The march, organized by the IARA (Armenian Institutions of the Argentine Republic), is also replicated in other cities of the country, such as Cordoba, Rosario, La Plata, Mar del Plata, Rio Gallegos, Bariloche and Neuquén.

"No to a new genocide,
which is being perpetrated 105 years after the Armenian Genocide carried out by the Turkish-Ottoman Empire in which one and a half million Armenians were killed," they said in the convocation.
As of 4:00 p.m., families began to arrive in front of Aeroparque, on Av Costanera, in their cars listening to typical Armenian music and waving their flags.
Conversations between older people take place in that typical language that mixes Armenian with “porteño”.

“Concern and hope
are two sides of the same coin in this march.
Our marches also show diversity.
The immigrants bring their customs, closer to the oriental and here they mix with people of different ages, most of them born here, with local customs.
We are diverse and we are one ”, they said in a statement.
With this action, the Armenian community, with Armenian immigrants, Argentine descendants of Armenians and Argentine friends descended from other nationalities, seeks to repudiate the attacks on Armenia and the Nagorno-Karabakh region by Azerbaijan assisted by Turkey.
