You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Armenians in Serbia''' (((Lang-hy|Հայերը Սերբիայում|translit=Hayery Serbiayum)); ((Lang-sr|Јермени у Србији|translit=Jermeni u Srbiji))) refers to ethnic [[Armenians]] living in [[Serbia]].

==History==
Armenians were recorded in Serbia in 1218 when [[Saint Sava]] invited constructors to build a Serbian Orthodox monastery after he had been to [[Armenia]] and seen the Armenian architecture there. The Armenians were to build Vitovnica Monastery, which has preserved a bilingual sacral text in Serbian and Armenian dating to the building.<ref name="arhiva.glas-javnosti.rs">((cite web|url=http://arhiva.glas-javnosti.rs/arhiva/2006/04/27/srpski/R06042602.shtml|title=Parastos kod Krsta u kamenu|website=Arhiva.glas-javnosti.rs|access-date=23 March 2019))</ref>

Armenians were a small part of the Ottoman Turkish army when they invaded Serbia prior to the [[Battle of Kosovo|Battle of Kosovo 1389]]. However upon hearing that they would attack a [[Christians|Christian]] people, they fled the Ottomans to the other side to fight alongside the Serbs. After the battle, the surviving Armenians settled in the hills of [[Sokobanja]] where they built Jermenčić Monastery.<ref name="arhiva.glas-javnosti.rs"/>

Evliya Celebi registers an Armenian "district" of [[Užice]] in the 17th century.<ref>((cite journal|url=http://facta.junis.ni.ac.rs/pas/pas2003/pas2003-02.pdf|journal=Philosophy, Sociology, and Psychology|volume=2, 10|date=2003|pages=717–730|title=ELEMENTS OF ETHNIC IDENTIFICATION OF THE SERBS|author=Danijela Gavrilović|access-date=23 March 2019))</ref>

Remains of an Armenian graveyard lie in [[Kalemegdan|Kalemegdan fortress]], which was last used in the 17th century after the Ottomans destroyed it. Only a few tombs are left in good condition. In 1810, the Turks destroyed the [[Celije Monastery]], and the Serbs rebuilt it in 1811 with the help of wealthy Armenians. One of the benefactors had his idea of an Armenian style dome included in the work, so the monastery today can be considered an outcome of Byzantine/Serbian-Armenian architecture.

In 1880s, merchants from the [[Kemah, Turkey|Gamakh]] region in Armenia settled in [[Valjevo]] (Tehlirians). Among the Tehlirians was [[Soghomon Tehlirian]]'s father.<ref>((cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gpL9QKCJ2L8C&q=soghomon+tehlirian+tiflis&pg=PA65|title=Resistance and Revenge: The Armenian Assassination of Turkish Leaders Responsible for the 1915 Massacres and Deportations|first=Jacques|last=Derogy|date=31 December 2011|publisher=Transaction Publishers|access-date=23 March 2019|page=65|isbn=9781412833165|via=Google Books))</ref> During the Second World War, many Armenians moved to North America and France.

In the past, there used to be an Armenian Catholic church in [[Novi Sad]] (built in 1746, razed in 1963).

Some 500 female Serbian descendants of Armenians married Serbs in the 1990s.<ref name="arhiva.glas-javnosti.rs"/>

===Recent history===
[[File:Monument of Armenian familly Černazi.jpg|thumb|right|Monument of Armenian family Černazi in [[Novi Sad]]]]
Armenia and Serbia established diplomatic relations in 1992. Armenia is represented in Serbia through its embassy in [[Athens]], Greece. Serbia is also represented in Armenia through its embassy in Athens. The "Armenka" association of ethnic Armenians in Serbia which holds community affairs is led by Gohar Harutyunyan-Sekulic.

On 28 July 2009, [[Boris Tadic]] arrived in [[Armenia]], becoming the first Serbian head of state to visit Armenia. The presidents wished to improve the spiritual, cultural and economic relations of the two countries stressing that the centuries-long friendship between the peoples was a good basis for boosting their bilateral relations. Armenia has not recognized the unilateral declaration of independence of [[Kosovo]].<ref>((Cite web |url=http://www.b92.net/eng/news/politics-article.php?yyyy=2009&mm=07&dd=29&nav_id=60797 |title=B92 - News - Politics - Tadić ends Armenia visit |access-date=2010-02-02 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090730035944/http://www.b92.net/eng/news/politics-article.php?yyyy=2009&mm=07&dd=29&nav_id=60797 |archive-date=2009-07-30 |url-status=dead ))</ref>

Serbian president, [[Tomislav Nikolić]], was one of the heads of state to visit [[Yerevan]] on the occasion of the 100th anniversary of the [[Armenian genocide]].<ref>((Cite news|url=https://www.azatutyun.am/a/26976596.html|title = Putin, Hollande Join Armenian Genocide Remembrance in Yerevan| newspaper=«Ազատ Եվրոպա/Ազատություն» Ռադիոկայան | date=24 April 2015 | last1=Danielyan | first1=Emil ))</ref>

Armenian president, [[Armen Sarkissian]], visited Serbia in October 2019 to discuss ways in which the two countries can increase ties.<ref>((Cite web|url=https://armenpress.am/eng/news/990517.html|title='We perceive Serbs as brothers in faith and destiny' – Armenian President's interview to Politika))</ref>
