Census reference: 8 April 2024; results published 20 October 2025

What the figure measures
Usual residents declaring Armenian as their first ethnicity in the census-covered territory. Another 78 declared it as a second ethnicity. The census excludes the left bank of the Dniester, Bender and other specified localities; the broader community estimate covers a different geography.

Data limitation: The 2024 census counted 958 people declaring Armenian as their first ethnicity, and 78 as a second ethnicity. It excludes the left bank of the Dniester, Bender and other specified localities. The Office community profile includes Bender and Grigoriopol, so the geographic scopes differ.

Moldova: Coverage and source notes

Selected institutions, not a complete inventory or ranking. Listings and dated reports do not independently establish present services. Armenian media were not verified. School and church entries rely on undated Office listings; association accreditation is documented in August 2026.

Directory sources checked:

This is a selected guide, not a complete inventory or a ranking of influence. A direct source documents what an institution publishes about itself; it does not independently verify every claim or establish uninterrupted operation. Directory listings and historical records carry their stated limits. Dates identify the publication, documented activity or report reference period, as described in the entry. Missing source dates are shown explicitly. Inclusion does not imply partnership or endorsement.

  • Clarify the date and population definition behind the community estimate.
  • Verify recent institutional activity and the availability of Armenian-language education.
Moldova: How to read the figures

A census count, an ancestry response and a community estimate measure different populations. Dates and definitions remain attached to each figure. The covered-country sum uses selected reference values, range midpoints and stated boundaries for “more than” or “up to”; it is not a synchronized population count or a statistical confidence interval. Undated and historical estimates are not current resident counts. The independently published worldwide estimate must not be added to the country sum.
