Armenia to solemnly mark First Republic anniversary in 2018 – National Archives’ director

June 5, 2017 By administrator

First Republic anniversary in 2018Armenia will host solemn celebrations in 2018 to mark the 100th anniversary of the First Republic and the glorious victories held in battles for the country’s liberation.

It is planned particularly to hold an exhibition in Sardarapat to display all the historic records (as well as personal items) associated with the heroic battle, Amatuni Virabyan, the director of the National Archives of Armenia, told reporters on Monday.
“We need to bring as many documents as possible apart from the items we have in our archives. In a televised speech in Beirut just a few days ago, I emphasized the fact that our archives are very much alike our people, who are scattered across the globe. In the neighboring Georgia, it is practically possible to find more records on the Armenia of 1920,” he said.

Amatuni also unveiled plans for publishing an edition comprising known records on the First Republic’s history. The National Archive has compiled the documents (in Armenian, Russian, French and Turkish) over the past years to put them into circulation on the remarkable anniversary.

A separate collection will be dedicated to the great heroes who contributed to the May victories. Most of them were exiled or killed during the 1937 reprisals.

The victory allowed the Armenian people to regain the statehood lost centuries ago. The Armenian National Council declared in Tbilisi the independence of Armenia and establishment of First Republic.

It was 96 years ago on this day that the Armenian National Council declared, in Tbilisi, Armenia’s independence and the creation of the First Republic of Armenia.

The May 28 celebrations in Armenia are traditionally held at Sardarapat Memorial, which eternalizes the memory of the Armenian heroes who prevented a Turkish invasion of Armenia in 1918.
