YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 28, ARMENPRESS. Another Syrian-Armenian family
will celebrate the foundation of its own business in Yerevan in
a week. A bakery-pub will be opened in the heart of the capital,
where Armenian traditional and forgotten dishes will be served to
the visitors. In a conversation with “Armenpress” the founder of
the pub Njdeh Toufenkjian stated that there are a number of dishes
to be served in a frying-pan. Notwithstanding foreign nations have
appropriated then and altered the names. Njdeh underscored: “We shall
return them back, prepare in traditional way and try to preserve them.”

Njdeh used to visit Armenia each year as a tourist since 1999 and
always wanted to move to Armenia and settle here together with
his family. He noted: “First I came here with my wife. There is a
possibility that my parents will also join us in future.” Toufenkjian
had his own business in Syria too. He used to import used motor-car
spare parts from Japan to Syria. Among other things Njdeh highlighted:
“I decided to change the sphere of my activity and I had an idea about
opening a bakery.” In addition he laid a heavy emphasis on the fact
that the bakery-pub will be comfortable and available for everyone.
