Culture and traditions Armenia

 Traditions and customs

A very old custom dictated that you receive the visitor with bread and salt. Armenia has an extremely rich folklore, and as many different dances as it has regions. You will perhaps find "achoughs", the equivalent of bards, minstrels and other troubadours of the Middle Ages, who are popular storytellers going from village to village, to carry the word inherited from elders there, with or without musical accompaniment.
