Assyrians in Armenia (Armenian: Ասորիներ, Āsōrīnēr) make up the country's third largest ethnic minority, after Yazidis and Russians. According to the 2011 census, there are 2,769 Assyrians living in Armenia,[1] and Armenia is home to some of the last surviving Assyrian communities in the Caucasus.[3] There were 6,000 Assyrians in Armenia before the dissolution of the Soviet Union, but because of Armenia's struggling economy during the 1990s, the population has been cut by half, as many have emigrated.[4]
