Armenians in Ethiopia


Armenian Church in Ethiopia

A massive amount of Armenians began to enter Ethiopia during 1875. Murad, who was the second Armenian in Ethiopia, was the person that imported a historic church bell into Ethiopia from Holland.Among those in the first wave was Kevork Terzian, a young caterer who entered the northern town of Harare with the Ottoman Army.The Terzian clan has been well established ever since in all manner of trade and industry. They formed a community and even established an Armenian school.  During the Armenian Genocide that was committed by the Ottoman Empire, a group of 40 orphan Armenians were sent to the Armenian community in Ethiopia.
