Abstract: (En) This essay presents the process of integration and assimilation of Armenians in Transylvania. In regard to this, the study focuses on the change of their image, and also of the Armenian self-image and identity. Assimilation did not, however, mean denying of one's own roots: it seems that Armenians have managed to preserve a part of their identity until today. Besides, they remained faithful to the Hungarians also during the changes after World War I, and in their case no dissimilational process was observed
