The National Assembly Building of Armenia (Armenian: Հայաստանի Ազգային ժողովի շենքը; Hayastani Azgayin Zhoghovi Shenk) is the home of the National Assembly of Armenia. The building is located on Baghramyan Avenue in Yerevan, Armenia's capital city. It was designed by Mark Grigorian.^[1] It was completed in 1950 and initially housed the legislature of Soviet Armenia, the Supreme Soviet. Since the adoption of the Armenian Constitution in 1995, the building has been occupied by the National Assembly. The construction of the National Assembly Building began in 1939 and was completed in 1950. The building was originally designed by architect Alexander Tamanyan in the style of Armenian national architecture, with elements of modernism incorporated into its design. However, due to the outbreak of World War II, the construction was halted, and the building was not completely finished until after the war. The National Assembly Building is situated on the Republic Square, which is the central square of Yerevan and a popular gathering place for public events and celebrations. It is surrounded by other significant buildings, including the Government House and the History Museum of Armenia.
