Armenians in Belgium are citizens of Belgium of Armenian ancestry. The exact number of Armenians in the country is unknown, but is unofficially estimated to be about 40,000.[1]
One of the important sectors that Armenian communities in Belgium excel and are involved in is the diamonds trade business,[2][3][4][5][6] which is based primarily in the diamond district.[7][8] Some of the famous Armenian families involved in the diamond business in the city are the Artinians, Arslanians, Aslanians, Barsamians and the Osganians.[9]
