The Armenian Weekly

Since 1899, Armenian Weekly's Armenian-language predecessor, the Hairenik, has reported, analyzed, and commented on the historic events of modern Armenian history, often in their staggering proportion, making it the longest-running Armenian-language newspaper in the world. As the first waves of American-born, English-speaking generations grew older, the need for a more mature publication in English was eventually filled by the Armenian Weekly. Today, along with news of general interest to the Armenian-American community, our newspaper publishes editorials, political analyses, a rich array of opinion pieces and columns, as well as literary criticism and reviews. While providing a platform for the Armenian Revolutionary Federation and the Armenian National Committee of America, the newspaper also functions as a space where a wide variety of views and opinions can be discussed openly and honestly.
