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.
