Armenians have lived in Norway since the 1970s. The community was formed mainly by Armenians who emigrated from Armenia, Iran, and Iraq.

Most Armenians live in Oslo, and there are small communities in Bergen, Stavanger, Trondheim, Vegorshe, and Trom.

Currently, the number of Armenians is about 1,500. The Armenian Cultural Association of Norway was established in 1989.

There is no Armenian church in Norway, but the Norwegian pastorate of the Armenian Apostolic Church in Scandinavia operates in the city of Vegorshay with its Parish Council.

Armenians are mainly involved in healthcare, information technology, artisanal, and various service sectors.

The Armenian community in Norway has no special legal status.

Well-known Norwegian scientist and humanist Fridtjof Nansen has done a lot of work to improve the situation of refugees from the Armenian Genocide.  On his initiative and with his assistance,  thousands of Armenian refugees received a "Nansen Passport", which alleviated their situation, and resources were allocated to organize the repatriation of nearly 7,000 refugees. 

In 2007, a khachkar was erected in Bergen in memory of a friend of the Armenian people, the great humanist Fridtjof Nansen, and the victims of the Armenian Genocide. In addition, a khachkar was erected in the memory of the Norwegian missionary Bodil Katarina Bjorn and the victims of the Armenian Genocide.
