It was initially published twice a week (every Tuesday and Friday).

In 2010 it started to be published thrice a week (every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday).

Nor Haratch was founded in 2009 in response to the closing of the independent daily Haratch, the longest-running French-Armenian publication, founded by Schavarch Missakian in 1925 and continued by his daughter Arpik Missakian since 1957, whose last issue appeared with the date May 30–31, 2009.

The editorial staff included Haroutiun Gobelian (Executive Editor), Jiraïr Tcholakian (Director of Publication), Nora Baroutjian and Aram Kerovpyan,[1] and correspondents in Armenia and the Middle East.

A French language weekly supplement, entitled Hebdo Nor Haratch, was added in 2011.
