YEREVAN. – The Armenian society is unable to perceive April 7 as women’s, motherhood, and beauty day.

Ethnographer Armenuhi Stepanyan believes that observing this day on March 8 is so entrenched in people’s minds that it is difficult to change anything.

“March 8 has nothing to do with the Armenian scene, but we celebrate it with more fanfare than April 7,” she said. “And since there is one-month duration between these two days, from March 8 to April 7 was immediately declared women’s month in Armenia.”

As per Stepanyan, the young generation in Armenia underscores April 7 more than the older generation.

“April 7 is just starting to grow roots at us [in Armenia],” the ethnographer added. “The young generation is trying to better recognize and celebrate April 7, which is very welcome.”
