Issy-les-Moulineaux is home to a community of 5,000 Armenians that have established themselves in the area since the 1930s.[3] The community has two Armenian churches, an athletic club, a school, a monument dedicated to the Armenian Genocide, and a street named after Armenia called Rue d'Armenie, and Rue d'Erevan named after Armenia's capital Yerevan.[4][5] Issy-les-Moulineaux became twin cities with Echmiadzin, Armenia in December 1989.[6]
