=== Historical === [[File:Limassol 01-2017 img12 Sourp Kevork Armenian Church.jpg|thumb|[[Sourp Kevork Church, Limassol|Sourp Kevork Armenian Apostolic Church]]]] Historically, Limassol had a mixed population of [[Greek Cypriots]], [[Turkish Cypriots]], and [[Armenian Cypriots]]. Most Turkish Cypriots moved to the north in 1974-1975. Consequently, many Greek Cypriots from the north, who became refugees following the [[Turkish invasion of Cyprus|Turkish invasion]], settled in the city. In the 1990s, several Cypriot [[Romani people]] (considered Turkish Cypriots according to the [[Constitution of Cyprus|constitution]]) returned from the north to the Turkish quarter of Limassol. Armenians remained in Limassol, residing around the [[Sourp Kevork Church, Limassol|Sourp Kevork Armenian Apostolic Church]] and maintain the [[Limassol Armenian school|Nareg Armenian School]] ({{Langx|hy|Նարեկ Հայկական Վարժարան}}). There is also an Armenian village in the Limassol district called [[Armenochori, Cyprus|Armenochori]] ({{langx|el|Αρμενοχώρι}}). The population [[birth rate]] rose by 70% during the late 19th and 20th centuries (1878–1960). The number of inhabitants increased from 6,131 in 1881 to 43,593 in 1960. The Greek Cypriot population was estimated at 37,478, while the Turkish Cypriot population was at 6,115.<ref name=":1" />
