Armenian press in Ukraine faces funding problems
Media is one of the most important components in the activity of Diaspora institutions. However, Armenian periodicals in Ukraine are currently facing funding problems. As reported by Ukrainian post, «Armyanski Vestnik» with 171 subscribers is a the most popular periodical; «Aragats» (157 subscribers) and «Kanch» come next.
In 2008, «Armyanski Vestnik» had 366 subscribers, but it already faced funding problems since it is printed on a different kind of paper requiring high quality polygraphic standards. The newspaper is now published in Odessa. Besides the periodicals above, there are also several journals (such as «Armyanski Vestnik») which will be published only in case of receiving financial support. «Golub Masisa» is the only journal published regularly every three months (500 copies) and disseminated free of charge.
