Information about the settlement of Armenians in Finland dates back to the 17th century when New Julfa merchants established trade relations with Scandinavia. However, there were very few permanent residents until the 2000s.

The number of Finnish-Armenians is currently around 1,200. They mainly moved from the USSR, the Middle East, Armenia, and partially from Norway. Most live in the cities of Helsinki, Tampere, Turku, Huyvinkya, Kotka, and Porvoo.
