Armenia’s Greek community acts as a bridge, connecting Armenia to
Greece, according to the head of the Greek community.
“At present, about 1300 Greeks reside in Armenia. Many left Armenia in
early 1990s because of complicated social and economic conditions. To
me, Armenia is a second motherland, my historic motherland,” Arkady
Khitarov told a news conference in Yerevan.
As Mr. Khitarov noted, Greeks in Armenia are perceived as a full
fledged members of the Republic, which is explained by many mixed
marriages in the community.
