Today, on September 21, the Third Republic of Armenia celebrates Independence Day.

 

On August 23, 1990, the Supreme Soviet of Armenia adopted the declaration of Independence of Armenia, in which it was noted that the Armenian SSR was being disorganized and a new state, the Republic of Armenia, was being formed.

 

In a referendum on September 21, 1991, the Armenian people voted for secession from the USSR and the formation of an independent state.
