/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Agreement was reached to prolong terms of rent contract for the building of the Armenian Embassy in Ukraine during the meeting between the mayor of Kiev Leonid Chernovetsky and the Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Armenia to Ukraine Armen Khachatryan.

As "Erkramas, the newspaper of Armenians of Russia reports, the mayor of Kiev Leonid Chernovetsky said that he would help to solve urgent problems of the Armenian Embassy.

Officials also discussed the issue of allocation of the land lot to construct the Armenian Church.

”Today we have only a small chapel, which can simultaneously provide services to only 10 people, while there are about 30 thousand Armenians living in Kiev. You can just imagine what happens in the chapel on Sundays”, Archbishop Grigoris Buniatyan, head of the Ukrainian Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church said.

Kiev mayor promised the Armenian Ambassador to discuss at the forthcoming meetings of the City Hall the issue of allocation of the land lot in the Armenian Street (Kharkov district) for the construction of the Armenian Church.

Almost 100 000 Armenians in Ukraine. However, they seem passive in my eyes despite their mass and historic presence.

I know Ukraine very well and the ethnic Ukrainians are very xenophobic and many Armenians use Slavic names in everyday business. The Russians are much nicer and better behaved.
