The results of a competition will decide in mid December what statue
will be erected in the middle of Republican Square at the place
where a board stands now. During the Soviet era, this was the place
of Proletariat leader, Vladimir Lenin’s statue. Samvel Danielyan,
chief architect of Yerevan, said architects have submitted more than
two dozens proposals. The architect said he is prone to support any
suggestion that will be compatible with the architectural outlook
of the square. "Let’s wait and see which proposal will be accepted,"
he said.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
