Map of the Armenian diaspora in the world (includes people with Armenian ancestry or citizenship). For detailed statistics, see Armenian population by country.
The Armenian diaspora refers to the communities of Armenians outside Armenia and other locations where Armenians are considered an indigenous population. Since antiquity, Armenians have established communities in many regions throughout the world. However, the modern Armenian diaspora was largely formed as a result of World War I, when the genocide which was committed by the Ottoman Empire forced Armenians who were living in their homeland to flee from it or risk being killed.[1][2] Another wave of emigration started during the dissolution of the Soviet Union.[3]
The High Commissioner for Diaspora Affairs established in 2019 is in charge of coordinating and developing Armenia's relations with the diaspora.
