Ria Taza was a Kurdish-language newspaper published in Yerevan, Armenia. The newspaper was founded in March 1930 and the first issue was published on 25 March 1930, printed in Kurmanji Kurdish with the newly Latinised alphabet of Shemo Margulov. It was the organ of the Kurdish section of the Communist Party of Armenia, and was produced under the auspices of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Armenia and the Supreme Council and the Council of Ministers of the Armenian SSR. At the time, it was a four-page newspaper, published twice every week and with a circulation of 600 copies. Prior to the Kurdish linguist and author Cerdoyê Genco taking over as editor in 1934, the newspaper was run by three Armenians born in Western Armenia: Kevork Paris, Hrachya Kochar and Harutyun Mkrtchyan, who knew Kurdish. Publication was discontinued in 1937.
