The Armenians have been present in the Carpathian Basin since the Middle Ages, but some hypotheses claim that the Hungarians had already had contacts with them even before the Conquest of Hungary. Their more substantial immigration took place in the second half of the 17th century, and further waves came in the 20th. In the Early Modern era, they strengthened Hungary's economy as a mediator ...
