Abstract

Syrian Armenians had a passive role in the political life of Syria, as they were an important part of Armenian Diaspora and had responsibilities related to special functions, priorities, ethnic preservation, participation in social and economic life. Moving to Armenia and appearing in other social and political environment, they are standing in front of the adaptation of that environment, otherwise, the lack of political interest and their intention not to participate in the socio-political processes deprived them of being and feeling Armenian citizens.
