Abstract
In Syria, the Armenian press has developed mainly in Aleppo. Armenian life in this city is a matter of centuries, with its beginnings in the 15th century. The Armenian Church of «Karasnitz Mangantz» dates from this century. A substantial increase of the Armenians in Aleppo occurred during the early second part of the 19th century. In 1915, the genocide and the forced deportations perpetrated by the Turks resulted in tens of thousands of Armenians taking refuge in Aleppo.
The first Armenian newspaper in Aleppo, AL-FURAT, was published by the Ottoman government, in the years 1869-1870. From 1915 down to the present time, 75 publications — newspapers, weeklies, monthlies, periodicals, year books, etc. — have been issued at different times, in the Armenian language. Yeprad (daily newspaper 1929-1949), Arevelk (daily newspaper, 1946-1960), and Nayiri (literary monthly) are the worthiest representatives of the Armenian press in Syria.
At present, four Armenian periodicals are issued in Aleppo.
