Örmények a 21. századi Romániában
Armenians in 21st-Century Romania

Summary/Abstract: The text focuses primarily on the issue of the stratification of the Armenians in Romania as an ethno-political category, drawing attention to the processuality of its internal heterogeneity and the need for its periodic review. Starting from the general premise that this is not a single ethnic group issue, but a general phenomenon due to the regional and historical complexity of Romania, the study of each group – whether we consider them as a national minority or as part of a global diaspora – requires the application of dynamic analytical models based on the situation of multiple social actors. Accordingly, the analysis will outline the historical, cultural, and institutional profile of Armenian communities living in present-day Romania, with a special focus on the changes in the internal composition of the category in the decades after the regime change, by sketching the specific dynamics that determine the group’s current image and identity processes.
