    GOVERNMENT 'POSTPONES' OPENING OF MONUMENT IN YEREVAN FOR 5 TIMES NOW

    Tert.am
    21:59 31.10.11

    The opening of a monument in Yerevan dedicated to relations between
    Armenia and the Arab world has for five times been postponed,
    according to an article by the Armenian-langue newspaper Azdak
    published in Lebanon.

    The author, Met Terterian, writes that the construction of the "Arabic
    Gratitude" was completed in March 2009. He then claims that last
    time Armenia's government has postponed the opening was on October
    5 this year.

    He slow writes that the government had initially agreed to celebrate
    the opening with great fanfare with the presence of foreign
    ambassadors, the president and the Catholicos.

    Further, he writes that the sculptor, Varoujan Salatyan, conceived
    the idea by taking into account two factors - the geopolitical fortune
    Armenia and the Arab world shared, and the assistance Arabs generally
    provided the survivors of the Armenian Genocide.

    Terterian then asks if the decision by Armenia's government to postpone
    the opening of the monument has been made under pressure from Turkey,
    Israel and US.
