glorious victories among the young people of Armenia and Artsakh, to
disseminate national and patriotic ideas in them, and to strengthen
Armenia-Artsakh ties between young people.

becoming a massive sport style. Except that, this sport style is the

help of the young cyclists a unique tie will be established between
Armenia and NKR settlements," he said. The program is implemented
collaboratively by the Armenian Ministry of Sport and Youth Affairs
and NKR Ministry of Culture.
