Armenian flag drone show draws crowds to Yerevan square

A person with dark hair, a white cap, and a red long-sleeved shirt sits playing a guzheng-like instrument in front of a gray wall. They are positioned under a large, silver, cylindrical structure. Two black cases lie in front of them, one open with the instrument resting on top. A small flag, possibly Armenian, stands to the right of the cases. A woman in a light top and dark pants walks past on the left, her back to the camera. The ground is paved with square blocks.

The image depicts a nighttime street scene in Republic Square, Yerevan, Armenia. In the foreground, a heavily modified, bright yellow, two-door vehicle is parked. This vehicle features large, multi-spoke alloy wheels and an open rear trunk, revealing various small items. The rear window is also filled with assorted merchandise. An emblem displaying the Armenian flag (horizontal red, blue, and orange stripes) is affixed to the vehicle's rear panel. To the right of the yellow vehicle, the front fender and wheel of a light-colored vintage sedan, equipped with a white hubcap, are partially visible. In the midground, a street light post with four ornate, orange-illuminated lanterns stands on the left. Above it, a black pole supports a vertical traffic light, which appears dark, and a lower horizontal traffic light displaying a red signal. To the right, a white ambulance or utility van with red markings and a flashing blue light on its roof is present. Several pedestrians are in motion, including a man in a light blue shirt and beige pants walking alongside a woman in a white shirt and light-colored pants. A blue rectangular street sign, indicating three straight lanes and one right-turn lane, is visible on the upper right. The background is dominated by the illuminated architectural structures of Republic Square, characteristic of Yerevan. Active water fountains with visible jets are prominent, and a circular clock is embedded in one of the building facades. Additional blurred figures of people are distributed throughout the square. The environment is dark, illuminated by various artificial light sources, including street lamps, building lights, and vehicle lights. An asphalt road surface and a section of a tree with dark green foliage in the upper right complete the scene.

A long shot video taken at nighttime shows a drone light show forming the outline of Armenia in the colors of the Armenian flag, with the red on the right, the blue on the bottom, and the orange on the left. The drone light show is displayed in the night sky over a large crowd of people gathered in what appears to be a city square. Buildings and streetlights are visible in the background, including a large, illuminated building on the right. The crowd is looking up at the sky. Some people are holding up their phones to record the event. The video is taken from a low angle, looking up at the sky. The audio contains sounds of people cheering.

A woman plays a string instrument on the right side of the frame while people walk on the street. She wears a white baseball cap, glasses, and a long-sleeved maroon top. Her instrument is dark brown, has many strings, and is on a stand. In front of her, there is an open suitcase on the ground with a yellow blanket and a small flag inside. The flag has three horizontal stripes: red, blue, and orange, from top to bottom. People are walking on the brick-paved sidewalk. In the background, there is a street with cars and buildings. The scene is at night.
