Avedis Armenian Dance Company of Athens has joined the “What are YOU doing for Karabakh?” pan-Armenian movement of the RA Ministry of Diaspora, expressing its solidarity with Artsakh and the Armenians of Artsakh.

As reported Hayern Aysor, the dance company will be organizing a big event under the title of the movement next summer and dedicating it to Artsakh.

Avedis Armenian Dance Company was established in 2013 with the purpose of preserving the Armenian identity and national cultural values.

In 2016, with six female solo dancers, the dance company participated in the “My Armenia” Pan-Armenian Festival organized by the RA Ministry of Diaspora.
