Thousands gathered in Republic Square as units from different branches of the armed forces marched through the capital, accompanied by displays of armoured vehicles, artillery systems and low‑flying military aircraft.
Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan addressed the ceremony, describing it as a symbol of a “new historical era” for Armenia and framing the parade as a demonstration of statehood and resilience after years of war and political crisis. The event drew particular attention as the country continues to redefine its security and diplomatic priorities in the South Caucasus, following changes along its borders and shifting alliances in the region.
