Armenians began to settle in the Czech Republic in the late 20th century, driven largely by the unstable political and economic conditions following the collapse of the USSR. Thus, unlike other Diaspora communities in Europe, the Armenian community in the Czech Republic is made up almost entirely from recent immigrants. Although the community is young, Armenian presence in the Czech Republic dates much further back, in fact, Prague’s very first café U Zlatého Hada was founded in 1714 by the Armenian businessman Georgius Deodatus Damascenus.
