Armenian-language press.

The Armenian press in France (in Armenian Ֆրանսահայ մամուլ) or Armenian-language press in France includes periodicals such as newspapers and literary magazines published by members of the Armenian diaspora in France.

History

To date, more than 200 Armenian-language periodicals have been published in France, mostly in Western Armenian.

19th century

The first journal was Maciats Aghavni [fr] (Մասեաց աղաւնի, "The Dove of Massis," 1855-1858 in Paris, then until 1865 in Theodosia) by Father Gabriel Aïvazian (1812-1880, brother of Ivan Aivazovsky), which aimed to promote the cultural, scientific, and moral education of the people. Shortly thereafter, Pariz (Փարիզ, "Paris", 1860-1864) was published. At the same time, Arevelk [fr] (Արեւելք, "Orient," 1855-1856) and Arevmoudk [fr] (Արեւմուտք, "Occident, " 1859 and 1864-1865) by Stepan Voskan [fr] (1825-1901), which espoused a militant and nationalist vision inspired by the Risorgimento. Voskan sought to spread ideas of economic and social progress and ideals of freedom inspired by French political struggles.

With the rise to power of Sultan Abdul Hamid II in 1876 and the Hamidian massacres (1894-1896), which severely affected Armenians in the Ottoman Empire, France received many refugees, especially political ones. Among them were writers such as Minas Tchéraz [fr], who published the monthly magazine L'Arménie [fr] (1889-1906, mainly in French), and Mekertich Portukalian, founder of the Armenagan Party, who published the newspaper Armenia [fr] (Արմենիա, 1885-1923) in Marseille.

At the end of the century, literary magazines like Anahit [fr] (Անահիտ) by Arshag Chobanian began to appear. Its first series (1898-1911) presented the literary works of writers such as Daniel Varoujan, Siamanto and even Komitas. A year after Anahit, the quarterly Panaser (Բանասեր, "The Philologist", 1899-1907) was launched.

First half of the 20th century

Editors of the Haratch newspaper (February 1928, Paris): Chavarche Missakian, Armen Lubin, Nshan Beshiktashlian, Melkon Kebabdjian [fr], Chavarch Nartouni [fr] and Teotig.

By 1920, some 30 periodicals were published. Most were based in Paris, where a small and disorganized Armenian colony of fewer than 1,500 people existed.

Several periodicals appeared in the 1910s, including Haï-Guiank (Հայ-կեանք, "Armenian Life," 1913-1914), Khetan (Խթան, "Stimulus," 1915-1931, by Aram Turabian), Artzakank Parisi [fr] (Արձագանգ Փարիզի, "Echoes of Paris," 1916-1925), Veradzenount [fr] (Վերածնունդ, "Renaissance," 1917-1921), and Ayk (Այգ, "Dawn," 1919). These newspapers covered topics such as the Armenian Genocide and the establishment of the First Republic of Armenia.

The 1920s marked a significant increase in Armenian press activity in France, as refugees fleeing the genocide arrived in large numbers in 1922-1923. About 60 writers, intellectuals, journalists, and poets settled in Paris, along with many young people educated in Armenian schools, especially in Constantinople. These intellectuals established small independent printing presses, such as Araxes, Elekian, Bezazian, du Globe, de Navarre, Nersessian, Turabian, Der-Hagopian, and Le Soleil. About half a dozen of them operated continuously. They also opened bookstores, the most famous being Hrant Samuelian's bookstore, which opened in the Latin Quarter in 1930 after acquiring the inventory of an Armenian bookstore in Constantinople. During this period, described by Anahide Ter Minassian as a "cultural renaissance", 87 Armenian periodicals and thousands of books were published.

Second half of the 20th century

Meeting of intellectuals from the Armenian diaspora in France at Zareh Mutafian's studio in 1944. Among them were Arshag Chobanian, Marie Atmadjian [fr] and Dikran Tchitouni and his wife.

During World War II, most newspapers and magazines ceased publication as their staffs were mobilized, joined the resistance, or chose silence to avoid German censorship. Chavarche Missakian, for example, decided not to publish Haratch during the conflict. The publications resumed after the liberation.

Nowadays

By the 21st century, Armenian-language periodicals in France had all but disappeared. The last major daily, Haratch, closed in 2009 and was replaced by Nor Haratch in the same year.

This decline is largely attributed to the fact that the Armenian diaspora in France is mainly composed of second and third-generation Armenians who, for the most part, no longer speak Armenian, especially Western Armenian.

Currently, the main press of the Armenian diaspora in France is predominantly in French, with Nouvelles d'Arménie Magazine [fr] (1995-) and France Arménie [fr] (1982-) being the most notable publications. The few remaining Armenian-language publications are mostly church bulletins.
