[2][3][4] Barouyr Yeretsian served as the editor of Gantch.

[1] Gantch covered political, social and cultural issues.

[5] It provided extensive coverage of the Soviet Union and the Armenian SSR[5] and propagated fraternity of Arab and Armenian peoples, anti-imperialism and anti-Zionism.

In its stead, the Communist Party began publishing Azkayin Mshagouyt («Ազգային Մշակույթ», "National Culture").

Gantch was relaunched in 1996,[1] and was closed down in November 2006, two months after the death of Yeretsian.
