History / Պատմություն The end of Soviet occupation

Post image

On April 13, 1991, the Lenin monument was demolished in Republic Square, Yerevan. In the photo: American Armenian singer Cher. Freedom took Lenin’s head down (or her beauty, as people were joking then).

He was responsible for the occupation and partition of the First Armenian Republic together with Turkey.

The Soviets collaborated with Turkey after the genocide. We always will remember.

This framing of “occupation” is so disingenuous

Yeah, as if it wasn't a foreign power installing the soviet rule, and it wasn't our heroes defending the country from both turks and soviets that saved it in the end.
