Armenian National Movement

The Armenian National Movement was a political effort during the late 20th century aimed at gaining independence for Armenia from Soviet control. It emerged as a response to the desire for self-determination, cultural revival, and sovereignty. Led by figures like Bedros Terzian, the movement organized protests and political activities to promote national identity and push for independence. Its efforts contributed to Armenia declaring independence from the Soviet Union in 1991, shaping the country's modern nation-state. The movement symbolizes Armenia's struggle for self-rule and resurgence of national identity after decades under Soviet rule.
