Yerevan Municipality's decision to install a statue to the great
Armenian statesman Garegin Nzhdeh near one of the Government buildings
in the center of the city has provoke uproar in different circles.
Many think that the statue should be placed in the square named after
the great political thinker, which is in Shengavit district in Yerevan.
Sculptor Levon Tokmajyan, a member of the Artistic Commission of the
Yerevan Municipality Council, is concerned about the artistic value
of the statue rather than its location.
"We went and found the solution in situ; the statue faces the street
with its back turned to the square," he said.
The Municipality Council has already approved the decision to place
the statue in Kentron administrative district of Yerevan.
Initially it was decided that the statue would have a swords in its
hand, but now they decided to erect the statue with a folded hand.
But Levon Tokmajyan did not like that option.
The sculptor says he does not like the statues placed in the country
in the last 20 years.
