About
Hello and welcome to ianyan magazine, your premiere independent Armenian publication. Ianyan first started as an idea that lay dormant in our minds for a number of years. Like all good things however, the idea finally came to fruition. We here at ianyan aim to bring you what so many Armenian publications have failed to do: objective news, features and storytelling that you can appreciate. This is not your medzbaba’s newspaper. There is no propaganda here. We not only seek the truth and report it, we bring you Armenian news from around the world, for both young and old generations and for your non-Armenian friends as well.
For more about ianyan, listen to our interview with Global Voices.
Ianyan was named simply for the fact that no matter where you go in the world, Armenians can be identified by the last three letters of their last name. We hope to connect stories with readers using these six letters, just like our last names have for hundreds of years.

Found this link on Google-Alert Armenia. It’s a great site that I will share with friends and family. Very refreshing!! One thing you forgot to mention: when Aunt Voula exclaims, “You don’t eat no meat?”, there’s a plate that crashes to the floor in the background. So funny!! For years I have wanted to start some sort of website or blog. Every day, I read about Armenians doing unusual things or see funny reference to Armenians (like your Gene Simmons PSA — so great), and think it would be fun to share these with a larger audience. I think that your “In the Nose” section would be perfect to post the little tidbits that I come acros. How can I send you the text/info about Armenians in the nose/news?
