YEREVAN, AUGUST 3, ARMENPRESS. Syrian-Armenian Hasmik Tokmejian
remains engaged in fancywork after returning to the motherland. She
moved to Yerevan from the Armenian village of Kessab in Syria. She had
also spent a part of the year in Aleppo, but she had left everything
she had in Syria because of the war and all she could take with her
was her talent in fancywork. In a conversation with "Armenpress"
Mrs. Hasmik stated that it has already been 7 months since her family
settled in Yerevan. She does not waste her time here and completed a
series of handicraft products.
Among other things Hasmik Tokmejian underscored: "I have sold certain
part of my works in various exhibitions. Only some my works are
left. There are very difficult and voluminous works as well. It's
very difficult to sell works of this kind in Armenia, because I have
noticed that the Armenian woman do not use them very frequently." In
addition she recalled that Arab woman and the Armenians of Syria were
very fond of wearing them.
