    The Armenian Diaspora has a very ancient history. Armenian and foreign sources already speak of its development in the early years of the Armenia’s existence and its continuous through the ages. In this study the author first examines the formation of the Armenian colonies during the Achaemenid period, the time of Alexander the Great, and up through the reign of king Tigranes the Great. Then the author discusses the formation of other colonies as a result of Sasanid and Byzantine policies towards the Armenians, stressing the role of the Armenians in the Byzantine Empire and the founding of totally new centers of Armenian life.
