ARKA News Agency is 26 years old!

We are 26, and this means that we have crossed the threshold of a quarter of a century. And it’s time to review the results of twenty-six years of activity. In the beginning we were, but now… 

Yes, that’s right. In 1996, we were a small news agency, and now we are a media holding consisting of ARKA and Novosti-Armenia news agencies with their own websites (armbanks.am, telecom.arka.am, foodandwine.am), Facebook platforms, YouTube and Telegram-channels.

All of this, however, can be clearly seen in the infographic. 

What’s next? In spite of everything we have new ideas, new projects that you’ll hear about yet.

Thank you all for your loyalty and devotion to our edition, for your interest in us, for your feedback, for being our greatest achievement in all these years of work.

Sincerely      ARKA News Agency staff
