Armenia–Greece relations
Bilateral relations exist between Armenia and Greece. Due to the strong political, cultural and religious ties between the two nations (the vast majority of Armenians and Greeks practice Eastern Christianity), Armenia and Greece today enjoy excellent diplomatic relations. They have always been strong both emotionally and historically due to religious and cultural roots and co-existence during the Byzantine period and under the Ottoman Empire.
