A week has passed since Armenian and Russian Presidents have opened
the Hill of Honor military cemetery in Gyumri.
Hrach Galoyan, St. Michael the Archangel church custodian, reported
over 2000 daily visits to the Hill, by now covered in flowers, brought
as a tribute to the deceased.
Armenian and Russian Presidents attended the opening ceremony of Hill
of Honor in Gyumri on August 20, at the burial site of 156 Russian
army officers who were killed in Russian-Turkish wars during the 19th
century.
The idea to reconstruct the memorial belongs to Russian Ambassador to
Armenia Vyacheslav Kovalenko. The project implemented with assistance
of Ulyanovsk region of the Russian Federation is coordinated by a
working group headed by Andranik Nikoghosyan, President of
All-Armenian International Youth Center.
