ArmInfo.Armenia and Kazakhstan have agreed to allocate land in their respective capitals for the construction of embassies on a reciprocal basis. During an extraordinary session on July 1, the Standing Committee on Foreign Relations of the National Assembly of Armenia issued a favorable opinion on the draft agreement submitted by the government for ratification.
Presenting the document, Deputy Foreign Minister of the Republic of Armenia Mnatsakan Safaryan noted that the agreement was signed on November 21, 2025. According to the document, the Armenian side will grant the Kazakh side the use of a 0.33-hectare land plot in Yerevan, free of existing buildings and transit infrastructure, for a 49-year term. The construction of the embassy will be financed by the Kazakh side, with an annual land rent set at one dram.
In turn, the Kazakh side provide the Armenian side with a 0.33-hectare plot in Astana, located on Arganaty Street, for a 49-year term. This site is designated for the construction of the Armenian Embassy, with costs to be borne by the Armenian side. The annual land rent for this site will be one tenge.
The Deputy Minister emphasized that the agreement is intended to deepen bilateral political dialogue and practical cooperation, while enhancing the effectiveness of diplomatic missions. It ensures reciprocity, equal conditions, and a harmonized regulatory framework, clearly defining the rights and obligations of both parties regarding the use of the land. Ratification is expected to expand the diplomatic presence between the two nations and facilitate more favorable operating conditions for their respective missions.
It should be noted that earlier, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan stated during parliamentary budget hearings that no funds were allocated in the 2025 state budget for the construction of the Armenian Embassy in Astana, and funding for 2027 remains uncertain. Preliminary estimates suggest that the construction of the new embassy building in Astana will cost the Armenian state approximately $1.5 million.
