Armenians in Turkey, National minority in Istanbul, Turkey
The Armenian community in Turkey maintains 16 schools, multiple churches, and 2 hospitals primarily centered in Istanbul's Kumkapi district.
The Armenian population in Turkey decreased from 2 million to approximately 60,000 following the events of 1915 and subsequent population movements.
Turkish Armenians preserve their identity through Armenian-language newspapers, traditional religious ceremonies, and educational institutions teaching Western Armenian.

Vakifli, located in Hatay Province, remains the last Armenian village in Turkey where residents continue agricultural traditions and maintain local customs.
