The statue of a prominent figure from the Armenian national liberation movement, the leader of the fedayeens Andranik Ozanyan, is installed in Vahan Zatikyan Park, located between Svachyan and Raffi streets in the Malatia-Sebastia district.

Initially, a gypsum model of the statue was introduced during the ceremony, but it was later replaced with a basalt statue in the autumn of the same year.
The commander is depicted seated in a slightly tilted posture with his hands resting on his knees. The height of the statue is 7 meters.
