:"This article is about Albanian immigrants in Greece. For the Arvanites or the Cham Albanians, see respective articles."
After the fall of communism throughout Eastern Europe in the late 1980s and early 1990s, a large number of economic refugees and immigrants from Greece's neighboring countries, Albania, Bulgaria, FYR Macedonia, Romania, as well as from more distant countries such as Russia, Ukraine, Armenia and Georgia, arrived in Greece, mostly as illegal immigrants, to seek employment. The vast majority of Albanians in Greece is estimated to be between 60-65% of the total number of immigrants in Greece. According to the 2001 census, there are 443,550 holders of Albanian citizenship in Greece. [ [http://www.migrantsingreece.org/transpartner/Tables.pdf Mediterranean Migration Observatory - Tables] ]
