    PanARMENIAN.Net - The Sochi branch of the Union of Armenians of
    Russia (UAR) held a meeting with participation of UAR Vice President
    German Ananyants with respect to demolition of the monument to General
    Andranik set in Volkonka settlement of Sochi, Russia, by the Armenian
    community.

    According to Ananyants, the conflict is settled - Lazarevsk region's
    leadership of UAR has conceived its fault and resigned. Currently all
    legal documents are being prepared, while the monument to Andranik
    Ozanyan will be set in Adler soon.

    President of UAR Ara Abramyan was expected to participate in the
    meeting, but he has not arrived in Sochi. Earlier Abramyan condemned
    the monument's demolition, saying he was unaware of the incident and
    promising to clarify its details and make radical decisions, if the
    reports are confirmed.

    Armenia's Consul General to southern part of Russia Ararat Gomtsyan,
    representatives of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun and Heritage party, as
    well as leaders of Javakheti and Hamshen communities of Russia
    also condemned demolition of the monument to General Andranik,
    youtharmenia.ru reported.

    General Andranik Ozanyan is Armenia's national hero. He is one of the
    leaders of the Armenian national liberation movement in the late 19th
    and early 20th centuries. He is also a national hero of Bulgaria. He
    was one of organizers of Sasun and Zangezur defense.

    On August 31, 1927, legendary General Andranik Ozanyan passed away in
    Fresno, California. His body was transported to France, and buried in
    the French Pere Lachaise cemetery. In 200, the government of the second
    independent Armenian Republic decided to relocate General Andranik's
    remains to Armenia, where he received an honorable military reburial
    at Yerablur Pantheon.
