The Supreme Council of the Armenian SSR (Russian: Верховный Совет Армянской ССР) was the supreme soviet (main legislative institution) of the Armenian Soviet Socialist Republic (from July 1938), and the independent Republic of Armenia, from 23 August 1990 until 1995 when it was superseded by the National Assembly, with the adoption of the Armenian Constitution.
The Supreme Council was preceded by the Armenian National Council (1917-1918) and then a Khorhurd (legislature), before Armenia became part of the Soviet Union in 1920.[1]
