ArmInfo. Armenian servicemen will march in review in Red Square on
May 9.
According to Argumenty Nedeli, Armenia is one of the countries included
in the list of the member-states to send their military contingents
for participation in a Victory Day parade on May 9. The list has been
compiled by Russia’s Defense Ministry. Servicemen of Great Britain,
USA, France and Poland will also march in Red Square.
Among former USSR republics, servicemen of Azerbaijan, Belarus,
Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Ukraine will also join the
parade besides Armenia. Moldova refused from participation in the
parade ‘invoking the economic reasons’, and Uzbekistan has not yet
taken a final decision.
Turkmenistan linked its possible participation in the parade to
obtaining a permit for march of the commander of its military unit
through Red Square riding a horse. There were some problems with that,
however, they were solved and Turkmen servicemen will be met halfway.
