`Development and Preservation of Armenian Culinary Traditions' NGO,

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?
