FOLK GAMES AND THEIR FOLKLORIC COMPONENTS IN THE TRADITIONAL CULTURE OF NAGORNO-KARABAKH

It is a great pleasure and honour for me to be involved in a new scientific project ‘Folk Games and Their Folkloric Components in the Traditional Culture of Nagorno-Karabakh ’ as a foreign cooperation partner! This project is financed by the The RA Ministry of Education, Science, Culture and Sports Higher Education and Science Committee.

I am already looking forward to a fruitful collaboration and joint field research with project instigator Nvard Vardanyan and the team members Lusin, Lusine, Mane and Armen.

The project "Folk Games and Their Folkloric Components in the Traditional Culture of Nagorno-Karabakh" aims to investigate the folk games of Artsakh and their folkloric elements, study the distinctive characteristics of their usage, preserve them from the risk of oblivion through modern recordings of the games, revive them in the broadest sense, appreciate these remarkable cultural manifestations of the Armenian people, and explore, classify, and publish them using modern theoretical approaches of international scholarship.

Thank you for this perfect promotion of Arakelots Monastery and settlement!
