Armenia and Japan established diplomatic relations on September 7, 1992.
Armenia's President Robert Kocharyan paid an official visit to Japan on December 2001, holding meetings with Japan's Emperor and Prime Minister. He announced that the nation was planning to set up an embassy in Tokyo as soon as possible.[1] Armenia opened its Embassy in Tokyo on July 7, 2010. Japan has an embassy in Yerevan.
Armenian Genocide recognition
Although Armenia and Japan share a good relationship, however, due to the similarity between Japan and Turkey about war crimes in two World Wars (whereas both are on opposing sides, with the latter killing more people), Japan doesn't recognize the Armenian Genocide nor does it side with Turkey on the issue.
