Urartu cuisine to be established at Erebuni museum

Gagik Gyurjyan, director of Erebuni historical reserve museum, said they are planning to create Urartu cuisine at the museum to give the visiting tourists an opportunity to get acquainted not only with historical samples but cuisine as well.

“The project is already ready. It is in process. We have already determined the place,” he said, noting that the issue is connected with the menu. The specialists are studying the dishes the Armenians were eating in the period of Urartu Kingdom.

“The issue of drinks has already been solved as we know what drinks were used in that period. We have found beer, wine production sites,” Gyurjyan said, reminding that today Urartu brandy is being produced.

The director of the museum said the idea will be brought into life as soon as they find sponsors.
