Bravo, Hovsep jan. A terrifically informative and inspiring roundup. You are a superb ambassador for Armenia!
As a Peace Corps volunteer in rural Armenia 2011-2013, I quickly became immersed into Armenia’s rich culture. When my California family came to visit, they were also welcomed and treated as special guests. These wonderful festival pictures reminded me of the good times I experienced including the diverse art, dancing and social singing. I greatly enjoyed all aspects, but especially the warm hearted and generous Armenians. Tourist must put rural Armenia on its must-see list, you will not regret it.
Well done, Ouspo.
Your reference to Ijevan brought to mind what Fred Randolph told me about
Nakhichevan. See my account in Armeniapedia.org which I will send you under separate over.
