wh00t Posted July 27, 2001 Report Share Posted July 27, 2001 2nd perhaps "per capita" behinds the Jews.. I'm guessing of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harut Posted July 27, 2001 Author Report Share Posted July 27, 2001 i was guessing the same thing.but what does "per capita" mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kazza Posted July 28, 2001 Report Share Posted July 28, 2001 hhmmm...California has the highest population of Armenian diaspora, I gather, (mabye even Glendale alone!) Go check the archives, Harut. I think there are plenty of threads full of Links to websies counting it. One of them says England have a very high percentage (I find that very very surprising. LOlly lol!)If you give me a min, I'll drag up one of them...hold on.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wh00t Posted July 28, 2001 Report Share Posted July 28, 2001 Harut, think of it this way:There are 8,000 Turks living in Turkey and 2,000 living elsewhere.There are 1,000 Armenians living in Armenia and 2,000 living elsewhere. Although the number of people living in the Turkish diaspora is greater, a greater percentage of Armenians live in the Diaspora (66% Armenians vs. 25% Turks).

gamavor Posted July 28, 2001 Report Share Posted July 28, 2001 Even "per capita" we are not close to the top 10.Take for example the Irish. 3.5 mln. live in Ireland and 40mln. around the world.Russians, Poles, Lebanise, and many many others are before us.

Harut Posted July 30, 2001 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2001 one thing, you people say that there are many other nations that have greater diasporas.but, do they((let's say Irish)) recognize themselves Irish desends, or do they do anything that would show their Irishness. i don't know how to put this in words.but i mean do they follow at least some traditions, do they participate in any kind of Irish activitives, or eat Irish food once a while, listen to Irish music once a while, or mantion that they are Irish. i think you got me. i talking about working diaspora, not just genetical desenders.
