Notes

1. This article only lists ethnic enclaves in the Armenian diaspora. Many sources describe Nagorno-Karabakh as an Armenian ethnic enclave, ^{[1] [2]} which it was during most of its existence as the Nagorno-Karabakh Autonomous Oblast (1923–91), when it did not border Soviet Armenia. Since the end of the 1988–94 war, the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (NKR) has been largely integrated with Armenia and the two today de facto function as a single entity. However, the NKR remains internationally unrecognized and is regarded by all UN members as de jure part of Azerbaijan.
2. The Armenian population of Kessab was forced out in March 2014, during the Syrian Civil War. ^[15]
3. The status of Jerusalem is disputed between Israel and the State of Palestine, but the Old City is de facto administered by Israel.
4. Abkhazia is de jure recognized as part of Georgia by most countries, however, it is de facto independent.
5. The Crimean Peninsula is disputed between Russia and Ukraine and is de facto part of Russia, but remains (for the most part) internationally recognized as de jure part of Ukraine. For more, see Political status of Crimea.
6. The city was home to one of Armenian communes in the Kingdom of Poland. For more information see: Armenians in Poland
