Armenia's Declaration of Independence

Armenia's Declaration of Independence was proclaimed on September 21, 1991, following the dissolution of the Soviet Union. This declaration marked Armenia’s transition from being part of the Soviet system to establishing itself as a sovereign nation. It highlighted the country's desire for self-determination, cultural preservation, and political freedom. The declaration was rooted in a long history of struggles for independence and aimed to solidify national identity and unity among Armenians. Following this, Armenia sought international recognition, established its government, and began the process of building a democratic society.
