Armenian holiday today

Today is the 9th of May, Armenians call this day a triple holiday. On the 9th of March in 1945 Armenia in the Soviet Union won the Second World War against Germany. On the 9th of May in 1992 an operation named ‘'Wedding in the mountains'' was organized at the result of which Armenians took their land Shushi back. In 1992 on the 5th of May (though Armenians celebrate it on the 5th of May) the army of Artsakh was created as one.

Today we can also add a new holiday to the ones mention above: it is the victory of Armenian Velvet Revolution. Visit Armenia and be sure a new era in the life of Armenians is open now - a new and developed country is going to welcome you!
