The purpose of this study is to delve into the role of identity, an identity that is constantly in change in an every-changing national context. In this text I have studied the Armenian community of Ethiopia. A community that was once very strong and influential, a community that has made a considerable impact on the Ethiopian society over the years. This is a community that takes great pride in themselves, yet, at the same time has integrated into whichever society that they have settled into. The Ethio-Armenian community has maintained their core identity and at the same time absorbed the host society's customs and cultures. They are a unique community where most refer to themselves as 100% Armenian and at the same time 100% Ethiopian. This study explores a community that not too many people are aware of in a third world country.
