/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Armenians in the Netherlands, An Exploring Survey"
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 Organizations 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
among hundreds of Armenians selected from thousands of available
addresses of Armenians living in Holland, the FAON press office told
PanARMENIAN.Net.
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 labor 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.
