ARKA News Agency is 28 years old!

ARKA News Agency has turned 28 years old on May 1. All these years our principles have remained unchanged – to promptly provide reliable and quality information to our audience and to become an influential news agency for the business community. During these years we have managed to earn the trust and respect of our readers and partners, and this is the highest evaluation of our work.

This trust, in particular, is evidenced by the fact that we are the media partner of the EBRD Annual Meeting and Business Forum, which will be held in May in Yerevan, along with such recognized leaders of our field as Euromoney and Global Finance, and in June – the EEurasian Development Bank’s Annual Meeting in Almaty.

Trust is still the most important criterion for evaluating our work. We are grateful to our partners and clients for their support and look forward to further cooperation. We are also grateful to all our readers, colleagues and friends who have stayed with us all these years. We will continue to be together despite the turbulent times in which we live today.
