erection of a monument to Anastas Mikoyan, Soviet statesman.
The panelists include:
Sahak Poghosyan, architect, art specialist;
Nazareth Karoyan, art critic, founder/director of Institute for
Contemporary Art;

The panelists will discuss the plans to erect a monument to Bolshevik
and Soviet statesman Anastas Mikoyan, as well as the policy of
monuments erection in Yerevan.
On April 30, Yerevan Council of Elders made a scandalous decision to
erect a monument to Anastas Mikoyan, who is considered to have a
controversial biography. The decision was made upon the proposal of
Tigran Barseghyan, Chief Architect of Yerevan. Bolshevik Mikoyan’s
bronze monument is planned to be erected in the center of Yerevan,
specifically, in the park lying between Isahakyan and Koryun streets.
