Tue, Jun 29 2010
The Armenian General Benevolent Union (AGBU) recently
launched the electronic version of Ararat Magazine-online at
www.araratmagazine.org-to engage more readers of different demographics
and provide the features that make online dialogue between readers
possible today. 2010 marks the 50-year anniversary of the magazine,
features documentary photos on poverty in Armenia, Armenian literature
in translation, and new columns.
"In its 50-year history, Ararat became not only the premier magazine
of Armenian American literature but also covered many aspects of
Armenian history and culture," says editor Aris Sevag. "As such, it
represents a valuable repository of materials for the study of these
topics by scholars. Its collections constitute a unique holding in
many public and private libraries across the United States. It is
our hope and intention to not only continue this exalted tradition
but expand and enrich it in the coming years."
Ararat will be adding a number of columns to the publication,
including one that explores the culinary traditions of Armenians,
written by Robyn and Doug Kalajian of the popular food blog
www.TheArmenianKitchen.com, and another by Simon Maghakyan of
Blogian.net, who will write about discussions and controversies taking
place in the online Armenian world.
