Armenpress (Armenian Press; Armenian: Արմենպրես) is the oldest and the main state[2] news agency in Armenia.[3]
History and profile
[edit | edit source]Armenpress was founded on 18 December 1918[4] by the government of the First Republic of Armenia as the Armenian Telegraph Agency (Հայաստանի հեռագրական գործակալություն).[4][5] Simon Vratsian played a major role in the establishment of the agency.[4] After the Sovietization of Armenia in 1920 it was renamed to Armenkavrosta, and subsequently known as Armenrosta and Armenta. It was renamed Armenpress in 1972.[4] During the Soviet period, from 1920 to 1991, it served as the "official sanctioned source of public information", operating under direct control of the Armenian Communist Party.[6]
Armenpress collaborates with Reuters, TASS (Russia) and Xinhua (China).[3] It is a member of the Black Sea Association of National News Agencies.[5]
Many neologisms coined by Armenpress have entered the Armenian language.[7]
On 24 May 2022, Armenpress and Télam news agency signed a cooperation agreement in Buenos Aires, Argentina.[8]
