\"\u0531\u0580\u0574\u056b\u0576\u056f\u0561\"<\/a>\u201cEach country has its own historical and cultural heritage which is extremely interesting for people\u201d, starts Armenian favourite singer Armine Nahapetyan who shares her preferences and suggestions with our visitors.\u00a0Arminka has started her solo career since 2000 and soon having recorded her first hit \u201cAndzrev\u201d (\u201cRain\u201d) became one of the people\u2019s beloved singers. Arminka, a very interesting and acute personality, highly evaluates the role of culture in the life of a nation, \u201cIt may be seen too curious of me, but when I am traveling I do not miss any minute or any opportunity to get acquainted with the cultural life of the specific country, and of course, to take part in it, too. It may be visiting museums, open-air concerts, and musical evenings or watching a theater performance. Now our theatres are saturated with new performances. We have many young talented actors and stage directors performing in Yerevan Drama\u00a0Theater,\u00a0National Academic Theatre or Chamber Musical Theater. Moreover, almost each summer evening Cascade\u00a0Complex hosts an open-air concert with our most favorite jazz and folk bands\u201d.
\nOur city – always old and new Yerevan – has many\u00a0places for the young people to have a nice time. \u201cFor\u00a0young people I can suggest such clubs where our elite and\u00a0progressive youth are gathering. They can listen to a very\u00a0tastily music in the restaurant \u201cThe Club\u201d that also o ers\u00a0a good cuisine. Every one can find their favourite jazz,\u00a0classic and city folk music in Mezzo Classic House Club\u00a0or in Malkhas Jazz Club, a legendary jazz club in\u00a0Yerevan\u201d, emphasized Arminka.
\nSurely, the next cultural step that you should make in\u00a0Yerevan is to visit museums. Any museum in our city is\u00a0worth admiring but first of all, Arminka suggests visiting\u00a0Matenadaran to see the ancient and medieval unique\u00a0manuscripts and books from Armenia and all over the\u00a0world. \u201cNext museum which I should recommend to our\u00a0guests is the House-Museum of S. Parajanov. It is another unique Armenian world where you can perceive many\u00a0things of Armenian legend\u2019s life and works. It\u2019s also worth\u00a0visiting some of the art galleries where you can find the\u00a0works of our talented painters and sculptors. For me, my\u00a0favorite\u00a0graphic artist is Rudolf Khachatryan. Frankly\u00a0speaking, I would acquire one of his precious works at\u00a0first opportunity\u201d.
\nSpiritual nourishment is essential, but we need other\u00a0food as well\u2026 So, drawing the attention to the essence of\u00a0food in our life, Arminka believes that the cuisine is also\u00a0an integral part of a nation\u2019s culture. As a great gourmand,\u00a0who has tasted many dishes of various cuisines, she evaluates the Italian cuisine. \u201cThere is no country where I\u00a0have been and have not tried Italian cuisine; I am fond of\u00a0tasting Italian dishes everywhere. Fortunately for me and\u00a0for all the lovers of Italian cuisine, we have several\u00a0restaurants in Yerevan where it\u2019s possible to feel the real\u00a0taste of Italian dishes, such as Al Leoni, L\u2019 Orange,\u00a0Terazza\u201d. For the real gourmandsArminka suggests tasting\u00a0Armenian traditional delicacies. \u201cYou will not get disappointed: in one of the cozy and breezy districts of Yerevan\u00a0there is a newly opened charming place \u2013 Restaurant\u00a0\u201cKapela\u201d – where you will find the most exquisite\u00a0Armenian traditional dishes, and even ancient, almost\u00a0forgotten dishes of Armenian cuisine\u201d.<\/p>\n

Though talking about tasty dishes, Arminka has confessed that now she tries to eat only vegetables and has\u00a0temporarily refused all types of meat\u2026 And for vegetarians, Arminka assures that they will not be starving in\u00a0Yerevan as it is possible to order tasty salads in any\u00a0restaurant. We found out the most interesting occupation\u00a0of our gentle singer Arminka: she is fond of doing shopping; especially buying presents for her friends. A wonderful present that Arminka always recommends can be a\u00a0small Armenian postcard or a gorgeous Armenian carpet.\u00a0And of course her best advice for our guests is to visit rich\u00a0souvenir shops adorning both sides of Abovyan Street.
\nYou may ask a question: \u201cwhere to walk in Yerevan\u201d.\u00a0We tried to get the most exciting answers from Arminka,\u00a0a real citizen of Yerevan, who introduced her favourite\u00a0places for walks. \u201cFor me, the Cascade Complex has\u00a0always been, is and will remain the heart of our city. It\u00a0charms with its buildings, small cafes, boutiques, green\u00a0walk way, fountains and the beautiful staircase that leads\u00a0to the Victory Park from where a fascinating view of the
\nwhole city opens before you\u201d.
\nAs a kind and attentive mom, Arminka cares for her\u00a0son\u2019s cultural upbringing as well. Little Alex already visits the Center for Child Development in Khnko Aper\u00a0Children Library<\/strong>. After the classes Arminka takes him to\u00a0one of the best children cafes in Yerevan \u2013 Caf\u00e9\u00a0Americano. \u201cIt is the place where my son finds everything interesting for him and it is great!\u201d Besides,\u00a0\u201cAmericano\u201d is situated near Swan Lake and it is great\u00a0for both of us to have a little walk along the surroundings\u00a0of the lake\u201d. Moreover, Arminka takes her son for swimming, too, \u201cI am going to put aside my laziness and go for\u00a0swimming with Alex, yes; I think the best swimming pool\u00a0for both of us will be the Gold’s Gym\u201d.
\nOf course, our young celebrity follows to the strict\u00a0rules of fashion and tries to work only with experienced\u00a0designers especially for her stage cloths. Her partner in\u00a0Armenia is young Armenian fashion designer Arevik\u00a0Simonyan who is the author of Kivera Naynomis brand.\u00a0As a woman with deep sense of beauty, Arminka opened\u00a0her own \u201cArminka\u201d beauty studio (Saryan 30) where\u00a0professional hairdressers and image makers will create\u00a0your own style about which you are dreaming.
\n\u201cThere is a thing that each visitor should feel while\u00a0travelling in Armenia\u201d, added Arminka and suggested\u00a0\u201cDo not miss your chance to meet the dawn on the shores\u00a0of Sevan Lake while in Armenia. Excessively beautiful\u00a0scenery and moments of unforgettable feelings\u201d\u2026
\nSo, we had the pleasure to take an interview with a\u00a0talented and excessively interesting personality who considers her earnest of success the love for her job, persistence and application to work. In July you can already\u00a0enjoy Arminka\u2019s new song \u201cThe Country of Sun\u201d – the\u00a0hymn of the pan Armenian musical festival \u201cReturn\u201d.<\/p>\n
