Aravot (Armenian: «Առավոտ», "Morning") is a leading[6][7] liberal[2][3] and politically independent daily newspaper based in Yerevan, Armenia.

Some hold it was the newspaper's long-time editor Aram Abrahamyan,[2] others believe it was the controversial Interior Minister Vano Siradeghyan,[9] while still others refer to a general "editorial staff".

[11] Sources generally agree that Aravot was supportive of President Levon Ter-Petrosyan (1991-1998) and his liberal party Pan-Armenian National Movement (HHSh),[12][13][6] although it gave space to different points of view.

"[15] Following the deadly 2008 presidential election protests, Aravot was prevented by security forces from being published according to a March 1 state of emergency decree signed by outgoing President Kocharyan.

[10] Military analyst Vahram Mirakyan praised Aravot for being more balanced in their articles about the Armenian Army than other independent or opposition newspapers.
