Armenian independence

Armenian independence refers to Armenia's establishment as a sovereign nation after years of foreign control and conflict. Following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, Armenia declared independence on September 21, 1991. This marked a significant moment for Armenians, allowing them to govern themselves and preserve their cultural identity. The country faced challenges, including territorial disputes, particularly with Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh. Independence has allowed Armenia to aspire for economic development, democratic governance, and international recognition while navigating regional tensions and rebuilding its national identity after a tumultuous history.
