About Activist Radio

Activist Radio (Armenian: Ashkhushak Radio) is an independent, civic-oriented online radio platform based in the capital city of Yerevan, Armenia, that focuses on activism, civil rights, human rights, and social issues rather than just music entertainment. It is often categorized as “eclectic” or “social/activist,” focusing on alternative music, social issues, and potentially human rights-related commentary. The station’s name literally translates from Armenian to “Activist,” reflecting its mission to give a voice to those working toward social and political change. Activist Radio serves a more niche, grassroots purpose, often appealing to a younger or more socially conscious demographic looking for content outside the mainstream state or commercial media. The station was to create an open public forum for discussion, where activists, experts, and ordinary citizens could freely share ideas, debate issues, and unpack the societal challenges facing Armenia.
