Yarkhushta is not just a dance, it is the fighting spirit of the Armenian people.

The title stands for Friend in Arms. “Yarkhushta” was danced by the warriors before the battle.

This is not just a heritage or a dance, but this is the spirit and calling of our ancestors.

Cotton “Yarkhushta” flew through the mountains of Sasun and was filled with the spirit of a warrior.
