Center for development of traditional Tuvan culture and crafts opened its doors on 2 March of last year. In honor of its first anniversary, director of the Center, Kongar-ool Ondar, gave the first press-conference to representatives of mass communication media of Tuva. The interest in this conference is evidenced by the fat that journalists came to Kyzyl from Pii-Khem, Ovyur, and even from Mongun-Taiga.
