Armenians in Malta
Armenian Diaspora in Malta is a community of Armenians, living on the island of Malta. There are thousands of Armenians on Malta, but only some 400-500 identify themselves as Armenians. The rest are assimilated with the locals and they consider themselves Maltese. The surnames and documents, saved in their family archives, are indicative of their Armenian origin. The interests of the Armenian Diaspora in Malta are represented by the Armenian Community of Malta.
==History==
The relationship of Armenian Kingdom with the Order of St. John has very ancient roots and started in 1097. Order of St. John (Sovereign Military Hospitaller Order of St. John of Jerusalem of Rhodes and of Malta) became the land owner beginning with the year 1149. In 1163 the Order was granted with a castle around Mamestia city and two castles in Selevkia under Levon II. The Order was present in Cilicia till 1375. Many Armenian knights and ordinary citizens resettled on Malta after the collapse of Armenian Kingdom in 1375.
The second mass resettlement of the Armenians in Malta took place after the Armenian Genocide in 1915 in Ottoman Empire, and the third resettlement was at the end of the 1990s after the collapse of the USSR. Basic part of the migrants later moved to the countries of Continental Europe.
One of the historical examples of the presence of Armenians on Malta is the Church Ta' Liesse built by means of the funds provided by Bali d’Armenia, Fra Giacomo Chenn de Bellay, one of the descendants of Luzinian family.
