Armenian beginning from tomorrow on, editor-in-chief of “Golos Armenii”
Flora Nakhshkaryan reported.

“Over the 15 years of activity, the editorial staff has received a
pile of letters with the wish to read the newspaper in Armenian. This
was the editorial staff’s desire. However, according to her,
implementation of these was impeded by numerous obstacles, first of
all, the financial one.

“Finally, though some problems have not been solved, we started
implementation of our long-standing goal. From now on the Armenian

language,” she said.
