Armenian-Assyrian relations has a background in both groups being among the first nations to accept Christianity, which has connected the two very close to one another throughout historic times. During World War I, they shared the same fate as victims of genocide in the decaying Ottoman Empire.

Today, mixed marriages between Assyrians and Armenians in the Republic of Armenia and more importantly in the diaspora is very common as the two share a close culture.
