Homemade jams, gata, and sudzhuk attract tourists in Armenia

YEREVAN, JUNE 19, ARMENPRESS. The tourists visiting Armenia pay special attention to the homemade Armenian jams sold in the pavilions situated next to the historical and cultural sites. Within the framework of the Armenian-Russian academic touristic expedition held under the slogan "Learn about the Motherland and Tell about It", the "Armenpress" reporter made an attempt to find out what the tourists buy most of all by revealing some of their preferences.

When I approached the pavilion by grandiose Ohanavank, the saleswoman became very excited, learning that I am a reporter. I asked her about the preferences of the representatives of various nations visiting the temple. Mrs. Zoya stated: "The Germans usually buy walnut jam. The Italians buy only rose jam and sometimes they also take sudzhuk." Among other things she said that the Belgians are not fond of shopping unlike the Frenchmen and Canadians, who buy relatively more.

The 2nd Armenian-Russian academic touristic expedition held under the title "Learn about the Motherland and Tell about It" launched on June 8. The participants started the trip to learn about the picturesque site of Armenia from "Sasuntsi David" station.

The participants finished their trip with an entertaining bicycle race. The aforesaid 62 km long race launched in Jermuk and ended in the Yeghegis Canyon. Burning sun did not hinder the successful course of the bicycle run, which heralded the end of this significant event aimed at raising Armenia's popularity.
