A group of Iranian-Armenian climbers celebrated the 120th anniversary
of the establishement of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation
(Dashnaktsutyun, ARF-D) party and the 27th anniversary of a
revolutionary action of 5 Armenians in Lisbon on 27 July in 1983.
According to Vardan Davtyan, a journalist from Tehran, the group set
off in the morning of July 18 and reached the summit in the evening.
They waved Armenia’s tricolor flag and the ARF-D army flag and sang
patriotic songs.
The climbers also tried to make fire to burn incense in dedication
of the party and the five deceased Armenians but were unable to do
so due to high winds.
The group consisted of 14 Iranian-Armenians.
