I have now split off the section "Armenians per country" into a standalone article - List of Armenian populations by country. It will need to be checked and cleaned up. SilkTork * YES! 00:12, 21 March 2011 (UTC)
In this article, it says: "Armenian communities already existed outside of Greaters of the Sassanid Empire, and also to defend eastern and northern borders of the Byzantine Empire."
"Greaters" makes no sense in this context. I assume the author means that outside of Greater Armenia, diasporic Armenian communities emerged in the Sassanid and Persian empires, which is correct. Minas1913 ( talk) 14:44, 29 March 2012 (UTC)
Propose merging Largest Armenian communities outside of Armenia here. Essentially the same topic and not abnormally big to justify split. Brandmeister talk 16:26, 1 July 2012 (UTC)
Following an AfD discussion about White Genocide, there seems to be a consensus to merge that content into Armenian diaspora. Chris Troutman ( talk) 02:12, 28 July 2013 (UTC)
I am Turkish. I don't hate Armenians. Because I'm not racist. But what is the source of this term?? Armenian people bring up their nationalistic ideas into these words. They are smart. Many Wikipedia articles back-up their nationalistic future plans. Six vilayets is better term. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.248.55.40 ( talk) 14:57, 26 November 2013 (UTC)
Given this article's rather brief portion on the history of the Armenian Diaspora and its seemingly disproportionate emphasis (in terms of citations) on estimated population figures, I cut down this article by about 15,000 kilobytes and reduced the number of citations from about 190 to 140. There are several reasons for this. The estimated population figures are meant to be current, and yet there are figures cited from a book (Ayvazyan, Հայ Սփյուռք հանրագիտարան) published more than ten years ago to substantiate 2014 figures. This in and of itself would not be so problematic if population data are hard to come by in certain countries (e.g. South Africa, Thailand, etc.) but in face of more recent and specialized sources that are closer to the subject matter, it would be better to exclude it. Further, we do not know what sources Ayvazyan is working with (although I would assume he would be citing official data and available books and articles) so in this case his figures may be no different than the census data.
Some sources are also inappropriate. For example, one source (Thon, Caroline (2012). Armenians in Hamburg) was being used to substantiate the estimated population of communities outside the author's general purview, in this case Germany. She may be a reliable author but when it comes to citing the size of a population in Istanbul or Sydney, then it would be better to find information from authors who specialize in those regions. Just because an author may offhandedly say that x's population is x does not mean automatically mean we have to consider it as yet another reliable that must be mentioned and included. There were other facts mentioned in Armenian-language sources and the editor who added them also added long block quotes in the endnotes, which, again, isn't wrong, but in light of this article's size, is unnecessary since it seems like an uncontroversial fact. If something is well known, it is not necessary to add half a dozen references; one or two will suffice. Those who may be interested in investigating those sources will be able to visit those sites and read the material for themselves.
The population section needs to be trimmed down further and the history section is in especially wanting of expansion. I will try to work on this article as my time permits.-- Marshal Bagramyan ( talk) 17:45, 30 March 2014 (UTC)
"while the number of Armenians in the rest of Azerbaijan is a highly politicized issue. Anecdotally the figure of 30,000 is often cited, though this is almost certainly an exaggeration.

Hello fellow Wikipedians,
I have just added archive links to 3 external links on
Armenian diaspora. Please take a moment to review
my edit. You may add {{

nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}}
to keep me off the page altogether, but should be used as a last resort. I made the following changes:
When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{

In the introduction, the claim that “the modern Armenian diaspora was largely formed[...] when the Armenians living in their homeland rioted against Ottoman Empire with support of the Russian Empire and displaced to various places. These brutal riots resulted in many civilian casualties for people of the area since the Muslim male population of Ottoman Empire was enlisted to the army while Armenian males did not,” is a mixture of subjective opinions and disputed accounts that blame the Armenians for their expulsion while using passive language to elide the actions of the Ottoman government. The citation link is broken. Kgdescant ( talk) 05:12, 9 September 2019 (UTC)
I would like to propose some new information to be added to this Wikipedia page from the sourceGlobal Diasporas: an Introduction by Robin Cohen. I would be adding some statistics from my secondary source about the number of Armenians living abroad after the Genocide by the beginning of the twentieth century. Altogether my addition would be around 100 words. If anyone wants to comment on these changes, please let me know on this Talk Page or on my Talk Page. Vanessa1290 ( talk) 16:41, 1 December 2020 (UTC)
I would like to edit the section in which the author(s) of this Wikipedia page stated that the main cause of migration was the genocide. Although, because of the genocide a huge migration occurred, Armenians were migrating way before it as well. In fact, more than sixty-five thousand Armenians migrated to the United States between the years 1885 and 1915. Contrary to what the Wiki page stated, Gutman, the author of my source, wrote that at least half of Armenians who migrated to North America, left between the years of 1888 and 1908, which was before the Armenian Genocide occurred [1]. I would like to add about 3 sentences to this section to give the readers a better scope on Armenian migration prior to the genocide. My secondary source is reliable because it was published in 2019 by the Edinburgh University Press. If anyone else has more information or wants to add more to this section please feel free to contact me on my talk page! Jesskasparian ( talk) 19:42, 30 November 2021 (UTC)Jesskasparian
