May is a month of our people’s glorious victories. During the World
War II the sons of the Armenian people had their major contribution
in the defeat of fascism. 600.000 Armenians took part in that war,
and from them 300.000 did not return. Three marshals, one admiral, 60
generals of Armenian descent registered their names in the history. We
gave 105 heroes, among them the two: marshal Hovhannes Baghramian
and pilot Nelosn Stepanian were granted that higher title twice.

On May 8 on the initiative of RA NA Speaker Hovik Abrhamyan within
the framework of the programme Open Doors the hospitable doors of the
parliament opened before the veterans of the Great Patriotic War and
our citizens.

It was a beautiful May day in the picturesque park of the parliament.

Armenian pop singers Shushan Petrosyan, All Levonyan, Nune Yesayan,
Marat Hayrapetyan, Zhanna, Silva Hakobyan, Samvel Grigoryan, Avo
Khalatyan, Suzy, Arevik ensemble and the orchestra of the chief
headquarters of the Armed Forces of the Ministry of Defense of the
Republic of Armenia gave wonderful moments to our dear veterans,
who crowned their name and deed with glory.

Every veteran also received a souvenir.

The festivity in the Parliament Park continued till evening. The
May glorious victories serve a symbol of the Armenians’ unity and
invincible spirit.
