Armenian population

Armenians are an ethnic group originating from the historical region of Armenia in the South Caucasus. Today, they number around 6 to 7 million people worldwide. Most Armenians live in Armenia, a country in the South Caucasus, and in the Armenian diaspora spread across countries like Russia, the United States, France, and Lebanon. The population has been shaped by historical events, including migration, conflicts, and genocide. Armenians share a distinct language, culture, and Christian religion (mainly Armenian Apostolic), which together foster a strong sense of identity and community across the globe.
