    YEREVAN, AUGUST 26, NOYAN TAPAN. "Traditional Delicacies" event was
    organized at Yerevan's Marriott Hotel on August 26 by the clubs of the
    Youth Program of the Center for Agribusiness and Rural Development
    (CARD) Foundation. The best youth clubs of ten Armenian marzes
    (provinces) presented the traditional delicacies of their regions. The
    event was accompanied by songs and dancing.

    Anna Karapetian, an expert of the Foundation's youth and gender
    programs, said that the purpose of the event is to promote
    the restoration and preservation of Armenian cuisine and
    traditions. According to her, there are 110 youth clubs in our
    country. Their membership numbers 2,000: children aged 11-16. The
    Foundation implements many other programs for the youth: programs of
    language teaching, agribusiness, professional orientation.

    The U.S. Charge D'Affaires in Armenia Joseph Pennington said that
    the members of youth clubs have made a great contribution to the
    preservation of Armenian traditions and culture. In his words,
    the program allows young people from rural settlements to mix and
    establish links with each other.

    The presentation of the book "Armenian National Cuisine" took place
    during the event.
