Yerevan-Shushi auto race to take place May 9

PanARMENIAN.Net - To mark the 65th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War, a Yerevan-Shushi auto race will take place on May 9. The race will kick off at 9 am from Yerevan's Victory Park, after the participants lay wreaths to the Unknown Soldier's Tomb and plant an apricot tree. They will stop in Artashat, Ararat, Eghegnadzor, Vayk, Goris and Lachin to lay flowers at the monuments.

According to Hovhannes Danileyan, the head of the initiative group, the event will precede a Yerevan-Moscow race (Armenia-Georgia-Belarus-Ukraine-Russia) presumably scheduled for 2011.
