The 7th Annual "Honey and Berry Festival'' was held in Berd city of Tavush region. The festival is a unique event for the region (which includes Berd city and the surrounding 16 villages), if not the only one, which changes the atmosphere for 1-2 days, turning the locals' everyday life into a holiday.
-Berd City is a crucial shield for Armenia against the enemies. It is a great honor for all of us to perform for our compatriots. Special thanks to Hayk Chobanyan for the organization of this event.
The participation in this annual event is a part of our mission. The Nova Ensemble led by Artistic Director Hovik Sahakyan and the soloists through their hour-long program will convey pure, authentic Armenian folk melodies and songs, and the Njdeh Folk Dance Group will present Armenian folk dances inviting the people to join them. Enjoy …, - said Naregatsi Art Institute founder Nareg Hartounian.
