Armenians in Lebanon

==Armenian neighborhoods==
Armenians live in many parts of Lebanon. Historically most Armenians have lived in Beirut and [[Matn District]] and Anjar in the Bekaa Region. From Beirut proper we can mention grander Ashrafieh: Hadjen (Corniche Nahr), Khalil Badawi, Karm el Zeytoun (Հայաշէն), Rmeil, Gemmayze, Mar Mikhael, Sursock, and Geitawi. Armenians have had strong presence also in other Beirut regions such as Khandaq Ghamik, [[Zuqaq al-Blat]], Zarif, Bab Idris, Sanayeh (Kantari), Clemenceau and Hamra, among others. During the civil war many of these Armenians emigrated or fled to safer regions in Lebanon. From the Beirut suburbs, there are big concentrations in Matn District, particularly Bourj Hammoud, Dora-Amanos, Fanar, Rawda, Jdeide, Zalka, Jal El Dib, [[Antelias]], Mezher (Dzaghgatzor), Naccash, Dbayeh, Awkar and in the regions situated from Antelias to Bikfaya. To the north, there are further Armenian populations scattered in Jounieh, Byblos and Tripoli (particularly the Mina area). Anjar is a place where Armenian populations is predominant.{{citation needed|date=October 2013}}

There are Armenian religious centers in Antelias and [[Bikfaya]] ([[Armenian Apostolic Church]]) and Beirut and [[Bzommar]] ([[Armenian Catholic Church]]). There is an Armenian orphanage in historic sites in Byblos.

In the Bekaa, there are Armenians living in [[Zahlé]] and most notably Anjar.
