Armenian Brazilians ( Armenian: Բրազիլահայեր, romanized: Brazilahayer; Portuguese: armeno-brasileiro, armênio-brasileiro) are Brazilian persons who are fully, partially, or predominantly of Armenian descent, or Armenian immigrants in Brazil. [4]
Armenian immigrants in Brazil gathered mostly in and around the city of São Paulo, where there are churches, cultural centers, and even a metro station named " Armênia". [5] The Armenian community maintains a strong presence in the city, albeit not in the country as a whole.
