Location
Since 1993, the Permanent Mission of Armenia to the United Nations is housed at 119 East 36th Street in Manhattan, New York. In 1993, the building was presented as a gift to the Government of Armenia by Kevork and Sirvart Hovnanian, members of the prominent Hovnanian family known as much for their construction business as their philanthropy in Armenia and the Diaspora. The property became the first to be owned by Armenia abroad. See also
