    YEREVAN, MARCH 25, ARMENPRESS. The Prime Minister of the Republic
    of Armenia Hovik Abrahamyan gave an interview to TASS and reflected
    on how Armenia is getting ready to celebrate the 70th anniversary of

    of Victory and Peace, is one of the holydays fixed in our republic's
    calendar. It is also a noteworthy date of the Armenian people's
    history, which is dear to each of us. The Armenians fought in the
    heroic battle against fascism along with other peoples of the USSR
    and made their worthy contribution to the Triumph."

    "There were 600 thousand Armenians fighting in the fronts of the
    Great Patriotic War. Over 100 Armenians were awarded with the title
    of the Hero of the Soviet Union for their courage. Brave pilot Nelson
    Stepanyan (1913-1944) and Marshal of the USSR Hovhannes Baghramyan
    (1897-1982) were awarded with that highest title for two times. 27
    individuals became Full Cavaliers of the Oder of Glory," Hovik
    Abrahamyan concluded.

    Abrahamyan noted that a committee for the 70th jubilee of the victory
    against German fascism in Great Patriotic War has recently been
