More Than 5,000 People Attended an Armenian Festival in Buenos Aires

Agencia Prensa Armenia

The “Buenos Aires Celebrates Armenia” festival organized by the
Armenian community drew more than 5,000 people in Belgrano, Buenos
Aires, on Saturday November 29.

With booths where you could taste the typical dishes such as “shish
kebab” or learn about the ancient history and culture, the residents
of Buenos Aires shared a day of shows and performances of Armenian
dances, as well as a presentation of the Symphony of the City of
Buenos Aires.

Hugo Kuyumdjian, member of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation in
Buenos Aires, said that “the art and culture displayed was the same
that the Turkish state tried to eliminate one hundred years ago, along
with the one and a half million Armenians massacred.” That’s why the
organizers distributed pots with the Forget-Me-Not flower, the symbol
of the Armenian Genocide Centenary.
