Interesting to read.
It seems a bit strange that the largest Armenian Diaspora population is in North America. Canada; in Montreal and Toronto, The USA; in CA and the Northeast and yet no discussion or presentations were made about this huge segment of the Diaspora, which plays a very critical role.

Actually, the largest Armenian Diaspora population is in Russia, not N. America.
Absolutely fascinating discussion. Important that issue is tackled scientifically and evidenced-based. Congratulations. annie
a stimulating discussion on the diaspora, specially on Armenians living in Bolis.
Our Grandmother and her family were from Constantinople Armenian. They immigrated to Central New York in 1920 with the help of newly American Armenians and Protestant Americans. Diaspora is a vast topic to explore.
