Regional instability at the end of the 20th century caused some Armenians to settle in Qatar, largely due to favorable working conditions. Until 2001, there was no organized community life in Qatar. In recent years, the number of Armenians has grown rapidly, which has created a demand for more community organizations. The Armenian community of Qatar is mainly populated by Armenians from Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan.

As a result of Qatar's rapid economic development and large-scale construction projects over the past 10 years, the number of Armenians living there has also grown rapidly. Currently, there are about 500-600 Armenians living in Qatar who work in various private structures and are mainly involved in engineering, construction, and economics. Successful Armenian entrepreneurs in business circles contribute to making community life more active.

The Qatari community is included in the diocese of Kuwait and the Arabian Gulf, which is subject to the Catholicosate of the Great House of Cilicia. There is a Qatar National Department, and a one-day Mesrobian School. Armenian language, history, religion are taught for 1 hour 2 days a week.
