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. Lets hope that this new centre in Shushi lives up to the brilliant work and ARF career of Vahan Navasardian.

  2. This brings back a lot of memories growing up in Egypt.
    The picture of Unger Vahan is forever ingrained on my mind. In addition to being the Editor of Houssaper, he was an extremely powerful, fiery and articulate speaker who mesmerized the audiences and had an everlasting effect and influence on the young minds of that time to become ARF members.
    It is most rewarding that after so many years of service, self sacrifice and dedication, he is being remembered and honored.
