SQUARES AND PARKS

1980s, 2005

Alexander Myasnikyan Square is located in the Kentron Administrative District, adjacent to Russia Square. Although it was envisaged in Yerevan’s master plans, the square was developed at a later stage. Its dominant feature is the full-length statue of Alexander Myasnikyan—a Soviet statesman, party and military figure, and literary scholar—carved from pink granite and mounted on a rectangular pedestal (1980; architect: Jim Torosyan; sculptor: Ara Shiraz).
