The magazine focuses on Armenia and the Armenian communities of South America

In April 2015, AGBU Buenos Aires’ Liga de Jóvenes [Youth Group] published the latest issue of Generación 3, a biannual Spanish-language magazine relating to Armenia and the Armenian diaspora, focusing specifically on the Armenian communities of South America.

The April issue focused on the Armenian Genocide, including a report on the current atmosphere in Turkey regarding the rights of minorities, an article on films about the Armenian Genocide from 1902 to the present and a list of projects, websites and cultural events launched in honor of the centenary of the Armenian Genocide. The issue was also comprised of an exclusive interview with chess champion Levon Aronian, an overview of the growing IT industry in Armenia and highlights from TEDxYerevan events.

“This issue turned out to be an interesting mix of past, present and future: while it is our duty as Armenians to be aware of our history, at the same time we are witnessing the rise of a new generation of Armenian citizens who are leaders in their fields. This fills us with pride and hope for the future,” says Lusiné Sarafian, one of the newest members of the editorial staff.  

Three thousand copies of each issue of Generación 3 are distributed free of charge to Armenians in Buenos Aires, Córdoba, Rosario, Mendoza and Mar del Plata, among other cities in Argentina, as well as in Montevideo, Uruguay and Santiago, Chile. The volunteer editorial team is composed entirely of alumni of the AGBU Marie Manoogian Institute in Buenos Aires, who invite special contributors to share their expertise and opinions on the fields of architecture, history, culture and science. “We are all third generation Armenians and our aim is to reach our generation not only with fascinating stories about our country and our identity, but also with an appealing design,” says Sirún Balian, one of the magazine’s designers.

Previous issues of Generación 3 have featured stories on volunteerism in Armenia, gender inequality, youth-oriented initiatives such as the TUMO Center for Creative Technologies in Yerevan and Armenian communities in Portugal, India, and Poland as well as news about AGBU Buenos Aires and Argentinean Armenians.
