Karabakh diary
The circle dance of unity was held in Artsakh as well. It was organized
by the Culture Administration of NKR Ministry of Education, Culture
and Sport.
Khazanchetzotz Holy Savior church of Shushi was the center of the
event. But people gathered for the dance in Gandzasar and Qashatagh
as well.
As head of Artsakh diocese Archbishop Pargev Martirosian noted,
the circle dance around Mount Aragats was a prelude to the dance
around Ararat.
The dance around a mountain has another meaning too: it is a trace
of purely Armenian worship of mountains.
