Ararad (Armenian: Արարատ) is a daily Lebanese Armenian newspaper and the official organ of the Armenian Social Democrat Hunchakian Party (Henchak) in Lebanon.[1] It is a four-page daily. Its executive director is Ani Yepremian since September 2012.[1]
History
[edit]Hunchakian activist Mihran Aghazarian planned to publish Ararad in 1933, but was killed 2 days before the start. Ararad was established in 1937[2][3] and the first issue appeared on 12 November 1937 in Beirut, Lebanon. First editor was Armenak Eloyan (1937-1939). Another former editor was Aharoun Shekerdemian.[3]
It used to be published daily until 2000, but from June 2001 to 2007, it was published weekly. Today it is published daily. From 1956 to 1965, a literary supplement of the newspaper called Ararad Kragan was also published. It was a literal monthly edited by Hakob Noruni.[4]
