PRESS RELEASE
Just published in Dutch: ³Armenians in the Netherlands²
The Hague, 26 January 2009 – ³Armenians in the Netherlands, An Exploring
Survey² is the title of the book, which has just been published as a result
of recent investigation on the Armenian community of the Netherlands. The
book is published by the Federation of Armenian Organisations in the
Netherlands (FAON).
For the research, which was made possible with financial support of the
Dutch government, a written sample survey has been conducted of hundreds of
Armenians selected from thousands of available addresses of Armenians living
in Holland.
The results of the research give more insight which countries the Armenians
of the Netherlands came from, and the duration of their residence.
Additionally, information has been collected on the education level of
Armenians in the country of birth and in the Netherlands, as well as their
social and economic position, particularly their labour market position.
The social cultural position, like for example language use, social
contacts, mixed marriages, religious orientation, participation to Armenian
activities etc. are also investigated. Much attention has been paid to the
calculation according to scientific methods, of the Armenian population in
the Netherlands.
In addition to the outcome of the survey, the book contains an overview of
the history of Armenia and information on the Armenian community of the
Netherlands since the 17th century.
The FAON thanks everyone, who made this survey possible.
