Diego Karamanukyan, director of "Radio Araks" of Uruguay, is in Armenia. The journalist expressed his concern about Armenia-Uruguay relations. "Azerbaijan has an Ambassador in Uruguay, and Armenia does not. The distance is too big to establish economic ties, but cultural relations, tourism can be developed instead." There are 15 thousand Armenians in Uruguay, two Armenian schools, but the cultural life is not active. The Armenian community is in uncertainty, the Armenian organizations are closing and the events are decreasing. Despite this, Diego Karamanukyan said that there is an Armenian musical identity in Uruguay. "There are people in Uruguay who do not know any Armenian word, but listen to Armenian songs. "Radio Araks" used to be broadcast every day, and today it is broadcast only on weekends, because the local Armenians do not have power, there is nobody, no advertisement." Details in the video
