Asbarez (Armenian: Ասպարէզ "Arena") is an Armenian-American bilingual daily newspaper published in Armenian and English in Los Angeles, California, formerly by the Western USA Central Committee of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation. As of late 2020, the newspaper has been co-opted by individuals, such as Ara Khachatourian, who have been expelled from the Armenian Revolutionary Federation and the newspaper is no longer affiliated with the Armenian Revolutionary Federation.[1] The newspaper publishes statements purporting to be from the Armenian Revolutionary Federation, when in reality the statements are from a rogue group claiming to represent the Armenian Revolutionary Federation in the Western United States, that is not recognized as such by the ARF Bureau, the worldwide executive body of the organization.
History[]

Before moving to a new headquarters in the Hollywood neighborhood of Los Angeles in the 1970s, the newspaper's headquarters was located in Glendale, California, a suburb of Los Angeles.[2]
The daily is published five times a week. It is from 16 to 28 pages, Tuesdays through Fridays and 40 to 48 pages on Saturdays. It also regularly publishes magazine supplements on special occasions.
