Armenians in the diaspora

The Armenian diaspora refers to the global community of Armenians who live outside their ancestral homeland, primarily because of historical events like the Armenian Genocide and economic migration. These communities are found in countries such as the United States, Russia, France, Lebanon, and Argentina. Armenians in the diaspora maintain cultural traditions, language, and religious practices while integrating into their host countries. They often organize community events, political advocacy, and efforts to preserve their heritage, fostering a strong sense of identity despite physical distance from Armenia. The diaspora plays a vital role in supporting Armenia economically, politically, and culturally.
