    Armenia celebrates Independence Day

    Xinhua, September 22, 2013


    Armenia on Saturday celebrated the 22nd anniversary of its
    Independence from the Soviet Union with a range of festive activities
    nationwide, including a gala reception in Yerevan, the national
    capital.

    Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan also delivered a congratulating
    speech in the national capital in the day to mark the occasion.

    Twenty-two years ago from Saturday, by the decision of the Supreme
    Council of the Soviet Armenia, a referendum was held over the question
    of withdrawal from the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR) and
    proclaiming an independent state was put to vote, and 99 percent of
    the participants voted in favor of an independence.
