"SEVEN SPRINGS" DRINKING FOUNTAIN REOPENED IN REPUBLIC SQUARE ON MAY 2
YEREVAN, MAY 3, NOYAN TAPAN. On the initiative of "Yerevan" monthly and
with the support of Yerevan mayor’s office, "7 springs" and Katnaghbyur
drinking fountain was reopened in Yerevan’s Republic Square on May 2.
The author of this water fountain is sculptor Spartak Gndetsian who
tried to built a fountain which will supply fresh water and differ from
other drinking fountains of the city by its design.
According to designer Nuri, in the 1990s some metal parts of this
drinking fountain were stolen, and it lost its previous magnificence.
"The restored drinking founatain with its modern design will serve our
citizens. New buildings are constructed in Yerevan with every passing
year but we should also preserve the old ones," the designer said.
Yerevan residents say that the water of this fountain in Republic
Square differs from that of other drinking fountains by its taste and
it is no accident that the fountain is called Katnaghbyur (Milky
Spring).
