    Armenian alpinists to ascend Mount Elbrus

    YEREVAN, May 2 -- Three Armenian alpinists will ascend Mount Elbrus
    on May 3-13 in commemoration of the 60th anniversary of the Allied
    victory in World War II, the 60th anniversary of the United Nations,
    and the U.N. International Year of Sport and Physical Education.

    U.N. Resident Coordinator in Armenia Lise Grande said on Monday that
    the Armenian alpinists would set up U.N. and Armenian flags and U.N.
    International Year of Sport and Physical Education posters at the
    top of the mountain.

    She said it was not so much a sport competition as an event dedicated
    to the millions of people who fought for the victory over fascism. It
    will involve about 500 participants from 20 countries.
