Armenians in Lebanon

==Media==
"Pyunik" ({{lang-hy|Փիւնիկ}}) was the first Armenian newspaper in Lebanon renamed ''Nor Pyunik'' ({{lang-hy|Նոռ Փիւնիկ}}). In 1924, the newspaper ''Lipanan'' ({{lang-hy|Լիբանան}}) was published. In 1927, ''Aztag'' replaced ''Nor Punik''.

===Press: Dailies===
There are three Armenian daily newspapers published in Beirut all mouthpieces of the traditional Armenian political parties (Tashnag, Hunchag and Ramgavar). 
*''[[Aztag (daily)|Aztag]]'' ({{lang-hy|Ազդակ}}), a daily newspaper that speaks on behalf of the [[Armenian Revolutionary Federation]] – Tashnag and was established in 1927. It also published an online English version and an online Arabic supplement.

From the defunct Armenian political newspapers besides ''Pyunik'' in the 1920s, one should mention the independent non-partisan newspaper ''[[Ayk (daily)|Ayk]]'' ({{lang-hy|Այգ}}) (after decades of publishing in Armenian, the licence owner Lucie Tosbat sold it to ''Monday Morning'' Publishing Group and ''Ayk'' started publishing as an English-language daily renamed ''[[Ike (daily)|Ike]]'' before folding.) ''Ayk'' daily's Lebanese-Armenian publishers Dikran and Lucie Tosbat also published the French language ''Le Soir''.

Special mention should also be made for the Armenian leftist daily newspaper ''[[Joghovourti Tsayn]]'' ({{lang-hy|Ժողովուրդի Ձայն}} meaning Voice of the People) which had a short span of publication but remained influential during its span of publication. {{citation needed|date=October 2013}}

===Radio===
The Lebanese state radio established very early on daily radio broadcasts in Armenian through its second channel consecrated to broadcasting in languages (mainly French and English). That programming goes on to date on [[Radio Lebanon|Radio Liban]]. During the civil war, the Lebanese Armenians established a great number of unlicensed radio stations (some non-stop for 24 hours a day). The pioneer was the popular radio station "Radio Paradise" and later on "Vana Tsayn" (Voice of Van). However, with the Lebanese Parliament enacting laws organizing the airwaves, all the unlicensed stations (alongside the other Lebanese stations) had to close. They were replaced by two operating and fully licensed radio stations operating in Armenian in Lebanon in accordance with the new broadcast laws – "Voice of Van" and "Radio Sevan". {{citation needed|date=October 2013}}

===Television===
Lebanese private stations and state-owned [[Tele-Liban]] have consecrated occasionally television programming in Armenian on certain occasions. During the Lebanese civil war, an Armenian television station "Paradise Television" co-operated with "Radio Paradise" was established through a broadcast tower in Bourj Hammoud. But "Paradise Television" Armenian television station had to close after it failed to get a broadcasting licence according to the new laws organizing the airwaves. Al Mustaqbal Television (also known as [[Future Television]]) and [[OTV (Lebanon)|OTV]] broadcast daily 30-minutes news and comments in Armenian in their regular programming schedule. {{Clarify|date=October 2013}}
