/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Yesterday an agreement on the Armenian capital
and Rostov-on-Don becoming Twin Cities was signed in Yerevan
Administration.
Besides, the Don delegation headed by Governor Vladimir Chub took part
in festivities in Yerevan marking the opening of the memorial complex
to Hero Cossacks killed during Russian-Persian and Russian-Turkish Wars
in 19th century. It should be reminded that the memorial is erected at
the place where once Cossack regiments were stationed. The seven-meter
stele is embraced with plates that have names of Cossack regiments on
them. The proverb on the monument reads: “To Cossacks of Russia from
Grateful Armenian People.” The raising of the monument was initiated
by Cossack circles of Rostov region and Nakhichevan Armenian community.
