Historical photo of the Red Army on Abovyan street in Yerevan

History teaches that it teaches nothing!

The photo posted below shows the Red Army on Abovyan Street – Yerevan. One hundred and one years ago, on November 29, 1920, the 11th Red Army invaded Armenia.

Armenia became Soviet.

All this happened in a geopolitically complex regional situation ․․․ indeed, history is cyclical, it teaches only that it teaches nothing ․․․
