Armenian Argentines (Armenian: Հայերն Արգենտինայում, romanized: Hayern Argentinayum; Spanish: Armenios en Argentina) are ethnic Armenians who live in Argentina. Estimates vary, but between 70,000 and 120,000[1] people of Armenian ancestry live in the country, forming one of the largest groups in the Armenian diaspora worldwide.[2] The core of the population came from Cilicia, Syria and Lebanon.
Today, the number of Armenians in Argentina is around 120,000....
