    President Serzh Sargsyan has left for Moscow today at the invitation
    of the President of Russia Dmitry Medvedev, to participate in the the
    events dedicated to the 65th anniversary of the Victory in the Great
    Patriotic War.

    President Sargsyan will participate in the non-official meetings of
    the Heads of State of the Collective Security Treaty Organization and
    the Commonwealth of Independent Sates, President's Press Office
    reported.

    `The unofficial meeting of CIS heads of state will be dedicated to the
    65th anniversary of victory in WWII, a central subject of Russia's
    current chairmanship in the CIS,' a Kremlin source told Itar-Tass and
    added that the year 2010 had been declared the Year of Veterans in the
    CIS.

    `The CIS heads of state are expected to pass a joint address to WWII
    veterans. Along with the address to the CIS peoples and the world
    community on the occasion of the 65th anniversary of the Victory
    passed at the CIS Chisinau summit in October 2009, this document will
    demonstrate adherence to the historical truth about World War II, and
    will focus on protection of socio-economic rights and legal interests
    of WWII veterans,' the source said.

    `The heads of state are likely to take a chance to exchange their
    views on the current state and prospects for development of
    comprehensive cooperation within the CIS. Thus, they are expected to
    discuss the first results of Russia's chair in the organization,
    including such subjects as innovation and hi-tech cooperation,
    top-priority areas of humanitarian cooperation in 2011-2012, and
    issues of a forthcoming 20th anniversary of the CIS in December 2011,'
    the source added.
