Dear Sir/Madame,
I noticed that you changed the Ambassador's name, but just to remind you that it is still wrong, H.E. Mr. Vasili Ghazarian is no longer the Ambassador since 2007.
Another point, I think the address is wrong also, they were located to a new location in mid 2008, so maybe it's best to contact the Armenian Embassy to China and get the proper information to update the info.
Thank you and best regards
Gullekian Dikran
