    Armenian may soon become the official language of FIDE, the president
    of FIDE Kirsan Ilumzhinov said while opening the series of match
    between World Chess Champion Vladimir Kramnik and Armenian chess-player
    Levon Aronyan.

    He pointed out the brilliant victories of Armenian chess-players,
    particularly, the victory of Levon Aronyan at World Cup in 2005 and
    the victories of Armenia at the last Olympic Games and the European
    women championship. "When a country lives in peace its economy is
    developing and its sportsmen begin to win," Ilumzhinov said.

    He pointed out the great contribution of the president of the Chess
    Federation of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan to the victories of Armenian
    chess-players.

    To note, Kramnik and Aronyan will play on May 4-6: 6 games - 25
    minute each.
