As a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter came to know from the Armenian community in Istanbul, the number of Turkish journalists has increased while editor-in-chief Etienne Mahchupyan doesn't know Armenian well. As to another Istanbul based Zhamanak newspaper, the staff fully supports Armenia's first president Levon Ter-Petrosyan and never publishes positive articles about Armenia.

Now, it completely surrendered to the Turkish pressure," the source said. Zhamanak was founded in 1908. It's owned by the family of Kochunyans.
