Greek-Armenian
The Armenians in Greece ( el, Αρμένιοι, ''Arménioi'') are Greek citizens of Armenian descent. The Armenian presence in Greece began centuries ago when Armenians, for various reasons, settled in the wider area of Thessaly, Macedonia (Thessaloniki) and Thrace. Traces of Armenians can also be found on the Greek islands of Crete and Kerkyra (Corfu). The Armenians in Greece however, acquired the character of a community after the 1920s, when 70,000 to 80,000 survivors of the Armenian genocide fled to Greece from Cilicia, Smyrna, Ionia, Constantinople and other regions of Asia Minor, scattering all over Greece. Today, immigration to North America has diminished the Armenian population of Greece. The number now counts for roughly 20,000–35,000 Armenians. Early settlement The presence of Armenians in Greece dates back to the Byzantine era, when Armenians settled in Thessalia, Macedonia, Thrace and the islands of Crete and Kerkyra for various reasons such as war and busin ...
