This fairy tale is about Amanor (New Year), Gaghant Bab (Santa Claus) and the 12 Khlvliks who accompany him, as well as the Aralezes from which they nourish their life. Thanks to a little girl’s faith, a little stone becomes the medium through which Gaghant Bab returns to Armenia, bringing with him seven Counsel Ktsiks.  With these he can improve the people’s attitude towards one another and towards nature.  The character of Gaghant Bab is founded on ethnographic references and adapted to reflect our contemporary lives. This fairy tale is available in Armenian, French and English.
