    YEREVAN. - A dolma festival will be held at Armenia's Sardarapat
    Memorial on July 11 at 6pm, Chairman Sedrak Mamulyan of the
    `Development and Preservation of Armenian Culinary Traditions' NGO,
    which is the event organizer, told Armenian News-NEWS.am.

    He informed that during the festival 18-20 pavilions will introduce
    their dolmas and the jury will decide the best dolma maker, who will
    receive a clay cup as present.

    High level guests and renowned personalities also will attend the event.

    The objective of organizing such festival is to make Armenia more
    appealing for tourists, to introduce traditional Armenian cuisine to
    wider masses, and to introduce dolma as a truly Armenian dish.

    `Dolma is completely and solely an Armenian dish,' said Sedrak Mamulyan.

    In his words, if dolma is made from grape leaves and the Armenian
    people have lived in the areas where grapes grow, how could dolma
    belong to another nation?
