Society for Orphaned Armenian Relief (SOAR) Qatar Chapter

Doha (Qatar) joined the SOAR family in May 2015. Ethnic Armenians in Qatar number between 800 and 1,500 and live mainly in the capital city of Doha. Many Armenians originating from Lebanon, Syria, and other Arab countries were attracted by the economic opportunities in the early 1990s. Since then, economic migrants to Qatar have included people from the Republic of Armenian and Armenians from Russia. Roughly 94% of Armenians in Qatar are Christian. The majority belong to the Armenian Apostolic Church and are under the jurisdiction of the Holy See of Cilicia.
