The Armenian National Union of USA congratulated the temporary government of Czechoslovakia. The Armenian press drew parallels between these two newly emerged republics and their nations. They noted that both nations had suffered under the yoke of the Austro-Hungarians and Ottoman Turks. Czechoslovakia was the first state to take a practical step toward establishing economic contacts with the Republic of Armenia. Indeed, in Autumn 1920 the Czechoslovak Central Economic Committee sent two of its delegates to Armenia for a fact-finding mission regarding the economic potential and natural resources of the country. In October 1920 the Republic of Armenia nominated a consul in five European states, including Czechoslovakia, but the prospects of deepening the relations ended with the sovietization of Armenia.
