Google doodle today: 25th Anniversary of Armenia's Independence

Today’s Doodle marks the 25th anniversary of Armenia’s Independence from Soviet rule with an illustration of the Yerevan Opera Theatre (The Armenian National Academic Theatre of Opera and Ballet). Opened in 1933, this architectural treasure is emblematic of the country’s deep cultural roots, and a must-see attraction in the vibrant capital. On Independence Day, Yerevan comes alive with festivities galore, from fireworks to festivals. Tricolor red, blue and orange flags wave in the breeze, traditional culinary treats abound, and Armenian pop stars and dance ensembles perform in the open air on Republic Square. Amid the festivities, Armenians also mark the milestone by commemorating their countrymen who crusaded for freedom. On September 21st, 1991, Armenia carried out a referendum on independence from the USSR after 70 years of Soviet rule. The Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic henceforth became known as the free, self-governing Republic of Armenia.
