/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Final preparations to mark the 20th anniversary
of the fall of the Berlin wall are being put in place in the German
capital. The giant party, which has been dubbed the ‘Festival of
Freedom’, will take place at the Brandenburg Gate on Monday. World
leaders, including Gordon Brown, Nicolas Sarkozy, Dmitri Medvedev and
Hillary Clinton will all join Germany’s Chancellor Angela Merkel for
the big event. Around 100,000 spectators are also expected to watch
the big show and many of Berlin’s hotels have already reportedly been
booked out. One of the star attractions is a giant 1000 domino chain
that has been built to follow the path of the former barrier. Like the
real wall 20 years ago it too will fall, culminating with a spectacular
firework display to symbolize the re-unification of Germany and the
end of the Cold War, Euronews reported.
