Ukrainians in Armenia
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Ukrainians in Armenia are people of full or partial ethnic Ukrainian origin who reside in Armenia.
Origins
The first Ukrainians in Armenia came in the mid 19th century after the migration to Transcaucasia by “the Cossacks from Minor Russia” to seal the Empire’s Southern borders. The main activity of the migrants was agriculture and livestock.

According to the 1989 Census, living in Armenia were 8.3 thousand Ukrainians. However, with regard to the migrational processes of the last decade, today that number has perhaps been reduced by half.[1]
