Armenian alpinists will leave for Iran to climb 5671 meter high Mount
Damavand, the highest peak of the Islamic Republic.

Seven-member national team from Armenia’s federation of alpinism and
mountain tourism will arrive in Iran on June 30 at the invitation of
Iranian alpinism federation.

Armenian team has not officially participated in such events
for 15 years, emergency ministry press service informed Armenian
News-NEWS.am. It is a good chance and a serious challenge to revive
traditions of the Armenian mountain climbing.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
