SQUARES AND PARKS

2019

The park is located between Mashtots Avenue and Saryan Street. It was established in the 1970s and covers an area of approximately 20,000 m².

The park was renovated in 2015–2016. About 10,000 new plants (trees, shrubs, and flowers) were planted, the walkways were repaved, and musical fountains were installed.

It is one of Yerevan's younger parks. Following its reconstruction, it was named after Diana Abgar (Anahit Hovhannes Aghabekyan, 1859–1937)—an Armenian writer, publicist, public figure, diplomatic representative and Consul General of the First Republic of Armenia in the Far East, particularly in Japan, author of nine books on the Armenian Genocide, and the world's first female diplomat.
