Summary/Abstract: The general objective of the present study has been to identify the internal structure of the ethnic group of Armenians which, in spite of their unitary ethnic status, are constituted by two compact blocks and by several subgroups. These subgroups create an internal field where the actors fight for the right to the legitimate representation of the minority, which coincides also with having the resources necessary for the community's cultural reproduction. The main objective has been to identify these actors and describe the discourse of legimitacy by presenting its the main topics as well.
