    Russia's President Dmitry Medvedev has become the first holder of
    Armenia's new state Order of Glory, Armenia's presidential press
    service reported on Wednesday.

    Armenia's President Serzh Sargsyan said in his decree of October 4
    that Dmitry Medvedev is decorated with the order "for his big personal
    input in strengthening of traditionally friendly relations between the
    peoples of Armenia and Russia, deepening and expanding of strategic
    partnership relations between the Republic of Armenia and the Russian
    Federation, as well as for keeping peace and international security."

    The Order of Glory is awarded for outstanding contribution to the
    strengthening and development of interstate relations, peace and
    international security, human rights and fundamental liberties, and
    activities aimed at the enhancement and development of economic ties,
    preservation of spiritual and cultural values.

    The Order of Glory in conferred on the leaders of foreign states and
    governments, heads of international organizations, religious leaders.

    The order is gilded Maltese cross, which bears the Republic of
    Armenia's state emblem. Like most state orders of Armenia, it is
    produced at the St. Petersburg mint. The basis of the Order of Glory
    repeats France's National Order of the Legion of Honour.

    Initially, Armenia used the Order of Honour, which was adopted in
    2000, but following introduction of the Order of Glory, its statute
    was changed, and now the country decorates its citizens with the
    order, too.
