“We did all we could for six months to help him recover. However, nothing worked,” Asatouryan said.

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.

  1. I like to express my deepest condolences to Narek Asatryan’s family and loved ones, for the loss of their son for defending our freedom in our great country of Armenia.

  2. I have given thousands of dollars for years to many Armenian causes but this year I boycotted and did not. This corrupt government has the audacity to put our freedom fighters who fought in Karabagh including Babayan was too much for me. I think these non profit organisations have a duty to speak up and take a stand. Otherwise saying nothing shows they are complicit in governments actions
