January 28 marks Armenia's Army Day, commemorating the 1992 establishment of the Republic of Armenia's armed forces less than four months after independence — and only weeks before the outbreak of the First Nagorno-Karabakh War. The date is observed with military exhibitions and tributes at the Yerablur military pantheon overlooking Yerevan.
