Assyrians in Armenia

Assyrians in Armenia (Syriac: ܣܘܪ̈ܝܐ ܕܐܪܡܢܝܐ, Armenian: Ասորիները Հայաստանում, romanized: Asorinery Hayastanum), or Armenian Assyrians, are Assyrian people or people of Assyrian descent living in Armenia. The origins of Armenia's Assyrian community traces back to the Russo-Persian War (1826–1828) and the treaties of Gulistan and Turkmenchay, creating the first communities in the country as well as being the first instance of emigration creating an Assyrian diaspora. Assyrians also began to flee to Armenia following the Assyrian genocide. According to the 2022 Armenian census, there are 2,755 Assyrians living in Armenia. They are predominantly present in the villages of Arzni, Dimitrov, Verin Dvin, and Nor Artagers, though some are also in the capital of Yerevan.
