World War I and its aftermath transformed the Austrian Armenian community : The area of the Bukovina Armenians was lost during the war , but a wave of immigrants came to Austria as a result of the Armenian Genocide perpetrated by the Ottoman Turks in 1915 . After 1918 , Galicia became part of a re-established Poland again , while the Bukovina region and much of its Armenian population became part of Romania ( and in 1947 was turned over to the USSR and today the Ukraine , which prompted most of its Armenian population to leave to Poland and Czechoslovakia after 1947 )
