Today in Armenian history- 1920 Lenin chairs a meeting of the Central Committee of the Russian Communist Party on the political question of Armenia and Georgia.
- 1991 The USSR Constitutional Oversight Committee deems unconstitutional the Supreme Soviets decision to create a Republic Organizational Committee in Soviet Azerbaijan headed by Viktor Polianichko (on 1990 01 15) in Artsakh as well as the 1991 11 23 decision by Azerbaijani President Mutalibov to dissolve the Nagorno Gharabagh Autonomous Region. It also revoked the reunification decision taken by Armenia and Artsakh on 1989 12 01. It does not annul the decision (1991 09 02) of the Nagorno Karabagh District Councils (including the Shahumian district) on the establishment of the Republic of Nagorno Karabagh. That decision was deemed in compliance with the then existing law of 1990 04 03 on the Procedure of Secession of a Soviet Republic from the USSR.
