Disappointed by what they saw and lived through, almost all of the ones who went to Soviet Armenia wanted to return to Cyprus from the start, as they were not accustomed to that kind of life. Due to restrictions from the Soviet regime, in order to come back, a large number of them moved to Baku, Azerbaijan. The adventurous return started in 1967 and continued until 2005, although most of them came during the late 1980s (after the Spitak earthquake) and the early 1990s (after the dissolution of the Soviet Union). In fact, the first wave of Armenians from Armenia who came to Cyprus after 1991 were mostly Armenian-Cypriots who had migrated to Soviet Armenia in the 1960s and their spouses/descendants. Their lives have been indelibly marked, also creating a sort of “identity crisis”: in Cyprus they are considered “"Hayastantsi"” (Armenians from Armenia), while in Armenia they were considered “"Gibratsi"” (Cypriots) or “"Gibrahay"” (Armenians from Cyprus).
