THE FESTIVAL WAS NOT FREE FROM SHORTCOMINGS
"One nation, one culture" all-Armenian festival came to an end. 1000 participants (39 dance ensembles, choirs and companies of actors and 61 individuals) from 16 countries participated in the festival.
At the end of the festival Armenian Minister of Hasmik Poghosian received the leaders of the delegations and thank them for preserving national culture in foreign countries. She also mentioned that she had followed the reaction of the press during the whole process of the festival. "Of course, there were some shortcomings, and we want to be aware of them to solve them in the future", she said.
Leader of "Javakhk" song and dance ensemble Alik Kspoyan informed the Minister that the culture in Javakhk is in a state of neglect and needs patronage.
Director of Russian "Hayordik" song and dance ensemble Samvel Haroyan suggested that the leaders of the groups abroad should improve their qualification in motherland at least once a year.
Almost everybody was content with the idea of holding a festival and impressed with the warm reception of the provinces.
The participants offered to prolong the period of the festival. There were also other suggestions and the Minister promised to be more prepared for the next festival.
