His Beatitude Sviatoslav said that an instrument is magical and meditative for him, whereas the culture of playing the duduk is cultural wealth of Armenia, which Ukrainians still need to discover for themselves.

Referring to this point, Head of the UGCC pointed out that a tradition of our Church has always laid in a principle of a priest being not just a servant of a cult but a former of a culture.

His Beatitude assures that it is very important for Ukrainians to reveal Armenian culture who have been living on the Ukrainian land for decades and their duduk which is acknowledged world’s heritage according to UNESCO.
