The Ukrainian community in Armenia began to form in the 19th century. As early as 1858, about 150 people were resettled from the territory of Ukraine to the modern territory of Armenia, where the village of Mykolaivka (now Amrakits, Stepanavan district) was founded. The majority of Ukrainians who currently live in Armenia arrived there in the post-WWII period (1945-1990). According to the 2001 census, 1,633 ethnic Ukrainians lived in Armenia by then.

The Yerevan Scientific and Educational Institute, created based on the Yerevan branch of the West Ukrainian National University, operates in Armenia. It is the only Ukrainian higher education institution in the South Caucasus.
