Publisher’s note
''New Year's Day. A fresh start. A new chapter in life waiting to be written. New questions to be asked, embraced, and loved. Answers to be discovered and then lived in this transformative year of delight and self-discovery. Today carve out a quiet interlude for yourself in which to dream, pen in hand. Only dreams give birth to change.'' I feel the smell of New Year, don't you? People are rushing from one shop to the other to buy gifts, new clothes, food, and different things from markets. The streets have already worn their glittering outfits welcoming the guests and citizens with shining beauty. This is one of the most beautiful seasons when visitors of Armenia can enjoy not only winter adventures outside the capital city Yerevan, but also discover the magic of the season in such places as Winter Park, Skating rink, etc. Take your winter tours to discover Armenia sunk under the white snow blanket. Have your skiing dreams realized in ski resort towns such as Tsaghkadzor, Jermuk, etc. And don't forget to get to know about traditional Armenian New Year which may be a kind of different from yours. When on December 31 clock strikes 00:00, keep a wish and believe in it with all your heart. The magic of New Year will work for you and bring all the goodness to you and your family‌ Let the upcoming 2018 be a year of love, peace and new achievements for all of us.

The Magic of New Year in Armenia I
f you are reading this article, it means you have decided to spend one of the best periods of the year in Armenia. So, welcome! New Year is a magical time when you can enjoy your holidays and take time away from the hustle and bustle of the busy and exhausting working days. Though New Year is celebrated in the majority of countries, the celebrations vary widely across different cultures. In Armenia this holiday has a specific importance for natives. Since the end of November each family is getting prepared for a great celebration. The cities and even villages have their festive

decorations done. The capital city Yerevan and the second largest city Gyumri have the most beautiful lights and Christmas tree on all streets. The queen of the celebrations is the main Christmas tree in the Capital square which lights are switched on with special ceremony. But this is just the beginning of the story. The most important is yet to come. Being in Armenia in New Year means to know everything about our traditions starting from the decoration of the table, house, ending with the welcoming of friends and acquaintances.
New Year Rush in an Armenian-style Cleaning up the house is the first stage of getting prepared. In fact, we don't throw away the furniture as the German people do, but try to save money for new things to buy. Try to knock at any door on the last days of December, you will see that all of them are cleaning, cooking, or both together. By the way, the decoration of the Christmas tree is a special occasion as well. We buy new and modern ornaments each year to decorate both the house and the tree.
On December 31 at 00:00 we all should be ready to welcome the New Year. The table should be set and all family members should be at home to gather around the table and say Cheers to welcome 2018. On January 1 the holiday routine begins. We visit our friends, relatives, acquaintances to wish them a Happy New Year. New Year rush comes to its end on January 13 with the final celebration of Old New Year.

If the turkey is a traditional Christmas dish for Americans, the pork leg decorates our tables for New Year. Even if there can be found some original families who replace the leg with a turkey, fish or even crocodile, the pork doesn't succumb. Meat snacks and salads come the next which great variety makes us feel dizzy. If you want typically Armenian meat snack, try basturma. Fruits, various nuts, chocolate candies, dried fruit, etc. are listed in the New Year menu. And the last but not least, our national UNESCO heritage; thin bread lavash. The number of dishes varies from family to family depending on their social status. In fact, you should be ready to gain some kilos during your New Year holidays in Armenia.
What to taste in Armenia?
The Queen of Armenian New Year’s Table
Pork Leg
T
he main preparations of mouthwatering dishes for New Year start on December 30-31. Though today New Year menu has undergone some changes, there are still villages and regions which stick to the ancient tradition and bake pastries such as bread of the year - lavash, krkeni, dovlat krkeni, kloch, purnik and other ritual pastries which shape and ingredients vary considerably. In ancient times they could have a round, square, triangular or other shape and be filled with walnuts, raisins, seeds and berries. The most important thing is that a fruit stone, a seed, a bean, or most often a coin was hidden in those delicious pastries. Nowadays, no matter where you live in Armenia, you should have a Pork Leg as one of the main dishes of the festive table. Let's see how it is cooked.
Ingredients • • • • • • •
Some garlic Carrots Pepper grains Bay leaves Red pepper Salt Mustard
Preparation • Rinse the leg and pat dry. Score it, using a serrated knife to make parallel cuts about 2-cm apart, across and through the skin into the fat. Cut diagonally across these first cuts to make a diamond pattern. • Rub the paste all over the leg, pressing it into the cuts. Cover the ham with cling film, put on a pan and refrigerate overnight. • In a large roasting tin, toss the onion wedges with the remaining oil. Place the leg on top of the onions and add 240ml of the juice. Roast the meat for 30 minutes, and then reduce the oven temperature 150°C. Cook the ham until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part registers 66°C. A 5.8kg leg will take about 4 to 4 1/2 hours; about 40 minutes per kilo.
Armenian Snickers or Sujukh To prepare this sweet you need walnuts or hazelnuts. Make a string walnuts (hazelnuts) into a kind of rope and dip it into the mixture of grape and mulberry juice. After taking it off, hang to dry for several days. As a result, you will have an amazing nutty fruity energy-packed treat for your New Year table. 20 TOURINFO MAGAZINE
''Christ is born and revealed among us''
Merry Christmas
Mother See of Holy Ejmiatsin
A
s the Armenian Apostolic church follows the old Julian calendar, not the reformed Christian calendar introduced by Pope Gregory 13th in 1586, the Christmas is celebrated on January 6. However, it has been a long time since the holiday season started a little earlier with an additional celebration of Western Christmas on December 25. Actually, Armenian Christmas is rather quiet celebration with family and, for some, a church service. On Christmas Eve, January 5, traditional families attend church to take part in Divine Liturgy and receive Holy Communion. They bring home a church candle to fill their homes with divine light of the God. In the morning traditional families attend church once more to bring Holy water from the church. A large basin of water is put in front of the altar and a cross is submerged in that water to symbolize Christ's baptism. Then people approach the basin to take some holy water home. It is said to be healing. At Christmas people use the following greetings in Armenia:
''Christ is born and revealed among us.'' The reply is: ''To everyone the good news'' and ''Blessed is the revelation of Christ.''

The Holy Liturgy at Christmas. As the year comes to an end, it is a must for all of us to clean not only our houses but our souls as well. Attending New Year Eve and Christmas liturgies and listening to healing sounds of religious music will purify our hearts and souls leading us to a new life to be started with a blank page.

January 28
Army Day Army Day is a public holiday of Armenia celebrated on January 28. It commemorates the troops of the Armed Forces of Armenia. The Armenian Army was established on January 28, 1992, by decree of President of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosyan, several months after declaration of independence from the Soviet Union. Army Day was first celebrated in 2001, after the President of Armenia, Robert Kocharyan, signed Army Day into law as an official holiday. Army Day is a non-working day. This year we are going to celebrate the 26th anniversary. During these years significant works have been carried out to improve the battle-worthiness of the troops, strengthening discipline, training of officers, Army-public relations, etc. Men aged 18-27 take two year compulsory military service in Armenia. We have military cooperation with a number of countries including Russia which has a great role in the international cooperation field of the Armenian Armed Forces and is Armenia's strategic partner. The Armenian Armed Forces focus on training and educating highly skilled personnel. With this purpose the Military Aviation institute was set up. Graduates of such institutions join the troops. Armenian peacekeepers have significant role outside the country as well. The Armenian army is collaborating in several international missions with the West. We have deployed a number of squads to Kosovo, Iraq, Afghanistan, Greece, Lebanon, Mali, etc. Let 2018 multiply the level of peace over the world, Armenia and Nagorno Karabagh.
