YEREVAN. – The Independence Day has become a sort of holiday toasts for us, and, on September 21, again routine protocol words are heard that independence is an indisputable value.    

Non-pro-government Prosperous Armenia Party National Assembly Faction Secretary Naira Zohrabyan told the above-said to Armenian News-NEWS.am. 

In her words, nothing is said with respect to what the Armenian people need to do so that Armenia’s independence truly becomes indisputable, so that independence spreads onto every citizen the realization that he lives in an independent country.

Zohrabyan also noted that each and every resident of Armenia should be aware that, with our work, we are called to create a country which Armenians do not leave.  

To note, Armenia celebrates Independence Day on September 21.

The Declaration of Independence was adopted at the session of the Supreme Council of Armenia on August 23, 1990. Under this document, the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic was renamed the Republic of Armenia.

Under the decree of Armenia’s Supreme Council, a referendum on secession from the USSR and the establishment of an independent statehood was held on September 21, 1990. A total of 94.99 percent of the citizens voted “for” independence.

Two days later, the Supreme Council declared Armenia an independent and sovereign state.
