Armenian alpinists will leave for Iran to climb 5671 meter high Mount Damavand, the highest peak of the Islamic Republic.

Seven-member national team from Armenia’s federation of alpinism and mountain tourism will arrive in Iran on June 30 at the invitation of Iranian alpinism federation.

Armenian team has not officially participated in such events for 15 years, emergency ministry press service informed Armenian News-NEWS.am. It is a good chance and a serious challenge to revive traditions of the Armenian mountain climbing.
