Armenian Online Journals

A list of Armenia(n) related blogs or online journals.

Introduction to the Armenian blogosphere

Since the 2001 creation of a blogging section on Cilica.com Armenian blogs have gone a long way and today sport a variety of content, themes, frequency, platforms and language versions.

In the article by the AGBU entitled: "ARMENIAN BLOGS HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY: IS ANYONE LISTENING?" the author writes about the Armenian blogs:

...a crop of Armenian blogs is emerging to suggest that the blogosphere (as the blog world is called) promises to make a growing impact in the future. From politics to personal stories, blogs are as varied as their authors. While some strive for professionalism and others flounder in navel-gazing, the energy derived from their diversity is what makes blogs some of the best sources of up-to-date information today.
