Haratch

The newspaper was famous for attracting high-profile names in Armenian literature and journalism, including Shahan Shahnour, Schavarch Nartouni, Zareh Vorpuni, Hrach Zartarian, Nshan Beshiktashlian, and Hrant Samuel.

After the migration of Armenians from the area of Musa Dagh (incorporated to Turkey in 1938) to Lebanon, who settled in the area of Anjar, Lebanon, in 1940, the initiative and efforts of editor Schavarch Missakian organized a contribution campaign among Armenians living in France.

As a result, the "Haratch" Elementary School was built next to the newly established St. Paul church in the village.

In 1976 Haratch added a monthly supplement of literature and the arts, entitled Midk yèv Arvest (Armenian: Միտք եւ Արուեստ).

Due to decreasing readership (circulation in the last years had fallen to less than one thousand copies), Arpik Missakian, owner and editor-in-chief, decided to close it down.
