The authors examine migration trends among Greeks and Armenians in Stavropol Province, Russia. "Since the dissolution of the Soviet Union migrations from the most troubled Transcaucasian zones (Azerbaijan and Georgia) or from those which are going through great economic difficulties (Armenia), have begun again. The refugees flooded in to set themselves up in medium and large towns in the Stavropol province sometimes with the objective of re-emigrating abroad. The Armenians, closer to their homeland and essentially urban, are distinctly more numerous than the Greeks, who come from various areas of their diasporic space and set themselves up more in rural areas."
