ArmGeo Lori
In 2020, the “ArmGeo Lori” project was launched with the ascent of Mount Dzithanits. This choice was symbolic, because this mountain is one of the symbols of Vanadzor. Mount Dzithanits is known among the locals as Maymekh.
To make the ascent more memorable, the team from Yerevan also headed to Mount Dzithanits, but from the opposite side. Thus, from two different sides, the teams from Yerevan and Vanadzor walked towards each other and met at the top of the mountain, celebrating the beginning of the project.
