In search of warm Tavush conversations, this time we were in the village of Berdavan. We were hosted by Gohar Aslikyan, who is the host of the “Tavush Kitchen” program; she recently won the “Hot Kitchen” TV project.

We have an interesting conversation with Gohar while preparing “agdak” and “eghalavash” special to Tavush cuisine.

In short, Hrant Ghazumyan and the TavushTV filming team were hosted at Gohar’s house to drink Tavush “Makardakov Kofe”

The issues of border settlements are on the agenda of the discussion.

On Tavush TV, Ernest Khanumyan, with Gagik Aghababyan, director of the “Green Village” enterprise, Garik Paytyan, founder of the “Zovak” guesthouse in Norashen, and Karine Saribekyan, director of the “Aghstevi Valley” local active group NGO, highlight the challenges in the border settlements of Tavush, which have consequences for the socio-economic situation of the population.

Tavush is us: our villages, the people who live in the village and speak to the land and nature, who overcome difficulties and create something new with each new day.

Continuing to present the villages of Tavush region, we stop at Khachdarzan.

The first snow of the year turned the city of Ijevan into a fairy tale.

We continue to present the life and lifestyle of border settlements, problems and challenges.

In Voskevan, in addition to border-security issues, the water problem is extremely acute. As a result of climate change, winters in the region are snowy, precipitation is low, and therefore collecting water reserves is a vital challenge.

At the Tavush TV air, Ernest Khanumyan, along with Nerkin Karmiraghbyur School Teacher Arevik Melikyan, Aygepar School Teacher Tatev Grigoryan, and Koti School Student Council President Lia Azibekyan, explore the security issues in the border settlements of Tavush, which have consequences for the quality and accessibility of education.
