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 have heard an estimate that less than 2 per cent of American Armenians are dues paying members of Armenian Apostolic, Armenian Evangelical and Armenian Catholic Churches.

    While I assume that a majority of us attend our Churches, few of us support them as dues paying members and participate regularly in the immortal mystical body of Christ, which God, our nation and our ancestors gave us, and which no force on Earth can take from us if we are faithful.

    One of the ways to keep ourselves going as a people is to support the Churches. I hope that in the preparation of the 100th anniversary of death and loss, we will find supporting our Churches in greater numbers, and with greater enthusiasm, a way to affirm our life, and the life of our nation, now and forever.
