History
The first Armenians to arrive to Uruguay took place in the late 1800s.
On 26 December 1991, Armenia regained independence after the Dissolution of the Soviet Union. On 27 May 1992, Armenia and Uruguay established diplomatic relations.[4] In June 1992, Armenian President Levon Ter-Petrosyan paid an official visit to Uruguay.[4] In February 1997, Uruguay opened an honorary consulate in Yerevan.
