 Armenian resistance continued in the decades following the battle, led by Vardan's successor and nephew, Vahan Mamikonian.In 484 AD, Sahag Bedros I signed the Nvarsak Treaty, which guaranteed religious freedom to the Christian Armenians and granted a general amnesty with permission to construct new churches.Thus, the Armenians see the Battle of Avarayr as a moral victory; 2 June 451 is considered to be a holy day by Armenians, and is one of the most important national and religious days in Armenia.
