The project’s mission is also to increase the public’s resilience to manipulation and information interference, and to counter disinformation targeting Armenia and its partners.

It has been set up as part of TVP’s International Media Centre financed from public funds at the disposal of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. This is the next stage in the development of a multilingual news service intended for audiences in the Eastern Partnership countries.

The launch of the service marks an expansion of VT (formerly “Vot Tak”), which, following the addition of a Romanian-language programming for Moldova in February 2026, now broadcasts content in three languages. The VT Hayastan News team is composed of Armenian journalists including Razmik Martirosyan, Harutyun Voskanyan, and Nune Gevorgian, who also represents the large Armenian diaspora.

TVP’s International Media Centre expands its offering into other languages in response to the growing information pressure on the countries which cooperate with the EU under the Eastern Partnership. Next language projects are underway.

The programming will be aired on the Belsat channel, from Monday to Friday, and made available on YouTube and Facebook.
