/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Day of the First Republic or the day of
restoration of the Armenian state system was celebrated in the Russian
town of Krasnodar, reported the Yerkramas, the newspaper of Armenians
of Russia.

The festivities were held in the yard of the Armenian Church of
Surb Hovhannes Avetaranich. Creative groups of the center of the
Armenian culture and education “Narek” and of the Armenian community
of Krasnodar gave performance despite the rain.

To remind, May 28 Armenians throughout the globe mark the national
holiday, the Day of the First Republic that was formed in 1918. In

Dashnaktsutyun, one of the oldest Armenian parties, which serves on
the ruling coalition to date.
