  • The Armenians in Bangladesh were ethnic Armenians who lived in what is now called Bangladesh. Their numbers have gradually diminished and there are now no Armenians in the country. There was a fairly large Armenian colony in Dhaka, concentrated in the neighbourhood of Armanitola, during the early part of the 18th century. The Armenian community played a significant role in Bengali trade and commerce in the 17th and 18th centuries. The Armenian Apostolic Church of the Holy Resurrection established by the community in 1781, along with the adjacent cemetery, is a major landmark and tourist attraction of old Dhaka. Their assertive presence, however, began to decline from the beginning of British rule. Michael Joseph Martin (Mikel Housep Martirossian), reported to be the last Armenian in Dhaka, died on 9 May 2020. (en)

  • 孟加拉曾有相當規模的亞美尼亞社群,17世紀早期開始有亞美尼亞商人在孟加拉進行貿易,有部分商人便在孟加拉定居,他們交易的貨品多以黃麻、皮革與生絲為主,也包含鹽巴、檳榔與火藥的原料硝石等,在當時孟加拉的交易上扮演重要角色。亞美尼亞商人在達卡與今屬印度的巴特那、卡西姆巴扎爾、胡格利-欽蘇拉、穆爾斯希達巴德等地都曾有聚落,其中在達卡老城區形成了,1781年,當地建立了亞美尼亞人的教堂,教堂還有一座亞美尼亞人的墓園。18世紀晚期,受到英國商人的競爭之下,許多亞美尼亞人改投資土地,有些人後來還成為了擁有土地的柴明达尔。而除了貿易外,亞美尼亞人也對達卡的城市發展影響巨大,他們將馬車與歐式的百貨公司引入達卡,並於1848年創辦了達卡的第一間私立學校。 現在南亞多數的亞美尼亞人已經離開,孟加拉的亞美尼亞社群已不存在。管理亞美尼亞教堂的麥可·約瑟夫·馬丁(Mikel Housep Martirossian)可能是最後一位孟加拉的亞美尼亞人。2014年,馬丁得到中風,移居加拿大與其女兒同住,將管理教堂的責任移交給阿門·阿爾斯拉尼安(Armen Arslanian),阿門出生於阿根廷,於2008年因經商而到達卡,並與馬丁有所往來。阿門除了管理、修復教堂中的文物外,也致力於整理當地亞美尼亞人留下的史料,並為當地貧民提供糧食與醫療資源。 (zh)
