Haykakan Zhamanak (Armenian: Հայկական Ժամանակ, Armenian Times) is a daily newspaper in Armenian published in Yerevan, Armenia, since 1999. It is a follow up of the daily newspaper Oragir (Օրագիր) established in 1998 and shut down by the Armenian government during its clamp-down on opposition. Armenian journalist Nikol Pashinyan was the long serving editor-in-chief of Haykakan Zhamanak from 1999 until 2008, when Pashinyan went underground and then was imprisoned for his political activism․ On December 23, 1999 Pashinyan was beaten by a "gang" of dozen men who were reportedly led by a local businessman who was angered by an article in Haykakan Zhamanak that accused him of corruption. In 2004 Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty described the newspaper as "sympathetic to Armenia’s former leadership [Ter-Petrosyan's government], is known for its hard-hitting coverage of President Robert Kocharian and his government."
