On August 14 Asbarez will turn 115 years young.
This is an important milestone for any newspaper these days. However, the sheer drive and commitment to the mission of this newspaper, Asbarez continues to be the heartbeat of the ever-expanding and constantly progressing Armenian community in the Western United States.
The secret to Asbarez’s longevity is its devoted readership who for more than century have welcomed this Armenian newspapers into their homes, and more recently have made it a staple of their digital world.
Without our readers, advertiser and more importantly, the individuals and organizations that support us, Asbarez would not be able to deliver the quality news, information and commentary that it is on a daily basis.
It has become a transition since our 100th anniversary to engage our community in marking our anniversary by asking for donations that will enable us to advance and grow. And, you have heeded that call graciously and generously.
In these challenging times for our Nation when the very existence of our homeland in being threatened by our enemies, succinct information about the every-day realities becomes an critical tool for action as we unite behind our brethren in Artsakh and Armenia.
Since the onset of the tragic 44-Day War, Asbarez has provided round the clock coverage of the critical and fast paced events and continues to do so as collectively we are witnessing a crucial part of our national history unfold.
While our commitment to bring our readers up-to-the-minute news and information will not waver, we look to you — our readers, advertisers, supporters and community insinuations —to assist us in ensuring that our capabilities advance and grow.
