Sculptor: Karlen Nurijanyan
Cast: Gaspar Gasparyan
The monument dedicated
to the Armenian people's eponymous ancestor and
supreme god of war, Hayk Nahapet, is located in the 2nd district of Nork. It
was originally installed in the city center, near the Moscow cinema. It was
moved to Nor Nork in 1975. The monument is made of forged copper and is 3.5 m
high.
Pieces of unprocessed
basalt under Hayk's feet create the natural environment of the monument. In
Hayk's hand is a strung bow, on his back are arrows and a quiver. The powerful
and strong image expresses the popular notions of Hayk as an invincible hero.
