Abstract
Notwithstanding its small size, the Damascus Armenian community constitutes a historical part of the Syrian Armenian community. These Armenians settled in Damascus after the Genocide and revived the old community there.

The paper highlights the growth and formation of the community, its schools, voluntary organizations, and churches, as wells as its socio-cultural growth in the last one hundred years. It underlines the role of a number of prominent Damascene Armenians had in various aspects of Syrian politics, society, economy, and culture. Furthermore, the paper examines the relations of the community with local cultural circles and assesses the Damascene Armenian community from the local Arab perspective.
