Armenians in Poland and Baltic States in modern stage

Հայերը Լեհաստանում և Մերձբալթյան Հանրապետություններում արդի փուլում

Résumé

After the collapse of the USSR tens of thousands of Armenians arrived in Poland and Baltic states (former Soviet republics of Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia) were actively engaged especially in the trading business. There are also many renowned public, arts, cultural figures who have established themselves in the societies of these countries. Poland’s Armenian community is one of the unique manifestations of the Armenian Diaspora, with its rich history and important roles in Poland’s and Baltic region’s life. Armenians live in Poland for more than 650 years and the Armenian community celebrated this anniversary with great enthusiasm in 2017. In cooperation with Polish authorities and partner organizations, as well as Armenian organizations of Poland, the Armenian Embassy has organized more than two dozen events on the 650th anniversary of the privilege granting to the Armenian community. The Polish Sejm and Senate adopted resolutions marking the 650th anniversary of the establishment of Armenian community in Poland. The Senate resolution congratulates the Armenians for the achievements and “contribution to the Polish culture and creative presence in the country’s history.” In the resolution, the Polish Sejm members underscored the Armenian community’s part in the history of Poland, and paid tribute to those who gave lives for the independence of the country. The Armenians living in the Baltic states are not traditional communities. Armenians with relatively large flows have been established in the Baltic states during the Soviet era, when mainly Armenian soldiers and specialists were sent there. It is noteworthy that after the Spitak earthquake in 1988, about 5 thousand Armenians were taken to Latvia, and some to Lithuania and Estonia. From the 1990s a number of Armenian refugees from Azerbaijan and Georgia have also been here. Small communities formed here, but there are different organizations that work hard in social and cultural spheres. The Armenian communities of Poland and Baltic states have an important role today in the relations of these countries and Armenia. Preservation of national values and close ties with the homeland are the guarantee of long-term existence of these communities.
