The Armenian Embassy was officially opened in Uruguay today in the presence of the Foreign Ministers of the two countries Ararat Mirzoyan and Omar Paganini.
The Armenian flag was raised by the Foreign Minister, after which the national anthems of Armenia and Uruguay were played.
The event was attended by a number of other high-ranking officials, including acting Vice-President of Uruguay, acting President of the General Assembly and the House of Senators Graciela Bianchi Poli, President of the House of Representatives Ana Olivera, heads of diplomatic missions accredited in Montevideo, public and political figures.
“It is a great happiness and a great honor for me to welcome you today in Uruguay, in Montevideo, already officially in this small territory of the Republic of Armenia. It is a greater honor and happiness for me to raise the flag of my country, the Republic of Armenia, and, in fact, to give an official start to the opening of the resident Embassy of the Republic of Armenia in the Oriental Republic of Uruguay,” Minister Mirzoyan said in his opening remarks.
Minister Mirzoyan said the two countries have managed to develop warm, friendly, allied relations and build a very high-level political dialogue since the establishment of diplomatic relations in 1992. At the same time, he noted that there is a clear understanding within the leadership of the two countries that it is time to deepen these relations, this partnership, to build economic relations, cultural ties, and promote people-to-people ties on this basis. He added that an important link – resident Embassies in the two capitals – was missing.
“And today we can proudly note that this gap has been filled. The resident Embassy of the Oriental Republic of Uruguay operates in Yerevan and the flag of Uruguay flies, and the resident Embassy of the Republic of Armenia operates in Montevideo and the state flag of the Republic of Armenia flies,” he said.
Minister Mirzoyan emphasized that the relations between the two countries are based on long-term historical warm ties between the two peoples. “More than a hundred years ago, Uruguay gave shelter to Armenians who fled the Armenian Genocide for which we truly express our gratitude. At the same time, we see that Armenians and their descendants have had all the opportunities to develop and now represent an important, loyal and prosperous part of Uruguayan society,” Ararat Mirzoyan said.
He conveyed greetings to the Armenian community in Uruguay and expressed gratitude to them for being a bridge between the two states.
Georgia and the EU
On the first day of the EU summit in Brussels, on March 21, participants made a statement. They asked Georgia to implement important reforms. These reforms are necessary for the country’s integration into the European Union. They also promised to continue supporting Georgia amid Russian actions undermining its territorial integrity.
However, this statement prompted a sharp comment from the Georgian parliament speaker. Shalva Papuashvili stated, “The European Union is unjustly oppressing Georgia. In reality, nothing is preventing the start of negotiations for the country’s entry into the EU.”
Negotiations for EU entry have started for Ukraine, Moldova, and Bosnia and Herzegovina. But not for Georgia
“The European Council notes Georgia’s ongoing efforts and calls on the country to continue with the unresolved priority reforms,” states section 32 of the joint statement.
Section 14 says, “The European Union will continue to support Georgia in strengthening its stability. It will help in solving problems resulting from Russia’s actions to undermine Georgia’s territorial integrity and due to Russia’s aggressive war against Ukraine.”
In the same statement, it’s confirmed that the European Union supports the official start of negotiations for Moldova, Ukraine, and Bosnia and Herzegovina to join.
“In terms of reforms, Georgia is already ahead of both Ukraine and Moldova. The EU is showing disregard towards Georgia”
“The European Commission will assess Georgia’s progress towards European integration this autumn. We were given nine recommendations to fulfill for this. But even without these nine steps, Georgia is already ahead of Bosnia, Ukraine, and Moldova,” said the parliament speaker to journalists.
“Nothing is stopping the European Union from starting negotiations with Georgia right now. In fact, they should have started these negotiations back in December 2023, when they began with Moldova and Ukraine.
Georgia was oppressed in December and continues to be oppressed now. The Georgian people see this. Everyone knows Georgia’s achievements in terms of institutional development, European Union integration, anti-corruption efforts, and judicial matters. How do these compare to Ukraine, Moldova, Bosnia, and Herzegovina?
Unfortunately, Georgia continues to see unfair treatment towards it,” said Shalva Papuashvili.

On December 5, 2023, the European Council decided to start entry negotiations with Ukraine and Moldova. They also granted Georgia the status of a candidate.
Before this, the European Council’s General Secretariat released a statement about intending to expand the EU. The Council asked Georgia to show strong commitment to EU values. They wanted Georgia to keep making progress in their reform program and meet the conditions set by the Commission.
Specifically, the Council stressed that Georgia must fully respect human rights. This includes freedom of the media and diversity, freedom of opinion, assembly, and expression. Georgia must also protect the LGBT community from intimidation, violence, and discrimination.
On December 26, the Georgian government published an action plan. This plan outlines steps to follow the “nine steps” set by the European Commission. It lists the activities to be carried out, deadlines, and the responsible departments.
The plan was approved by the government’s commission on European integration on November 27, 2023. All its points need to be completed by the end of 2024.
