Hyestanci Highlanders: Armenia turns Scottish for Burns Night

By John Hughes
ArmeniaNow Chief Editor
The Scottish poet Robert Burns (“My love is like a red, red rose . . . “) never made it to Armenia during his life (1759-1796), but his memory is raised here every year when Scots and pretend-Scots gather for “Burns Night”.

Thank you for sharing this beautiful event here! I think it's also worthwhile mentioning the person's name who we owe for founding this lovely celebration in Armenia.
