership, which drives deepening political, security, and institutional synchronization between Yerevan and Whitehall. Historically, the mission's core mandate focuses heavily on garnering British support for Armenia's democratic resilience, strengthening bilateral military and defense cooperation, and diversifying economic networks. Under Ambassador Nersesyan’s heavyweight leadership, the embassy actively drives economic statecraft—highlighted by the launch of direct commercial flights between London and Yerevan—while elevating international awareness around regional stability in the South Caucasus. Furthermore, the mission acts as a vibrant cultural conduit, organizing high-profile parliamentary events, climate action collaborations, and elite artistic initiatives that connect the expanding British-Armenian community with the homeland.
