The Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs, too, has worked out a program on development of kokh.
Kokh (Armenian national wrestling) was widespread in Armenia still in pagan times. Now this sport is not so popular, and the inseparable part of traditional Armenian weddings and celebrations is gradually fading away.
Kokh Federation of Armenia was founded in 2001. Over 14 years everything possible has been done to develop and spread this sport. Championships have been held both for young people and adults.
The Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs, too, has worked out a program on development of kokh. Soon it will be brought to life.
