Armenians

Armenians have been present in Cyprus since the 6th century. Their current population in the Republic of Cyprus is estimated to approximately 3.500 individuals. The first emigrants arrived in 1895. A second wave came in 1909-1910, followed by a third during the years 1915-1923, respectively due to the Adana massacre and the political upheavals and massacres during the last years of the Ottoman Empire.
