Very soon new statues will be erected in the capital.
In particular, in Ajapnyak community Gevorg Chaush’s statue will
be erected, a monument to Mher Lazarian will be erected near the
theater after Sundukyan, and another to Garegin Nzhdeh – near cinema
“Hayreniq”.
The Yerevan municipality announced a competition in order to make
the statues. The competition took place, but according to chief
architect of Yerevan Samvel Danielyan, the results were not really
pleasing. None of the participants of the competition won, and some
of them were asked to process their plans further and represent them
to the Council of Art and urban development.
