- The Armenia–Ethiopia relations are bilateral relations between Armenia and Ethiopia. Historically, Ethiopia and Armenia had strong sectarian diplomatic relations in linkage of Orthodox Churches: the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and Armenian Apostolic Church, which are both part of Oriental Orthodoxy. Both had exchanged number of monks and priests for more than centuries. In the Middle Ages, contact between the two churches marked historical apogee, such as the Ethiopian religious leader Ewostatewos, who made a journey to Armenia in 1339 and died in Armenia. Armenians continued to grow in number, influenced the diplomacy and judicial position of the Ethiopian Empire. Armenians also remained largely traders, businesspeople and artisans until 1875. Armenian genocide in World War I left many Armenians to migrate in Ethiopia, and by 1935, Armenians constituted the largest foreign ethnic groups behind the Greeks and Indians, with total population of 2,800. This had been affected by the Ethiopian Revolution and the power seizure of the Derg since 1974, reduced into 120. Today, Armenians left contribute for settlements in Addis Ababa; they broadly live in a place called Armenian Sefer, and noted for Armenian architecture in that area. They established modern diplomatic relationship on 2 December 1993. In 2019, the two countries' incumbent ambassadors were (Armenia) and Alemayehu Tegenu (Ethiopia). (en)
