Ayvazyan was born on 30 March 1969 in
Yerevan. From 1986 to 1993, he studied at the Faculty of Oriental Studies and the Faculty of Arabic Studies at
Yerevan State University. In 1994, he graduated from
Haigazian University in Lebanon. In the mid-90s, he served in MFA positions in Latin America. In 2016, he was made ambassador to Mexico, then four nations in Central America and the
Caribbean, and in 2018, the ambassador to
Panama. On 7 January 2021, the Azerbaijani president
Ilham Aliyev denounced Ayvazyan for his recent visit to
Artsakh, calling it a "provocative step" and adding that if continued, "Armenia will regret even more." On 27 May 2021, amid political instability, Ayvazyan submitted his resignation from the post of acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia. Four days later, he said goodbye to MFA staff in a statement that alluded to his unwillingness to carry out “ideas or initiatives that go against our statehood and national interests.” == Personal life and recognition ==
