Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony Held in Stepanakert
STEPANAKERT, DECEMBER 23, ARTSAKHPRESS: As ''Artsakhpress''informs, a concert program was held with the participation of children; the participants also danced the Armenian dance "Kochari".
Santa Claus and Snow Maiden came to give the children a great pre-New Year mood.
According to the Head of the Culture and Youth Department of the Stepanakert Municipality Tatevik Balayan, in the post-war period it was very difficult to decide and organize such an event in Artsakh, which is under blockade. Postponing the event for several days, together with the mayor and deputies, we decided not to deprive our children of this fabulous moment.
Stepanakert Mayor David Sargsyan also attended the Christmas tree lighting ceremony.
