Previously, he had been Armenia's ambassador in London, having been a faculty member at the University of Cambridge when Armenia became the first country to gain independence from the former Soviet Union.

He is now one of the directors of Eurasia House. [1]

^ As director of Eurasia House, he uses the spelling Armen Sarkissian, wich is the French transcription of his Russian name Армен Саркисян. On former Soviet passports, the Russian names were usually transcribed to Latin alphabet using a French transcription system since French was the language used on it as the diplomatic language.
