THE ISSUE OF THE DAY OF SOVIETIZATION OF ARMENIA IN ARMENIAN HISTORIOGRAPHY

Abstract

The article presents the opinions and assessments of the day of sovietization of Armenia
in Soviet, Post-Soviet and Diasporian historiography. The authors representing these three
groups have covered and assessed both the issue of the sovietization of Armenia and the day of the sovietization of Armenia. While there was a consensus in Soviet-Armenian historiography
on considering November 29 as the day of Armenia’s sovietization, there is no such common
opinion in the historiography of the Diaspora and the period of independence. In addition to
presenting these views and evaluations in the article, we have also tried to clarify the confusion
created around the day of Armenia’s sovietization.
