Dolma Festival to be held in Zvartnots Museum-Reserve

Panorama, Armenia

The 10th edition of the Pan-Armenian Festival of Dolma will be held in the territory of Zvartnots Historical and Cultural Museum-Reserve on Sunday, May 22.

The event is organized by the Service for the Protection of Historical Environment and Cultural Museum-Reservations SNCO in cooperation with the Development and Preservation of Armenian Culinary Traditions NGO.

The SNCO reports that skilled cooks representing different organizations are set to take part in the festival. A competition will be held in three categories: best taste, best design and best idea, and the grand prize will be given to the absolute winner.

The festival will be accompanied by Armenian songs and dances.  

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
