Menk: Gyumri to host concert featuring Artsakh cultural ensembles

ArmInfo.  The "Menk" concert featuring Artsakh cultural groups will take place at the Gyumri Sports and Cultural Center on May 31 at 6:00 PM.

As Artsakh Ombudsman Gegham Stepanyan informed on his Facebook page, the event will bring together Artsakh performers and guest ensembles  on a single stage to showcase the living spirit of Artsakh's cultural  heritage. "The concert program features performances of beloved and  well-known pieces, national dances, live music, and the very cultural  values that continue to endure and be passed down from generation to  generation, despite all hardships. Admission is free for all,"  Stepanyan shared.

The project is an initiative of the Refugee Community Councils of  Yerevan and Gyumri, in collaboration with the "Artsakh Culture  Preservation Center" NGO. It is organized as part of the EU-funded  program "Human Rights for and with Refugees." The "Human Rights for  and with Refugees" initiative is implemented with the support of the  European Union, the Democracy Development Foundation, the Estonian  Refugee Council, the Coalition to Stop Violence Against Women, and  Commit Global. The program aims to improve access to essential  services, strengthens youth capacities, and trains refugees in  advocacy.
