Armenia’s embassy once stood in heart of Baku
Once both sides have fulfilled all the agreements and signed a comprehensive peace treaty, Azerbaijan and Armenia could be expected to open embassies in each other’s countries in the near future.
Armenia once had an embassy right in the heart of Baku. This was during the era of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic (ADR) from 1918 to 1920.
The diplomatic mission of Armenia (then the First Republic of Armenia) in Azerbaijan was located in the very center of its capital city, at 5 Telefonnaya Street. The diplomatic representative at that time was G. A. Bekzadyan.
At different times, this street was also known as Romanovsky Avenue, 28 April Street, and William Lindley Street.
The current address of this architectural building is 28 May Street, 5, Nasimi district, Baku (at the intersection with Rashid Behbudov Street, near Secondary School No. 23).
The building is an architectural monument, constructed between 1895 and 1898 based on the design of Johann Wilhelm Edel (after baptism, Ivan Vasilyevich Edel), a German architect and a state councilor born in the Russian Empire.
