Monument to Russian General Aleksey Ermolov placed in Minvodi,
Stavropol region, dedicated to the 130th anniversary of the city. The
architect of the monument is Georgi Miasnikov, famous architect and
member of Union of Painters in Stavropol.

The project to create a monument has been supported by people living
in different corners of the world, but the major part of it has been
financed by Armenian Diaspora of Stavropol. Ataman Oleg Gubenkov
expressed his words of gratitude to the Armenian community in Russia,
especially Armenians living in that region and Artem Arzumanyan the
Chairman of the Community of Stavropol.

On October 4, during the opening ceremony of the monument, the high
ranking officials of the region mentioned that the Monument to General
Ermolov has strengthened the idea that Armenians and Cossacks have
been relatives for centuries.

“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
