establishment of the UN Office in Armenia to present day, due to the
combined efforts of many agencies of the UN family, we can humbly
point out that the UN had its tangible input in the advancement of the
country and, certainly, is going to have in the coming future. The
areas of application of our efforts through diverse programs are
pretty much broad, encompassing mostly those in need. Nevertheless,
we can express in one word the resolute objective for the entire UN
system activities in Armenia - people, with particular focus on the
vulnerable segments of the population."
Other partners, also spoke about the important role the UN has
in supporting the country's efforts to advance sustainable human
development and achieve the nationalized Millennium Development Goals.

the UN entered into force. The UN Office in Armenia was opened in
December 1992, after Armenia became a member of the United Nations
in March 1992.
