Lovers’ Park Yerevan Opens its Doors to the Public

Yerevan, October 16 2008: Hayastan All-Armenian Fund is proud to announce
the opening of Lovers’ Park Yerevan on October 17, at 1 pm. Starting
October 18, the park will welcome all the visitors.

Revitalization works of the 1,6 hectare park have been implemented according
to Swiss Landscape Architect (DPLG), Pierre Rambach’s design. He is the
author of many works on eastern gardens and has rich experience in designing
boulevards worldwide.

The sponsor of the rehabilitation of the park is the Boghossian Foundation.
Since 1995 Hayastan All-Armenian Fund has implemented numerous projects
through the sponsorship of the Boghossian family, amongst which the
President of Republic of Armenia Award is particularly noteworthy.

"Implementation of construction works in this much-loved park was a great
responsibility. Together with the Boghossian Foundation we have spared no
efforts in order to restore the park, as well as have done our best to
provide a fresh touch and new quality. I hope that the park will continue to
be a favorite place for relaxation both for the residents of Yerevan and the
guests to the capital", says Ara Vardanyan, the acting executive director of
Hayastan All-Armenian Fund.

As you step in at the main entrance, you find yourself in a lovely cozy
setting, the paths of which encourage you to stroll and chat. The artificial
lake with its islets, the waterfalls, the stone compositions, the beautiful,
nursed lawns and the plentiful flowers promise wonderful moments of
relaxation and leisure to the visitors. As in the past, fans of chess and
backgammon will be able to spend their time in beautifully furbished and
inviting corners of the park. Lack of stairs and sharp passages make the
park a comfortable place for the physically challenged people to spend their
time in. Decorative lights will come as a nice surprise especially for those
who enjoy strolls in the evenings.
Boghossian Foundation is committed to carrying out maintenance of the park
for the next 21 years.

Children and pedagogues of the kindergarten neighboring the park are amongst
the "privileged" few who, weeks before its official opening ceremony, have
been enjoying the stunning vista of the park.

The President of the Republic of Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan, RA Prime Minister
Tigran Sargsyan, Chair of the RA Constitutional Court, Gagik Haroutiunian,
RA National Assembly Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan, Members of Parliament,
Ministers, the Ambassador to the Vatican, Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone,
Ambassadors, cultural figures and honorary guests from Switzerland, Belgium,
France, Lebanon, the USA and other countries will participate in the opening
ceremony of the park.
