18:13 * 04.03.15

Today, March 4, 2015, marks the 137th birthday anniversary of the
father of neoclassical Armenian architecture Alexander Tamanyan.

In an interview with Tert.am, architect Sashur Kalashyan said:

“In no country can you find a monument to a city architect, but we
have a monument to Tamanyan. This is evidence of his renown as well.

But along with the formation of our Third Republic, we rejected out
heritage, spiritual values were not important any longer, but material
things were brought into the foreground. We knew Tamanyan as bearer
of moral values.”
