Today, the Armenian government adopted a decision to allocate AMD

in Sweden.

Armenia established diplomatic relations with Sweden in 1992.

Armenian-Swedish relations have become more intensive in the past 7-8
years. Parliamentary friendship groups operate in Armenia and Sweden.

Armenian and Swedish parliamentarians last met during the
Sweden-Armenia parliamentary friendship group’s visit to Armenia
in 2011.

Sweden is the only Scandinavian country whose parliament has recognized
the Armenian Genocide (2010).
