 *As of 2003 more than 8,000 Armenian Americans lived in '''Washington, DC.'''
 *Since the turn of the century there been a trend towards an increase in number of Armenians living outside of traditional settlement areas. For instance, the number of Armenians in '''Nevada''' increased from 2,880 in 2000 to 5,845 in 2010, '''Florida''' from 9,226 to 15,856, and '''Texas''' from 4,941 to 14,459. <ref>"Armenian Americans", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenian_Americans#Northeast, accessed 15 June 2021.</ref>
-===Armenians in Turkey===
-*Armenians in Turkey, one of the indigenous peoples of Turkey, have an estimated population of 50,000 to 70,000, down from more than 1 million to 2 million Armenians in the year 1914. Today, the overwhelming majority of Turkish Armenians are concentrated in Istanbul. Until the Armenian genocide of 1915, most of the Armenian population of Turkey (then the Ottoman Empire) lived in the eastern parts of the country that Armenians call Western Armenia (roughly corresponding to the modern Eastern Anatolia Region).
-*Starting in the late 19th century, political instability, dire economic conditions, and continuing ethnic tensions prompted the emigration of as many as 100,000 Armenians to Europe, the Americas and the Middle East. This massive exodus from the Ottoman Empire is what started the modern Armenian diaspora worldwide.
-*There was conflict between Armenians and Turks between 1892 and 1915. The Armenian genocide followed in 1915–1916 until 1918, during which the Ottoman government of the time ordered the deportation and killing of more than 1 million Armenians. These measures affected an estimated 75–80% of all the Armenians living in the Ottoman Empire during World War I. Many died directly through Ottoman massacres, while others died as a result of dehydration, disease, and starvation during the death marches and in the Syrian Desert, and even more due to Kurdish raids on fleeing refugees during the death marches.
-*As for the remaining Armenians in the east, they found refuge by 1917–1918 in the Caucasus and within the areas controlled by the newly established Democratic Republic of Armenia. They '''never returned to their original homes in today's Eastern Turkey''' (composed of six vilayets, Erzurum, Van, Bitlis, Diyarbakır, Mamuretülaziz, and Sivas).
-*Most of the Armenian survivors from Cilicia and the southernmost areas with Armenians like Diyarbakır ended up in '''northern Syria and the Middle East.'''<ref>"Armenians in Turkey", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenians_in_Turkey#History, accessed 15 June 2021.</ref>
