Largest US embassy in world is being built in Armenia
The US embassy in Armenia will be the largest in the world. As a
Rosbalt correspondent reports, this was announced yesterday by US
Ambassador to Armenia John Ordway. He said the US embassy, which is currently under construction in the
suburbs of Yerevan, will take up 9 hectares of land. The embassy will
also have its own energy and water supply. The ambassador explained
that there are many people working on various projects in Armenia and
this is the reason for building such a large embassy. According to Mr Ordway, the embassy will be built by spring 2005.
About 600 Armenians and 65 Turks are currently working on the
building’s construction. The present embassy will be sold as soon as
the new building is complete.
