ArmInfo.  The memory of the Great Victory will be passed from generation to generation.  Vice-Speaker of the Armenian Parliament Hakob Arshakyan made this statement at the  39th session of the Interparliamentary Commission on Cooperation  between the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation and the  National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia on the theme <80th  Anniversary of the Great Victory: Unity in Protecting Historical  Memory for Future Generations>.

He noted that the Great Victory stands  as a valuable model of  courage and patriotism for future generations, while also serving as  a reminder of the devastating impact of wars on humanity.  Arshakyan  expressed contentment with the ongoing and dynamic nature of the  Interparliamentary Commission's work, which focuses on strengthening  Armenian-Russian relations through regular meetings that help address  issues of mutual interest promptly.

Yuri Vorobyov, Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council of the  Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation noted that the Great  Victory came at a high  cost for the  Soviet people. He also  emphasized that they will always remember the heroic deeds of the  fraternal Armenian people.

Vorobyov reported that the Russian side has appealed to  parliamentarians of foreign countries and peoples worldwide urging  that those who insult the memory of the fighters against fascism and  the victorious soldiers be brought to justice. "Only through joint  efforts can we protect the truth about that war, fight against the  rise of neo-Nazism, and prevent the recurrence of bloody crimes  against humanity," Vorobyov said. He highlighted the unity between  Armenia and Russia, not just in common victory and history, but also  in active cooperation across various areas. Currently, bilateral  relations are developing dynamically in all areas, with a significant  focus on interregional cooperation. The interparliamentary  commission, according to the deputy chairman, plays a key role in  fostering direct ties between  regions in Armenia and Russia.
