YEREVAN. – The traditional dolma festival will be held nearby Armenia’s Sardarapat Memorial Complex on Wednesday.
Chairman Sedrak Mamulyan of the “Development and Preservation of Armenian Culinary Traditions” NGO noted the abovementioned during a press conference on Monday.
This year’s festival participants were tasked to prepare the longest dolma. Subsequently, representatives from the Guinness Book of World Records are planned to be invited to the event, to register the world’s longest dolma.
“The key objective of the event is to promulgate traditional Armenian dishes and to develop and strengthen Armenian cuisine. The festival has yet another important objective: to confirm the Armenian origins of dolma,” Mamulyan noted.
“The dolma festival [in Armenia] coincides with the ‘Golden Apricot’ [International] Film Festival [which is underway in capital city Yerevan]. It is a wonderful opportunity to introduce Armenia’s national cuisine to the guests from a variety of countries,” Film Festival event organizer Vardan Hakobyan added.
Separately, the “Youth” NGO representative informed that the bounds of the dolma festival will be extended next year and cooks from Nagorno-Karabakh will join their colleagues in Armenia.
