Travel Summary

• The border between Armenia and Azerbaijan is closed and we advise against all but essential travel near the border with Azerbaijan due to the unresolved dispute over Nagorno Karabakh. This particularly covers the border areas of Tavush and Gegharkunik regions, where there has been sporadic gunfire. In Tavush Marz we specifically advise against travel on the road from Ijevan to Noyemberyan, which passes close to the border and military emplacements, and on the roads beyond Berd.
  
  
• The British Embassy cannot provide consular assistance to you if you are in the Nagorno-Karabakh region.
  
  
• There is a low threat from terrorism. But you should be aware of the global risk of indiscriminate terrorist attacks, which could be in public areas including those frequented by expatriates and foreign travellers.
  
  
• You should avoid locations where demonstrations may take place. If it is necessary to be in the vicinity of a demonstration or gatherings, you should exercise vigilance and caution at all times. See Political Situation.
  
  
• We advise all British nationals travelling in or living in Armenia to register with the FCO via the Locate online registration service. We would be grateful for any assistance registered British citizens could provide in making other Britons aware of the Locate service if they have not registered.
  
  
• You should take out comprehensive travel and medical insurance before travelling. See General - Insurance.
