The International Black Sea University (IBSU) is a “multinational family”, attended by the students from 10 countries. Student life extends beyond the process of acquiring knowledge; it also includes sporting, cultural, leisure activities and the organization of national festivals based on ethnic and cultural characteristics.

Armenian students of the university presented the “Armenian corner” at the second international cultural festival held on May 19, 2015. Well-decorated Armenian stand showed national musical instruments, carpets, paintings and dishes of traditional cuisine such as dolma, gata, shakar-lokum, jingalov hats (Lavash bread stuffed with herbs), sujuk, basturma, etc.

The Armenian culture was represented by the national dance “Yakhushta”, performed by the “Ani” Dance Ensemble (Teacher – Angelina Nazaryan-Kocharyan) and by the song “Aghjik em Sasuntsi”, performed by Emma Babayan.

The Hayartun Center of the Armenian Diocese in Georgia, through its Director Levon Chidilyan and the Youth Department Director, Valery Badalyan, helped the students to duly represent the Armenian culture. The Armenian “corner” and performances were welcomed warmly by the people present.
