    AGBU LAUNCHES ONLINE ARARAT MAGAZINE

    Armenian Weekly Staff
    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.
