PanARMENIAN.Net - A week has passed since Armenian and Russian Presidents have opened the Hill of Honor military cemetery in Gyumri.

Hrach Galoyan, St. Michael the Archangel church custodian, reported over 2000 daily visits to the Hill, by now covered in flowers, brought as a tribute to the deceased.

Armenian and Russian Presidents attended the opening ceremony of Hill of Honor in Gyumri on August 20, at the burial site of 156 Russian army officers who were killed in Russian-Turkish wars during the 19th century.

The idea to reconstruct the memorial belongs to Russian Ambassador to Armenia Vyacheslav Kovalenko. The project implemented with assistance of Ulyanovsk region of the Russian Federation is coordinated by a working group headed by Andranik Nikoghosyan, President of All-Armenian International Youth Center.
