[2] The Armenian community in Uruguay is one of the oldest communities in South America, with most of them residing in the capital Montevideo. HistoryOne of the Armenian diaspora's smaller communities, Armenians in Uruguay are concentrated mostly in the capital city, Montevideo. Many of them are third- or even fourth-generation descendants of the first wave of immigrants coming from the Ottoman Empire between the end of the 19th century and the Armenian Genocide.[3] The Armenian General Benevolent Union (AGBU) established a chapter in Uruguay in 1939[4] and inaugurated a community center complex in 1953.[1] Recognition of the Armenian Genocide by various world parliaments was spearheaded by Uruguay's Parliament, when in 1965 it became the first country in the world to recognize the Genocide.[5] The Parliament has subsequently consistently supported various resolutions in favor of the Armenians.[6]CommunityBetween 1974 and 1975, the AGBU Uruguay Chapter established an educational center which was completed in two phases: first to be completed was the Nubarian Elementary School in honor of the founder of AGBU, Boghos Nubar; then came the Alex Manoogian High School, named after the then AGBU President. The Armenians are very active in the arts. Alvaro Hagopian is the conductor of the Montevideo Philharmonic Orchestra. Also operating is the "Gayane" Dance Group, which belongs to the Armenian National Center. Two long-running radio programs, "Radio Armenia" and "Radio Gomidas," were founded in 1935. The former was closed in 2007 and replaced by "Radio Arax." "Radio Gomidas" continues broadcasting to this day. Montevideo has a public square named Armenia. The Uruguayan Government also has a minister (and former member of Parliament) of Armenian origin, Liliam Kechichian. ReligionMost Armenians belong to the Armenian Apostolic Church. The main center is the Armenian Church of Montevideo, Uruguay ({{lang-es|Iglesia Armenia del Uruguay}}). This church has a memorial statue by sculptor Nerses Ounanian, dedicated to the victims of the Armenian Genocide. There is also a significant presence of Armenian Catholics and Armenian Evangelicals. The main Armenian places of worship in Montevideo are:
