Panorama.am marks 20th anniversary

Twenty years ago, in a modest 12-square-meter room far from Yerevan’s bustling center, Panorama.am began its journey as a news and analytical website.

Since its inception, the media outlet has stayed true to its guiding motto "Panorama.am: Your Trusted Source". Over two decades, the editorial team has remained faithful to this promise, often prioritizing accuracy and objectivity over speed, and integrity over popularity, attracting a discerning, educated and loyal readership that values credibility.

Despite limited human and technical resources, Panorama.am has consistently remained at the heart of all major developments, delivering only verified and reliable information amid losses, defeats and repression in recent years. The team continues to view its mission as timeless: to inform and enlighten the public, regardless of the circumstances.

In recent days, the editorial office has received dozens of congratulatory messages on its anniversary. Panorama.am expresses heartfelt gratitude to its devoted readers and partners for their appreciation and trust.

“In an era dominated by social media and overwhelming information flows, Panorama.am remains one of the few platforms that offers not only reliable daily news, but also impartial and comprehensive commentary and analysis,” wrote one reader. “It helps us make better decisions based on expert perspectives. This is invaluable and I’m glad that such a platform continues to exist in Armenia’s media landscape.”

Another longtime reader said: “For me, Panorama.am is not just a media outlet, but a fundamental and reliable source for research. In my work on Armenia’s territorial, economic, infrastructural, social, educational, and demographic issues, it has been indispensable, providing clarity, linguistic precision and excellent searchability. I’m certain the editorial team doesn’t realize how many studies and analyses have relied on their work over the years.”

A third message recalled the platform’s pioneering role: “When Panorama.am launched in 2005, it quickly became one of Armenia’s most influential and professional online platforms. For two decades, in Armenian, English, and Russian, it has defended the public’s right to be informed and protected from propaganda aggression, while nurturing the country’s intellectual potential. The platform has educated not only its readership, but also generations of journalists and public figures who continue to shape Armenia’s media and intellectual landscape.”

The Panorama.am team extends sincere gratitude to everyone who has contributed to its growth and resilience, standing by it through difficult times.

The official 20th anniversary celebration will take place at a later date, as the editorial team awaits the recovery of a beloved colleague who is currently fighting for life following a recent tragic accident.

With gratitude,
Panorama.am Team
