The second wave of migrants came during the end of the 19th and the beginning of the 20th centuries , when around 30,000 mostly Turkish Hemshin Armenians arrived in the region , along with a few from Persia and Transcaucasia . During this period two different types of migrants can be identified : those who came for economic reasons who were attracted by Russian government and those who were forced to leave due to the oppression and genocide by the Ottoman government . The peak of migration activity was reached at the end of the 1870s as a result of the Russo-Turkish War ( 1877 – 1878 ) , in the 1890s when pogroms took place against Armenians in Turkey and Baku and from 1915 to 1920 when mass persecution of the Armenian population took place in Turkey
