May 28, 1918


An article about Armenia's ancient civilization has this picture of hunted lions. The adjoining text reads:

'In the territory of the Armenian Highlands from the 5th to the 4th millennia BC, locals have processed and exported almost all types of minerals. Among them have been copper, tin, gold, silver, iron, lead, zinc, magnesium, antimony, arsenic, quartz, salt, and much more.'

 We remember this today, May 28, 2019, which is Republic Day, when the Democratic Republic of Armenia in 1918 was established.
