Changes in station names

After the collapse of the Soviet Union and Armenia's independence, the names of the three stations were changed in 1992:

The "Lenin Square" station was renamed "Republic Square."
Oktemberyan" station was renamed "Zoravar Andranik,
Spandaryan Square" station was renamed "Garegin Nzhdeh Square".
Also in 1983 the station "Saralandzhi" was renamed in honor of the Soviet commander, twice Hero of the Soviet Union, Marshal of the Soviet Union Ivan Khristoforovich Baghramyan.

The first section "Friendship" - "David Sasunsky" with 4 stations was opened on March 7, 1981. Today it includes 1 line with a length of 13.4 km and 10 stations. There are deep and shallow stations, as well as 3 ground stations. According to the length of the operated lines it takes 169th place in the world, 14th place among the subways of the former USSR and third place in Transcaucasia.

Smoking and carrying weapons is forbidden in the Yerevan Metro. It is also one of the last subways in the former Soviet Union (along with the Baku subway) where photography is officially forbidden.
