An apricot seeds were found during an archaeological excavations at Garni. Many scientists suggest that Alexander the Great took apricots from Armenia to Greece, thus introducing it to the Mediterranean region.<\/p>\n<p>But there are other theories which deny that Armenia is the homeland of apricot, and state that it originates from India and China. Despite the disagreements over origin, no one can reject the fact that apricots that grow in Armenia are quite different from the ones that grow in other countries. And you will never find real Armenian apricots growing outside the borders of Armenia.<\/p>\n<p>Legend has it that apricot tree is the only tree that Noah brought down from the Ark and planted it in the new soil. The Great Flood destroyed many fruit trees, however, the apricot survived it.<\/p>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2zfccdy-7538459bdca12c2092b9334971b39efb\">\n#top .hr.av-2zfccdy-7538459bdca12c2092b9334971b39efb{\nmargin-top:30px;\nmargin-bottom:30px;\n}\n.hr.av-2zfccdy-7538459bdca12c2092b9334971b39efb .hr-inner{\nwidth:50px;\nborder-color:#353535;\nmax-width:45%;\n}\n.hr.av-2zfccdy-7538459bdca12c2092b9334971b39efb .av-seperator-icon{\ncolor:#353535;\n}\n.hr.av-2zfccdy-7538459bdca12c2092b9334971b39efb .av-seperator-icon.avia-svg-icon svg:first-child{\nfill:#353535;\nstroke:#353535;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-2zfccdy-7538459bdca12c2092b9334971b39efb hr-custom  avia-builder-el-1  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr  hr-center hr-icon-yes'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-fat'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><span class='av-seperator-icon avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello' data-av_icon='\ue84e' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' ><\/span><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-fat'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Uniqueness of Armenian Apricot<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Armenian apricots not only differ with their taste, but with their unique coloring as well.

Children also love to make special whistles out of the kernels. You need to find some rough surface (the best option can be a stone) then start scraping it as long as you will make a hole in it. Then you have to empty the inner part with the help of a needle and your whistle is ready.<\/p>\n<p>In Armenia, people consume the fruit fresh or dried and prepare a vast number of delicacies with it &#8211; be it marmalad, jam, juice, desserts, apricot vodka, apricot leather rolls, or various other dishes.<\/p>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2cmz5xy-905eef0976d93de66398539930e17328\">\n#top .hr.av-2cmz5xy-905eef0976d93de66398539930e17328{\nmargin-top:30px;\nmargin-bottom:30px;\n}\n.hr.av-2cmz5xy-905eef0976d93de66398539930e17328 .hr-inner{\nwidth:50px;\nborder-color:#353535;\nmax-width:45%;\n}\n.hr.av-2cmz5xy-905eef0976d93de66398539930e17328 .av-seperator-icon{\ncolor:#353535;\n}\n.hr.av-2cmz5xy-905eef0976d93de66398539930e17328 .av-seperator-icon.avia-svg-icon svg:first-child{\nfill:#353535;\nstroke:#353535;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-2cmz5xy-905eef0976d93de66398539930e17328 hr-custom  avia-builder-el-2  el_after_av_hr  el_before_av_hr  hr-center hr-icon-yes'><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-fat'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><span class='av-seperator-icon avia-iconfont avia-font-entypo-fontello' data-av_icon='\ue84e' data-av_iconfont='entypo-fontello' ><\/span><span class='hr-inner inner-border-av-border-fat'><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #993300;\">Armeian Duduk<\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It is not a coincidence that one of the most famous Armenian musical instruments is called \u201ctsiranapokh\u201d which means \u201capricot tree pipe\u201d. Armenian duduk is made exclusively from apricot tree. The roots of Armenian duduk go back to the times of Tigran the Great. The instrument is depicted in numerous Armenian manuscripts of the Middle Ages.<\/p>\n<p>Armenian duduk is distinctive with its warm and soft, sometimes even sad and dramatic melodies.

Duduk is also an inseparable part of every wedding and funeral.<\/p>\n<p>There are four major types of duduk, varying in length from 28 to 40 cm and in sound, ranging from one to fourth or third octaves. The sound of the duduk can express various moods depending on the content of the piece. The 40-cm long duduk, for example, is regarded as most appropriate for love songs, whereas the smaller one is used for more rhythmic melodies and usually accompanies dances.<\/p>\n<div class='avia-iframe-wrap'><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Duduk and its Music\" width=\"1333\" height=\"1000\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/X8CWEiK6PkI?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>There are special duduk craftsmen who still continue to create different types of Duduk.
