Festival," said Alec Baghdasaryan. "We believe every participating
student was a winner given the opportunity to visit Shushi, form
friendships and to listen to other students as well as Armenia's poetry
stars perform." Tours were organized for participating students to
visit Gandzasar, Tigranakert, Stepanakert, Shushi Ghazanchecoc churh
and other touristic sites in Artsakh.

Shushi to its past glory as a cultural center for Armenians by taking
on projects which will contribute to development of Shushi as a
cultural center. We believe that our Poetry Festival is a fitting
event to be conducted in Shushi annually. We are committed to the
continued success of this project and energized with this year's
success will work with other Diaspora schools and organizations,
to expand the list of countries participating in the future poetry
festivals. Our goal is to expand the festival in coming years to
include students from Diaspora schools as contest participants as well
as guest presenters from around the world to enrich the program. Avan
Ishkhan Partnership projects include development of the Avan Shushi
Plaza Hotel, the Eastern Shouka (Bazzar), the Eastern Bath as well
as many other historic buildings in the heart of Shushi.
