ARMENIA MARKS DAY OF THE FIRST REPUBLIC MAY 28, 2008
- Armenia is marking Day of the First Republic today. Having defeated the Turkish army in Sardarapat May 26, Armenian troops succeeded in stopping the Turkish intervention in the Transcaucasus and rescue Armenia from complete elimination. The Armenian Republic was proclaimed the Armenian National Council May 28, 1918 in Tiflis after the decline of the Transcaucasian Democratic Federative Republic. May 29 the western and eastern bureaus of ARF Dashnaktsutyun appointed Hovhannes Kajaznuni the first-ever Prime Minister of independent Armenia with Yerevan as capital. The last Prime Minister was Simon Vratsyan. The Republic of Armenia had existed for two years in all. On December 2, 1920, the troops of the 11th Red Army entered Yerevan and the republic became soviet. In 1991 the Armenian SSR proclaimed independence and the parliament announced May 28 a legal holiday. A monument to Sardarapat battle heroes was inaugurated in 1968.
