Our Mission
Zmruxt.com is an Armenian culture, heritage, media, education, and community platform created to connect Armenians in Armenia and throughout the diaspora.
Our mission is to help preserve and share Armenian culture, history, language, traditions, music, food, faith, community life, and contemporary Armenian experiences.
We aim to make Armenian stories and resources accessible to readers of different ages, backgrounds, and levels of Armenian-language knowledge.
Zmruxt seeks to serve as a bridge between Armenians around the world and their cultural roots while providing a welcoming space for learning, discovery, and community connection.
Original Content
Zmruxt publishes original articles, features, guides, educational material, videos, commentary, interviews, and other editorial content.
Original content may be created by:
- Zmruxt editors;
- contributors;
- writers;
- researchers;
- video creators;
- community members;
- invited professionals;
- or other collaborators.
We aim to publish material that is useful, informative, culturally relevant, and respectful.
Whenever practical, factual claims involving history, culture, institutions, people, or current events should be supported by reliable sources.
External and Third-Party Content
Zmruxt also features or embeds content produced by third parties.
This may include:
- YouTube videos;
- podcasts;
- news reports;
- cultural programs;
- educational resources;
- interviews;
- documentaries;
- community announcements;
- and other external media.
When third-party content is displayed, the original creator, publisher, or platform retains responsibility for that content.
The inclusion of third-party content on Zmruxt does not necessarily mean that Zmruxt agrees with or endorses all views, statements, opinions, or conclusions expressed by the original publisher.
Third-party material is generally included because it may be relevant to Armenian culture, history, community life, education, current events, or the interests of the Armenian diaspora.
Source Attribution
Zmruxt believes in identifying original sources whenever reasonably possible.
For externally produced material, we aim to provide appropriate attribution such as:
- publisher name;
- author or creator;
- original video channel;
- original publication;
- source link;
- or embedded content from the original platform.
When a Zmruxt article relies substantially on external research, publications, reports, historical sources, or other reference material, we aim to identify relevant sources when appropriate.
If you believe content on Zmruxt has been incorrectly attributed, please contact us so we can review the issue.
News and Political Content
Zmruxt may publish or feature news, public-affairs content, commentary, interviews, and discussions concerning Armenia, the Armenian diaspora, regional affairs, and international developments affecting Armenians.
Our goal is to provide information and context rather than direct readers toward a particular political choice.
We aim to:
- distinguish reporting from opinion;
- identify commentary or opinion where appropriate;
- attribute claims and viewpoints to their sources;
- avoid presenting political opinion as established fact;
- provide relevant context;
- correct significant factual errors;
- and clearly identify externally produced political commentary.
Views expressed by third-party commentators, interviewees, video creators, or external publishers belong to those individuals or organizations and do not necessarily represent the views of Zmruxt.
Cultural and Historical Content
Armenian history and culture can include subjects that are complex, disputed, or interpreted differently by different scholars and communities.
Where meaningful disagreement exists, Zmruxt aims to distinguish:
- established historical information;
- scholarly interpretation;
- tradition or oral history;
- community belief;
- and contemporary opinion.
We aim to present Armenian heritage respectfully while avoiding unnecessary distortion, exaggeration, or unsupported historical claims.
Corrections Policy
Accuracy matters to Zmruxt.
If we discover a meaningful factual error, we aim to correct it as soon as reasonably practical.
Corrections may include:
- updating inaccurate information;
- correcting names, dates, locations, or quotations;
- replacing incorrect images;
- correcting source attribution;
- updating outdated links;
- clarifying confusing wording;
- or adding important context.
Minor spelling, grammar, formatting, or style corrections may be made without a formal correction notice.
For substantial corrections, Zmruxt may add an editor’s note or correction notice when appropriate.
Readers who believe they have found an error are encouraged to contact us through our Contact Us page.
AI-Assisted Content
Zmruxt may use artificial-intelligence tools to assist with certain parts of the editorial and production process.
AI tools may be used for purposes such as:
- research assistance;
- brainstorming;
- translation assistance;
- grammar and spelling review;
- summarization;
- formatting;
- image concepts;
- transcription;
- SEO assistance;
- content organization;
- and drafting support.
AI-assisted material should not automatically be treated as verified fact.
When AI tools are used, we aim to review the resulting content before publication and make reasonable efforts to check important factual claims.
Final editorial responsibility for content published by Zmruxt remains with Zmruxt and its editors or contributors.
AI tools should not be intentionally used to fabricate quotations, sources, events, people, or historical facts.
Translation and Language
Because Zmruxt serves an international Armenian audience, content may appear in Armenian, English, Russian, or other languages.
Some translations may be assisted by automated translation or AI tools.
Although we aim for accuracy, translations may occasionally contain differences in meaning, terminology, or cultural nuance.
Readers who notice a translation error are encouraged to contact us.

Copyright and Intellectual Property
Zmruxt respects the intellectual-property rights of creators, publishers, photographers, filmmakers, writers, musicians, and other rights holders.
We aim to use:
- original content;

Advertising Independence
Zmruxt may receive revenue from:
- advertisements;
- sponsorships;
- partnerships;
- affiliate relationships;
- promotional campaigns;
- or other commercial arrangements.
Commercial relationships should not determine the factual conclusions of our editorial content.
Advertisers and sponsors do not automatically receive control over unrelated editorial coverage.
Where a commercial relationship materially relates to content, Zmruxt aims to disclose that relationship when appropriate.
Sponsored Content
Paid or sponsored material should be identified clearly enough that readers can distinguish it from independent editorial content.
Labels may include:
- Sponsored;
- Advertisement;
- Paid Partnership;
- Partner Content;
- Promotional Content;
- or similar wording.
Sponsored content may still be reviewed for relevance, legality, accuracy, and compatibility with the mission of Zmruxt.
The presence of advertising does not necessarily mean Zmruxt endorses every claim made by an advertiser.
Affiliate Links
Some Zmruxt pages may contain affiliate links.
If a visitor purchases a product or service through an affiliate link, Zmruxt may receive a commission or referral fee.
Where appropriate, affiliate relationships will be disclosed.
Our goal is to recommend or feature products, services, resources, or businesses that may be relevant to our audience rather than allowing affiliate compensation alone to determine editorial selection.
Content Updates
Some articles may be updated after publication.
Updates may occur when:
- new information becomes available;
- facts change;
- links stop working;
- better sources become available;
- a reader identifies an error;
- or an older guide needs to be refreshed.
The original publication date or updated date may be displayed where appropriate.

We reserve the right to remove content that includes:
- spam;
- threats;
- harassment;
- unlawful material;
- personal attacks;
- discriminatory abuse;
- impersonation;
- malicious links;
- or material unrelated to the discussion.
The opinions expressed by users or commenters belong to those users and do not necessarily represent Zmruxt.
Editorial Independence
Zmruxt aims to make editorial decisions based on:
- relevance to Armenian audiences;
- cultural and educational value;
- public interest;
- accuracy;
- usefulness;
- quality;
- and community interest.
Editorial decisions should not be based solely on pressure from advertisers, sponsors, political organizations, outside groups, or commercial partners.
