Abstract

Nearly every society has the experience of dividing itself into majority and minority groups. There is no society without a minority group. Since the minority can not be unnoticed, such groups are taken but for an integral part of a society.
Social gap is one of the variables affecting the socio-political entity of minorities and religious sects living within the same national borders. The concept of “Social gap” indeed closely relates to that of “minority”. It actually denotes the feeling of proximity among the members of one group to those of other groups in the same society. It can possibly be used as an index of intimacy not only among racial or ethnic groups but among the members within a group as well.
The present article aims at studying the impact of such demological variables as age, marital status, sex, residence (urban/rural) and education upon the social gap between Armanians and Muslims.
