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.

Since 2013, the Finland-Armenia Association has been operating with the goal to unite Armenians living in Finland and to preserve the Armenian identity.

Most Armenians are followers of the Armenian Apostolic Church, and a small number the Armenian Catholic Church. There are several Armenian organizations, including Sunday schools. There are no functioning churches in the country.

Armenians are mainly involved in commerce and healthcare professions. The Armenian community has no special legal status.
