YEREVAN, JULY 6, NOYAN TAPAN. On the initiative of the "One Nation,
One Culture" fund the first cultural festival under the title "Let's
Keep Our Culture" will be held in Armenia and Artsakh. The festival's
solemn opening will take place on July 8 in the town of Metsamor of
Armavir region. As Tamar Poghosian, fund's Executive Director,
reported at the July 6 press conference, the festival will last 5
months and will be held by 3 stages. The first stage envisages events
in Armavir, Ararat, Syunik regions and Vayots Dzor, the second stage
in Kotayk, Gegharkunik, Tavush regions, the third in Aragatsotn,
Shirak and Lori regions. Various events with the participation of the
best singers and dance groups, an exhibition-sale of paintings and
books will be organized within the framework of the festival and
people living in Armenian regions will have an opportunity to meet
with cultural figures. T.Poghosian informed that the festival's
general fund makes 4 mln drams (nearly 9 thousand dollars) "Today
cultural events are only held in Yerevan and such events have been
seldom held in Armenian regions for 10-15 years. Our goal is to export
culture to the regions and doing so, to keep the Armenian culture with
a history of thousands of years," T.Poghosian mentioned. According to
her, "first of all we should keep the things wen have and only then
think about development of culture." T.Poghosian also presented the
results of fund's activity. According to her, the fund established a
year ago has carried out considerable work in Yerevan and regions. The
fund assisted to the holding of the "One Nation, One Culture" first
pan-Armenian cultural festival, organized different events in regions,
pilgrimage to Varagavank and so on. The fund is already preparing for
the "One Nation, One Culture" second pan-Armenian festival to be held
next year.
