Abstract
In the 11th century, after the fall of Ani, Armenians begin to migrate in all directions. A considerable number are settled in Astrakian, thence to move and establish abode in Crimea in 1299. Here they enhance trade and create a rich cultural heritage. It is Crimea that gives birth to the Armenian settlements in Eastern Europe, even though sprinklings of Armenians have existed here ever since the 10th century. During subsequent centuries, Armenians keep migrating to Eastern Europe for trade purposes and for such reasons as the forced deportations decreed by Mohammad Fatih, Bayazid II and Shah Abbas, the conquest of the Jalalis, the Turko-Polish war, the Turko-Russian war, and the Ottoman Constitution of 1908. With the increase of the Armenian population, displacements take place in the Polish, Hungarian, Bulgarian and Rumanian settlements. Armenians have widely contributed to the advancement of the social economic, and political life in these countries, keeping, meanwhile, their own national and religious customs unaltered down to the present time. The blessings, however, have not been unmixed. They have had their domestic problems, the most serious of which have been the troubles entailed by the propagandizing activities of the Roman Catholic Church.
