Armenians (Bulgarian: арменци armentsi) are the fourth largest minority in Bulgaria numbering 6552 according to the 2011 census down from 10832 in 2001 while Armenian organizations estimate up to 22000. They have been inhabiting the Balkans (including the territory of modern Bulgaria) since no later than the 5th century when they moved there as part of the Byzantine cavalry.
