The legend goes that Armenian descends from Haik, and the Noah was the first human to set foot on this land. Armenia is a country of hills, mountain chains and highlands therefore it is called the Armenian plateau. Armenian plateau consisted of Great Haik and Haik Minor.
Only Great Haik had a territory of 300 thousands sq. km..
The territory of Armenia was more then 400 thousand sq. km. Nowadays the territory of Armenia is 29800 sq. km.
The biblical mountain Ararat is in the centre of historical Armenia. Ararat is the highest and the most beautiful mountain of the Armenian plateau. It has two picks: Masis & Sis. The height of Sis is 3225 m and Masis's height is 5165 m.
During this festival, in which Armenia takes part in 6th time, more than 100 children from all parts of Armenia have been here. And today on the 7th international children festival "Let's change the world for the better!'' 11 children from the capital of Armenia - Yerevan and Lori region came here to represent the culture of Armenia to the world.
