The senior students of Mesrobian High School also celebrated the 110th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide with a series of educational activities aimed at preserving Western Armenian history and memory and appropriating its cultural values.
Following the program proposed by the teacher of patriotic studies, Mrs. Serpoug Jenanian, the students examined and then presented, in the format of a displayed project, the history of a number of settlements in Western Armenia with ethnographic information about them as well as characteristics related to their culture and their customs.
Ms. Jenanian specifically addressed Western Armenian cuisine, introducing the students to various types of food that have often characterized this or that settlement, such as Adana, Ayntab, Musa Ler and other villages and cities of our lost homeland.
The teacher invited the students to taste the aforementioned foods, urging families to preserve the rich Western Armenian culture in its various manifestations, which was discontinued in the millennial cradle of our ancestors due to the Genocide.
