Acting Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan today attended the inauguration of a new building of the Consulate General of the Republic of Armenia in St. Petersburg. 

The consulate building, built in 1912, covers 320 square meters and has been provided free to the Armenian consulate for 49 years. The new building has been completely renovated thanks to the resources of the Armenian community. 

Pashinyan congratulated those present on the opening of a new consulate building and expressed confidence that this will contribute to improving the services provided to the Armenian community and the effective work of the consulate. 

"The Armenian people have warm feelings towards the Russian Federation and such events are strengthening our relations, I hope that new Armenian offices will be opened in Russia, and Russian investments in our country will continue to grow," Nikol Pashinyan said, according to an Armenian government press release.
