An Armenian newspaper has been launched in the disputed South Ossetia region, in order to serve the 23,000 person Armenian community in the region, Asbarez.com reported Tuesday.

The Erebuni Armenian National Cultural Company started the newspaper, which is now already two issues deep. The publication will address Armenian history and current public figures as well as daily news reporting on issues that affect the area's Armenian community.

"We hope that the newspaper will become a full and impartial information resource about the community life, will assist the re-birth of our people's Christian soul and national self-consciousness," said Erebuni Company President Vitali Litvinov.
