Originally most Armenians came in the later half of the 20th century from countries like Lebanon, Syria, and Iran, however a number of its members migrated from Poland and are members of the Armenian Catholic Church (see Catholic Church in Sweden).
They were joined later on by a good number of Armenians from Iraq, following the same path as significant numbers of Iraqi Arabs, Iraqi Kurds and Iraqi Assyrians who had chosen Sweden to escape political turmoil in Iraq to settle in the country.
