Armenian diaspora refers to the communities of Armenians outside Armenia and other locations where Armenians are considered an indigenous population . Since antiquity , Armenians have established communities in many regions throughout the world . However , the modern Armenian diaspora was largely formed as a result of the Armenian Genocide of 1915 , when the Armenians living in their ancestral homeland in eastern Turkey , known as Western Armenia to Armenians , were systematically exterminated by the Ottoman government
