Armenia is one of the most democratic countries in the world, and to encourage that democracy, Canada will open an embassy in Armenia next year. Gevorg Papoyan, a member of the ruling majority "Civil Contract" Faction in the National Assembly (NA) of Armenia, told this to reporters in the NA Friday.

"The only reason for this is not that something has changed in Canada's foreign policy. Canada opens an embassy in countries like Armenia only on special occasions. Canada is opening an embassy taking into account the situation that Armenia is one of the most democratic countries in the region and in the world; and this is also expressed by international indicators, with absolute freedom of speech. Democracy is the brand of Armenia today," added the lawmaker of Armenia’s ruling force.
