Artsakh culture with all its manifestations gets special attention especially in the current situation, after the war unleashed by Azerbaijan against the Republic of Artsakh in 2020.

The art of carpet making needs a special care in the sense that it repeatedly finds itself, so to speak, in the spotlight of the Azerbaijani agitprop as well.

The Artsakh Public TV reports that the results of the 5th national contest Artsakh Carpet Art have recently been summed up in Stepanakert. Incidentally, representatives of Hadrut were among the most active participants.

“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
