Latvian blogger Alexander Alimov who is attending the annual Wine Festival underway in Artsakh (Nagorno Karabakh) Togh village plans to shoot a film about Artsakh. The blogger unveiled his plans in a Facebook post
accompanied by videos and photos from the country’s most visited tourist destinations, including historic-cultural monuments, churches as well as of people he met in Stepanakert market.

Alimov recalls the story Holy Savior Ghazanchetsots Cathedral in Shoushi and the initiative of unprecedented mass wedding ceremony when around seven hundred couples from all over Nagorno Karabakh were married during two separate ceremonies.   The event was initiated and sponsored by well-known Armenian benefactor Levon Hayrapetyan.

Thus far the blogger has attended the Stepanakert market and tasted Jengyalov hats (traditional bread with greens from Karabakh). He has even asked for the locals for a master class to prepare it.

“People are kind and friendly here. Even strangers, including kids, come to greet me.  The Artsakh Republic is a wonderful place,” the blogger wrote.

Prior to visiting Stepanakert, the blogger toured Armenia’s southern parts, visiting Khor Virap and Tatev monasteries.
