History

It was founded by Stepan Sapah-Gulian in 1903. The first issue was published in only 250 examples. "Yeritasard Hayastan" was edited by G. Yeghikyan, B. Varaztahd, H. Tyurabyan, Arsen Jerejian and others. It published news from Armenia and Armenian diaspora and analytical articles on social and political issues, including the Armenian Question, which was one of the main topics of publications. Yeritasard Hayastan was a weekly until 1973, then became a monthly publication edited by Arsen Jerejian (until 1997). [1]

Armenian diaspora diaspora

The Armenian diaspora refers to the communities of Armenians outside Armenia and other locations where Armenians are considered an indigenous population. Since antiquity, Armenians have established communities in many regions throughout the world. However, the modern Armenian diaspora was largely formed as a result of the Armenian Genocide of 1915, when the Armenians living in their ancestral homeland in eastern Turkey, known as Western Armenia to Armenians, were systematically exterminated by the Ottoman government.

The term "Armenian Question", as used in European history, became commonplace among diplomatic circles and in the popular press after the Congress of Berlin in 1878. As with the Eastern Question, it refers to Europe's involvement with the Armenian subjects of the Ottoman Empire, beginning with the Russo-Turkish War of 1877–78. In specific terms, the Armenian question refers to the protection and the freedoms of Armenians from their neighboring communities. The "Armenian Question" explains the 40 years of Armenian-Ottoman history in the context of English, German, and Russian politics between 1877–1914. The term "Armenian Question" is also often used to refer to the question of Turkey's lack of acknowledgement of the events surrounding the Armenian Genocide. Armenian Question is also a high school subject in some schools of Armenia.

In October 1998, Yeritasard Hayastan moved to Yerevan, and poet Manuel Adamian was the editor. [2] Then, from 1999 to October 2003, it was published by the Armenian Social Democrat Hunchakian Party (editors - Armine Sargsyan, Serj Melkumyan), separated from the main SDHP and its Armenian branch. Each issue contained 8 pages.
