Кавказ готовится праздновать Новый год и Рождество

В Кавказский регион прибыл дух праздничного сезона, где главным праздником является Новый год, а Рождество отмечается официально только в Армении и Грузии, где он отмечается в начале января, согласно православному календарю. В центре празднований находится рождественская елка, которую в регионе все чаще называют «новогодней». Установка елки обычно знаменует собой конец политического года и начало короткого перерыва, когда основное внимание уделяется семье, друзьям и веселью.

Во всем регионе 2018 год был значительным годом с важными политическими и социальными событиями. В Армении больше чем где-либо год стал насыщенным событиями, где весеннее политическое потрясение, которое назвали «бархатной революцией», действительно стало концом эпохи. То, что произошло в Армении в 2018 году, будет оказывать влияние на страну и регион в течение многих лет.

Поэтому было уместно то, что премьер-министр Никол Пашинян в пятницу был на площади Республики Еревана, где были устроенны праздничные мероприятия, которые включали в себя концерт и фейерверк.
