Preferred term
Armenian Americans
Definition
- Armenians have immigrated to the United States in two primary waves with different political and economic circumstances. Approximately 100,000 were already living in the United States by 1924, when most immigration was shut off, and a much larger flood, including survivors of the 1915 genocide, have arrived since immigration laws were liberalized in 1965.
