How Armenia goes online

Yerevan news has a habit of arriving in a Telegram channel before it reaches a website. Someone screenshots a statement, adds a line of commentary, and within minutes the whole group chat is arguing about it. Facebook and WhatsApp still do the social work: birthdays, family calls, the usual coordination. Local bank apps handle bill payments and transfers, and they are often the first place people notice a change in exchange rates. Russian-language platforms fill in the gaps for maps and taxis, a sign of how closely the region trades with Russia.

Around 80%. With a population of about 3 million and 2.4 million online, roughly 600 thousand people are still offline — mostly because of rural coverage, device cost and age.
