Armenians in Denmark

The Armenian community in Denmark numbers approximately 1,200.[1] They mainly used the churches in Copenhagen, Aarhus and Odense.[2] The Armenians were served in the church with a priest from the Armenian community in Sweden.[1] In 2003, an agreement was signed between the Danish and Armenian governments, allowing forced repatriation of illegal immigrants. 100 Armenians living illegally in Denmark were reported to be subject to the measure.[3]

In 2005, The Danish Ministry of Ecclesiastical Affairs recognised the Armenian Apostolic Church in Denmark as a congregation with juridical rights to administer marriage ceremonies and with certain privileges as regards taxation.[1]

gollark: Yes, you can just boot into linux and muck with windows files given physical access, but it's more of an issue if you have, I don't know, a CD with that stuff on it.
gollark: Yes, programs of sufficient complexity will basically always have security problems. Doesn't mean they need to deliberately add them!
gollark: (hint: it's not)
