Armenian Uruguayans
Armenian Uruguayans (Armenian: Հայերն Ուրուգվայում, romanized: Hayern Urugvayum; Spanish: Armenio-uruguayos) number around 15,000–20,000 of the population, making Uruguay to have one of the largest Armenian populations around the world. The Armenian community in Uruguay is one of the oldest communities in South America, with most of them residing in the capital Montevideo. The majority of Armenians in Uruguay are either third or fourth-generation descendants of the first wave of immigrants coming from the Ottoman Empire between the end of the 19th century and the Armenian genocide.
