/PanARMENIAN.Net/ An Armenian delegation headed by Ataman of
International Cossack Union Sergei Madatyan participated in the 2nd
congress of Orthodox Cossack youth. For the first time in history,
flags of Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh were hoisted on Mamayev Kurgan
at the height of 102 meters.
Ataman Madatyan was handed two bags of soil, one of them will be
poured out in the Victory Park in Yerevan while the second will be
sent to NKR, reported Yerkramas, the newspaper of Armenians of Russia.
Azeri media did not take long to comment on the event. Head of Cossack
association of Azerbaijan Viktor Merezhkin, Azerbaijan was invited
to the event but the delegation could not go because of lack of means.
"We would have prevented what had happened," Merezhkin said.
