Lebanon is the first example coming to mind
once multi-ethnic and religious societies are mentioned. Throughout the ages,
it has welcomed various ethnic and religious groups in the Middle East.
Migration of Armenians to Lebanon was important flows changing the distribution
of population deeply. This paper is about the Armenian community in Lebanon. As
a non-native population of the Lebanon, Armenians were able to establish their
community and to appear a distinct community. This paper consists of two
sections. Firstly, the roots of the Armenian presence will be explained in the
historical point of view. Secondly, it is aimed to focus on the construction
process of the Armenian community. Overall, it could be argued that Lebanon for
Armenians be seen as religious, cultural and political centres. Experiences of
Armenians caused them to root into Lebanese society. It is not exaggerated that
no other place where Armenians national life is organised so well and as
efficiently as Lebanon. For this reason, Lebanon can be called as a capital of
the Armenian diaspora. Lebanese Armenians not only in the diaspora but also in
Lebanon have distinctive features.
