Two monuments in Byureghavan administrative district of Armenia will be restored. Among them is Davit Bejanyan’s “The Ribbon of Eternity” sculpture, Kotayk Governor Romanos Petrosyan informed.
“The Ribbon of Eternity” sculpture will be restored from the scratch since 90 per cent of the monument is destroyed and only the main structure stands,” the governor said, adding along with the restoration, the area near the republican highway where the monument is placed will be renovated to turn the site into a tourist attraction.
In the words of Petrosyan, a reconstruction tender will be announced by the ministry of education, science, culture and sport to choose the construction company. Around 178 million AMD will be allocated for the reconstruction works.
“The Ribbon of Eternity” monument was installed in 1974 dedicated to the builders of the Sevan highway. The sculptor of the monument is David Bejanyan and the architect is Ilya Manucharyan.
