An Armenian army unit participated in Saturday's massive Russian military parade in Moscow held on the 70th anniversary of victory over Nazi Germany in World War Two, which was also officially marked in Armenia.
The 64-strong unit and similar contingents from Azerbaijan, several other ex-Soviet states as well as China and India joined as many as 16,000 Russian soldiers in marching through Red Square.
The parade, the biggest show of Russia's military might since the Soviet collapse, was boycotted by the leaders of major Western powers because of Moscow's role in the conflict in Ukraine. But about two dozen other world leaders, including President Serzh Sarkisian, chose to watch it alongside Russian President Vladimir Putin.
