Monument symbolizing Yerevan in deplorable condition

Monument symbolizing Yerevan in deplorable condition

18:31 – 08.07.12

While the Yerevan mayor and different district governors promise to
impart a new appearance to the capital city, emphasizing the
importance of maintaining symbols, the monument on the Yerevan-Sevan
highway came under photo reporter Gagik Shamshyan’s camera focus.

The major symbol of Armenia’s capital is buried in waste and dirt,
with numerous notes on its walls discrediting the city and its
residents, including the officials giving generous promises.

The photo reporter is hopeful the competent bodies will turn a special
attention to the monument.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
