The members of the Song and Dance ensemble of the Northern Fleet of the Russian Navy have congratulated the Russian peacekeeping contingent in the remote observation posts of Nagorno-Karabakh (Artsakh), reported the press service of the Russian defense ministry.

The members of this ensemble presented a new creative New Year concert for these Russian peacekeepers.

"The ensemble's concerts [in Karabakh] will last until the end of the New Year holidays. We will congratulate each serviceman and give them New Year presents," said Aleksey Polyukhovich, a representative of the Russian peacekeeping contingent.

"Thinking that we could not sing songs with serious content on the eve of the New Year, we decided to slightly diversify the repertoire," said Dmitry Akmanov, director of the Song and Dance ensemble of the Northern Fleet.

During the New Year and Christmas holidays, the ensemble will perform at all 27 Russian observation points in Nagorno-Karabakh for the Russian peacekeepers, the residents of the Askeran, Martuni and Martakert regions, as well as at the capital Stepanakert’s boarding school as part of a humanitarian action, and will congratulate children aged 6 to 15.
