The earliest known record , from 1632 , recorded the arrival to Mexico of an Armenian national by the name of '' Francisco Martín '' . In 1723 , Armenian national '' Don Pedro de Zárate '' arrived to Mexico on a Spanish galleon from China to Acapulco . In 1897 , Mexican President Porfirio Díaz planned a project to establish an agricultural community with Armenian settlers in Soto la Marina , Tamaulipas ( in northern Mexico ) ; the project , however , was never materialized . Soon after the Armenian Genocide , committed by Ottoman forces in April 1915 , many Armenians began to immigrate to the American continent . From 1921-1928 , Mexico had an open immigration policy for most foreigners . During that time , close to 300 Armenians immigrated to Mexico
