“We want to bring together the representatives of different ethnicities of Tajikistan, ethnographers and everyone interested in folklore on our next meeting in “Arzhang” Information and Cultural Center.

“We kindly ask the representatives of nationalities bring their national caps. And we will be glad to receive the gifts for our museum, if you have an extra cap for us!”
