The present Doodle remembers Armenia’s Independence Day, referred to locally as Ankakhutyan or. On this day in 1991, Armenia passed a choice with an almost consistent vote to proclaim sway after right around 70 years under Soviet guideline.

Represented in the Doodle fine art is Armenia’s red-blue-and-orange banner, which was first authoritatively flown for very nearly three years after the country’s underlying announcement of opportunity from Russia in 1918. The plan was formally restored in 1990 after Armenia embraced its Declaration of Independence, and the banner keeps on filling in as an image of Armenian opportunity, strength, and regular excellence today.

Cheerful Independence Day, Armenia!
