But are you, like, Ramgavar, Dashnak, Hnchak, Serzhakan, Levonakan, Gengis Khanakan?

Frankly, no. Our interest is in conveying information to you according to our own principles and not as a matter of any party ideology.

Aren’t there enough Armenian media organizations?

We feel that there is always room for new perspectives and ideas. In thinking communities, vibrancy in information production and communication is key to progress and development. We think we offer something unique to our readers but we think there should be more outlets that extend the diversity of views in the Armenian community worldwide, even if we don’t agree with them.
